1. Jollibee

Network-wise, Jollibee is the No. 1 fast-food chain in the country today, with more than 600 outlets all over the country (278 of them in Metro Manila alone — for delivery, call 87000) and over 30 stores abroad, bringing a taste of Pinoy burger and more to the world. Jollibee is surely busy as a bee. And to think it all started as a small mom-and-pop store 30 years ago. It’s also the most awarded Filipino fast-food chain. Truly, this Pinoy success story, that’s created a big buzz, warms the heart. And guaranteed to warm the tummy are its best-selling and very affordable Yumburgers (really cheap but truly tasty and beefy at only P25), crispylicious Chickenjoy that you’ll enjoy, Jolly good Spaghetti, and a lot more “langhap-sarap” products developed through rigorous scientific methods and state-of-the-art technology.

Isn’t that bee-utiful?

2. Chowking

Literally, this restaurant is the king of chow — food that’s meant to delight both the heartstrings and the pursestrings. Why, at Chowking, you can have a meal fit for a king on a commoner’s budget! Among its top sellers are the chicken lauriat (only P132), a combination of fried chicken, siomai, rice, pancit, buchi, chicharap in one generous plate; beef wanton (P89), a really satisfying steaming-hot treat for people craving great noodles with chunks of tender beef and wanton, and a special beef sauce; and pork chao fan (P39), deliciously filling mixed fried rice with marinated pork bits and the signature Chowking Chinese bagoong.

Today, Chowking has 383 outlets nationwide. For delivery, call 702-8888.

3. McDonald’s

Here’s where the beef is — at McDonald’s 277 stores nationwide (call only one number for delivery: 86236MCDO). Say “Cheese!” And say it with McDo burgers that have gotten even beefier. McDo also gets “cheesier” with its ongoing ultimate cheeseburger promo. If the cheeseburger is not beefy enough for you, double the treat with the double cheeseburger that’s got two layers of 100-percent pure beef patty and American cheese with choice ingredients in a soft bun. For a touch of green on your burger, there’s the cheeseburger de luxe (100-percent pure beef patty with American cheese, crisp vegetables, and special dressing in a soft bun) or the double cheeseburger de luxe (two layers of 100-percent pure beef patty and American cheese with crisp vegetables and special dressing in a soft bun).

So, what are you waiting for? Pa-cheeseburger ka naman!
