Unwrapping the feast: foodpanda reveals its top orders for 2023, unveils Rewind feature
Whether it was a late-night snack, a morning boost, or urgent grocery run, foodpanda was the go-to online food and grocery delivery platform in 2023. With the start of another year, the platform shared the top food and grocery trends of the past year based on the collective orders of app users.
“We offer a wide variety of cuisines on the app, but we've seen that our customers’ top food orders have remained consistent throughout the years. In 2023, we saw many more customers try our services outside food delivery, through groceries, pickup and even parcel delivery,” shared foodpanda Philippines Growth and Marketing Director Patricia Jacinto.
Get ready to dive into the heart of foodpanda's top orders in 2023!
The never-ending reign of burgers
In a world that's constantly changing, there's one constant – the burger reigns supreme! It has held its ground as the undisputed champion of foodpanda’s deliveries for years. Fast food is a formidable force, both for delivery and pick-up.
Burgers landing the top spot for both deliveries and pick-up orders also reflects the dominance of fast food as the most ordered cuisine on the app, followed by Filipino dishes and western cuisines like chicken and pizza.
“Burgers have always been among foodpanda’s top orders over the years. It seems that our app users love to order what they can eat on-the-go and the taste they are familiar with, whether it’s for delivery or pick-up,” Jacinto noted.
The grocery stars
When it comes to the most ordered grocery essentials, leading the band are none other than bread and liquor!
Our love for sandwiches and toast knows no bounds. Bread, the unsung hero of every kitchen, takes the top spot for pandamart, ensuring we never run out of carbs.
In foodpanda Shops, liquor emerges as the undisputed sovereign! It appears that a lot of foodpanda users are well-versed in the art of raising a glass to joyous occasions.
“The order basket of our app users are very diverse which is evident in the top grocery items. But it only goes to show that the foodpanda app has everything our customers want and need – from pantry essentials like bread to seasonal items like liquor,” Jacinto said.
Voucher-mania
As if the culinary delights weren't enough, foodpanda users are treated to a voucher extravaganza! The top three voucher rockstars – EATNA, FPASKO, and MERIENDA – have been the knights in shining armor, saving the day when cravings hit hard.
The great foodpanda payment face-off
In a world where cash is often crowned king, foodpanda users are rewriting the rules! The battleground of payment preferences is a neck-and-neck race, with an increasing number of users embracing digital payments.
Jacinto added that they rolled out an e-wallet service for quick and easy app payments. “pandapay lets users top up funds to the foodpanda app, ensuring secure and convenient payment for food or grocery orders. Plus, we’re also throwing in some perks like cashback for discounts on future orders.”
Aside from the overall orders from app users, they also introduced at the end of the year the foodpanda Rewind 2023 – a special treat that gives users an exclusive look at their orders, top dishes, preferred cuisines, and more all available in the app.
The cool feature lets you look back at all the tasty stuff and essential items you've ordered with foodpanda. Because just like your music taste and playlists, your food orders deserve a shoutout too! If you haven't checked out yet, take a peek at your foodpanda culinary journey with Rewind 2023!

Watching a movie alone can be liberating and relaxing. If there’s a movie out right now that you’ve been eyeing for months, don’t hesitate and book that ticket for your day-off.

For the kikay shoppers: Retail therapy at your favorite stores
Update your wardrobe and wellness kits with a much-needed shopping spree, especially after you get your paycheck. Don’t forget to get a thoughtful gift for your friends and family, especially if they can’t come with you. It can be new clothing, accessories, or beauty products that they’ve been checking out on their favorite online shops. They will appreciate you treating them to nice stuff, even on regular days.

The chilly Christmas weather calls for a warm chocolate drink. Express your love in a sweet way by treating friends and family with the Swiss Miss Bliss Pack, which comes in a beautiful box where you can write a sweet, heartfelt letter to show your appreciation to your family and friends. This limited-edition holiday gift pack also comes with a limited-edition mug that they can use anytime, anywhere to treat themselves good.

5 creative ways to make after-school activities more fun
Kids spend most of their weekdays in school. From classes to extracurricular activities, they deserve a fun treat when they get home, especially after a long day. This is the perfect opportunity for parents to get creative with after-school activities as a reward for kids doing an awesome job in their classes and finishing their assignments on time.
If you need ideas to make your kids’ after-school routine more fun and rewarding, here are some suggestions:
#1 Get crafty and make a calming jar
A calming jar is a sensory item that can help relax anyone that shakes it. You can easily make this with your kids by pouring glitters, hand soap, and watercolor in a clear jar – then mix! This will create a shimmery mixture that can be compared to a snow globe when shaken. This is a great artsy activity that you can do in just a few minutes.
#2 Sing your heart out
Music can uplift anyone’s mood. Once your kids are done with their homework, you can play their favorite songs on Spotify or put on lyric videos on YouTube to have a videoke party in your sala as a treat to them. To make it more fun and exciting, dress up as your favorite singers, so you’ll really feel like you’re in their shoes. Dancing is also highly encouraged!
#3 Get active and create new games at the
park
Nothing beats park dates after school. Take your kids to a nearby park where you can spend time at the playground before going home. You can also organize a scavenger hunt but with a twist where kids are challenged to find as many items in different colors as they can. And by the end of a timer, the one with the most number of items wins. This can help kids de-stress and feel recharged before they start on their assignments and go back to school the next day.
#4 Whip up a fun, yummy drink
Chocolate is always a great reward after a long day or week in school. An easy recipe that you and your kids can do at home is the Funtasy Mallows Fudge Freeze, a colorful shake made with Swiss Miss Funtasy Mallows. The product is made with premium chocolate and real milk, topped with colorful marshmallows. Turn the day around and level up the fun with this snack time drink.
Make after-school activities more fun and rewarding for your kids with Swiss Miss Funtasy Mallows
Here’s what you need to make a Funtasy Mallows Fudge Freeze:
INGREDIENTS (Good for two servings)
●
2 packs Swiss Miss Funtasy Mallows

½ cup water

Watching a movie together at home is a great bonding activity for the whole family. Decorate your sala with fairy lights and movie posters to add more ambiance for the best indoor movie experience. Get your snacks and Funtasy Mallow Fudge Freeze, and get cozy on the couch while enjoying your chosen flick. This is a fun way to reward your kids with an exciting viewing experience after school days.
These after-school activities are a great way to let your kids have fun before another school day, and also appreciated for their hard work. Your kids will certainly appreciate every treat that you give them.
