Bacolod’s Smiles Come With A Side Of Flavor This MassKara
foodpanda celebrates Bacolod’s rich food culture and homegrown culinary heroes this festival season.
Known for colorful masks and lively street dances, MassKara Festival brings people together, and no celebration is complete without food. Locals and visitors can enjoy Bacolod’s vibrant dining scene during the festivities with foodpanda.
Through its Panda Plates storytelling campaign, the company highlights local culinary heroes and delivers their signature dishes straight to customers — whether for home celebrations, gatherings, or festival breaks.
“MassKara brings people together, and it’s also an opportunity for local businesses to reach new customers,” said Patricia Jacinto, Director for Growth and Marketing at foodpanda Philippines. “For many homegrown restaurants, being discovered by someone who hasn’t tried their food before can be an important step toward growing their business. We want to help more Bacolod food businesses turn that discovery into lasting customer relationships, long after the festival ends.”
Fire Up the Feast
Bacolod is known for its chicken inasal and other grilled favorites, making them staples at local gatherings and celebrations. At Ribshack, diners can enjoy this local staple alongside tender spare ribs and signature barbecue favorites, while Brylles Fried and Grill offers its own take on chicken inasal, pork barbecue, and other grilled crowd-pleasers perfect for sharing with family and friends.
For another taste of local tradition, Pat-Pat’s Kansi House serves its signature kansi, a comforting beef shank and bone marrow soup made sour with batwan, alongside its sizzling version.
