MANILA, Philippines — If you were on social media recently, then you probably know that something iconic and well-loved around the world just made a huge comeback here in the Philippines and opened for the first time in Arcovia City.
Yes, we are talking about the popular American fried chicken chain POPEYES, which made quite the buzz after unveiling a hip and vibrant image here in the country—a fresh global concept that was unraveled by the brand for the first time ever.
Popeyes first originated in Louisiana in 1972 and enjoyed a huge following over the years for its signature New Orleans-style southern fried chicken—warm, juicy, and perfectly tender pieces that are best enjoyed with buttermilk biscuits or seasoned Cajun fries. Today, it has grown to become one of the biggest quick-service restaurant chains in the world with close to 3,000 branches spread all over the United States and in various parts of the world.
The clamor for Popeyes has finally been answered here in Manila, but what really sets this brand apart from any other fried chicken?
Fried chicken fanatics loved pairing Popeyes chicken with a variety of other delicious must-haves on the chain’s menu. Prepare yourself for a sumptuous experience as you sink your teeth into Popeye’s spicy chicken, chicken tenders, fried shrimp, and burgers, among others. Aside from biscuits and fries, diners can also pair their chicken with sweet-style spaghetti, or have their fill of rice and mashed potato or creamy crab soup.
What’s more, Popeyes also has a Buckets and Bundles set that can surely satiate the fried chicken cravings of bigger groups.
Whatever pairing appeals to your taste, only one thing is certain: the opening of the first Popeyes in the country has caused quite a stir in the foodie community.
A visit at Popeyes can be your best takeoff point as you enjoy the rest of Arcovia City in Pasig. With a lot of exciting things rising in this dynamic township, bringing your family and friends to Arcovia City has certainly become a must! Here are a couple of other things to do in this new leisure and lifestyle district along C5 Road.
Shopping at Landers Superstore
When you shop inside an 8,000-square meter superstore, it’s most likely that you’ll have loads of fun out of the experience.
Exclusive Landers Superstore members can get their hands on topnotch imported goods and experience the same kind of offerings and perks as in other Landers branches, including its dining outlets, the New York diner-inspired Landers Central with its refillable drinks, and in-house coffee shop Doppio.
Bike around the township
Arcovia City’s wide, paved streets make for an ideal biking spot. Grab your bikes and tag your friends along as you enjoy the rest of the afternoon when the sun’s not too hot, of course.
As the township continues to rise, making the most out of your time here will also be easier because Arcovia City will be dotted by over 1,000 trees in the near future, highlighting developer Megaworld’s commitment to reducing the carbon footprint of its integrated developments. This greening feature will help provide an outdoor thermal comfort for future residents, workers, tenants, and visitors of the township.
Arco de Emperador at night
Once you’re done with shopping and eating, you can relax and be inspired by the tallest bronze monument in the country.
Created as a tourism landmark for the Philippines while bringing message of passion, hardwork, and perseverance in reaching for greatness, the Arco de Emperador makes for a perfect backdrop for your family or friends’ group photo. It’s also an award-winning architectural wonder that recently won the Gold Award for the Purpose-built Category at the 2019 Property and Real Estate Excellence Awards.
