When January rolls in, Cebu lights up with color, rhythm, and that unmistakable Sinulog buzz. Streets fill with music, dancers, and celebrations, but amid all the excitement, one thing quietly ties everyone together, food. This year, foodpanda is making it even easier for Cebuanos to enjoy their favorite Sinulog flavors without missing a beat.

From January 15 to 21, foodpanda is rolling out exclusive Sinulog deals to make celebrating more convenient and budget-friendly. New users can enjoy free delivery and 50% off with the code NEWPANDA, while foodpanda Pro users can get 30% off using SINULOGPRO, perfect for fiesta feasts or cozy nights at home.

Savoring Cebu’s Icons and Everyday Comforts

No Sinulog celebration is truly complete without lechon, Cebu’s ultimate food icon. Cebu’s Tasty Lechon remains a crowd favorite, known for its perfectly crispy skin and flavorful meat. Whether you prefer the classic version or the spicy kick, it’s a dish that brings people together, not just during fiestas, but for any special (or even ordinary) day.

When it comes to comfort food, Sunburst Fried Chicken has been a longtime staple for many Cebuanos. Its crispy, well-seasoned chicken and hearty rice meals make it a reliable choice for busy days, family dinners, or quick cravings.

For those looking for bold, flavorful bites, Jafar’s has become a go-to destination for shawarma, wraps, rice bowls, burritos, and fresh salads. What started as a humble kiosk in 2019 has grown into a well-loved brand across Cebu.

“Sinulog is always a very busy time for us, with both walk-in customers and online orders pouring in,” shared Julie Pagobo, Marketing Specialist of Jafar’s. “foodpanda helps us reach more customers and manage orders more smoothly during the busiest days of the festival.”

For a taste of nostalgia, Orange Brutus continues to hold a special place in Cebuano food culture. Famous for its sizzling burger steak and classic fast-food favorites, the brand first opened in the 1980s along Colon Street and remains a trusted go-to for filling, affordable meals today.

If you’re planning a family gathering or a simple handa at home, Hukad offers classic Filipino dishes perfect for sharing. Meanwhile, Dimsum Break provides an easy way to enjoy Chinese favorites, rice meals, noodles, and dimsum, without the hassle of cooking.

Cebu’s café scene also shines during Sinulog. Abaca Baking Company serves up artisanal breads, pastries, all-day brunch plates, and specialty coffee, including their cozy Campfire Latte made with espresso, chocolate, milk, and marshmallows.

Another beloved coffee spot is Good Habits, a homegrown café that has grown to six branches since 2022. “foodpanda makes it so much easier for our customers to enjoy their favorite drinks and dishes,” said Rick Dylan Ostrea, co-owner of Good Habits. “With just a few taps on the app, they can order anytime, anywhere.”

For budget-friendly comfort food, Alberto’s Pizza remains a favorite. What started as a small pizza shop near Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center has become a reliable choice for affordable, delicious pizza, especially during busy festival days.

Street food lovers know that Barangay Tisa is the place to be, especially for siomai. Among the many stalls, Way Tugpahay Siomai stands out, serving thousands of freshly steamed pieces daily, perfect for quick, satisfying bites during the festive rush.

And for dessert, Ally Mango offers a sweet, refreshing finish with its famous mango shakes and mango sticky rice, made from locally sourced Cebu mangoes. From night markets to online orders, the brand has become a beloved part of Cebu’s food scene.

With hundreds of local food partners on the app, foodpanda makes it easy to explore Cebu’s rich and diverse flavors, all in one place.

Celebrating Sinulog, Your Way

While many take to the streets for parades and festivities, others prefer to celebrate at home with family and friends. Whether you’re hosting a small gathering, relaxing after a long day, or navigating crowded streets, foodpanda makes it simple to enjoy your favorite local dishes, without the long lines or the hassle of cooking.
