From leading the “lechon manok” craze in the mid-1980s, Baliwag Lechon Manok now steps into the new normal with its delectable array of ready-to-heat and ready-to-fry All-time Filipino favorites.
In 37 years, Baliwag has, indeed, proven itself as a go-to for Filipino food lovers nationwide. It has over 400 kiosk outlets, 40 food court branches and six restaurants nationwide. But it’s not stopping there. In fact, this iconic brand’s new offerings could very well be your key to a hassle-free, varied and delectable noche buena!
Aside from their ‘juicy-licious’ lechon manok (best eaten with everyone’s favorite special sauce), there are more food choices to try, including all-time favorites such as ‘crispy-licious’ liempo and chicharon which now comes in plain, spicy, and with laman.
Three food items are also making waves now—Crispy Bagnet, Crispy Ulo, and Crispy Pata—all of which are available in frozen ready-to-fry packages. With some dining restrictions still in place, the Baliwag team knew that they had to make sure their all-time favorite dishes are still enjoyed by many Filipinos at home. “We repackaged some of our existing products and brought in together with some new merchandise to the market via our kiosks and restaurants,” says representatives of Baliwag.
There are also over 15 favorite Filipino dishes that are sold as ready-to-heat packs, including Pork Binagoongan, Beef Steak, Kare-Kare, Beef Caldereta, Lechon Paksiw, Dinuguan, Lengua, Callos, Embutido, Laing, Spaghetti sauce. These food packs are good for three to four persons, making it an easy and no-brainer way to prepare delicious meals at home, or even to bring to work and trips. Everyone also has to try their original tasting Baliwag fried chicken, the Chikititas, which is also an easy dish to prepare.
All of these were conceptualized during the early stages of the pandemic. “We noticed that most people couldn’t eat out and found it more convenient and safer to eat at home. So we thought of a way to bring the Baliwag cooking that many are looking for into their own homes. And with this, the idea of ready-to-heat and ready-to-fry food was born.”
Food storage is also easy with both ready-to-heat and ready-to-fry items, with simple cooking instructions printed on all the product labels. “Anyone can drop by our kiosks, food court branches, and restaurants every day during store hours. We are also serving our products via online ordering with our delivery partners.” Last, but not the least, don’t forget their bottled side dishes and food accompaniments such as Atsara, Bagoong, Chili Hot Bagoong, and Kimchi that make meals extra flavorful.
And whether you choose to dine out al fresco or dine in at any Baliwag Grill & Restaurants, eat at home or send your favorite ready-to-fry Baliwag Greats, ready-to-heat Baliwag food packs, the Filipino tradition of salu-salo with family and friends will continue this holiday season. Baliwag makes sure that the love and care of Filipinos will be felt through meals shared—be it virtually or physically, especially this Christmas for Noche Buena and New Year. There are so many food combinations to choose from that you can definitely have a Baliwag feast every day.
