5 Affordable Meals starting at P99 in GrabFood

I also buy food for dinner because we live quite a distance from the city so I end up going home late.  It’s convenient to buy cooked meals.  But when I order, I always choose food that is within my budget.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get the Coke Mismo because of the shortage these days. I shared the cheesy chips with my colleagues and they liked it! 3. Or iginal Sisig – Butcher’s Best
