Epic boodle fights you and your family can order for delivery

Boodle fights are a good way to bond with your loved ones.

I used to find them too messy to enjoy until I experienced one for myself at a laid-back restaurant in San Juan, La Union. The joy of savoring ihaw-ihaw delights with my bare hands and sharing them with the people I hold dear was something else—it made the experience more fun and, for some reason, even doubled the goodness of the food. 

Looking to delight in a scrumptious feast with your family this weekend? While you can’t do so the way you used to at dining spots due to the COVID-19 situation, there are some food stores offering inihaw group platters for delivery. Scroll down for a list of grilled sets you might like. 

If you have a small family, Kapitan Gimmo’s Surf n’ Turf bundle (P1,600) could be your best bet. Good for four pax, each order has a delicious mix of seafood and meat served with four cups of rice as well as a bottle of soft drinks. 

You may bond over this barkada boodle by Chickey’s Inasal (P1,250/good for 6-8 pax), which has chicken inasal, liempo, garlic rice, achara, salted egg, sauce trio, calamansi, and chili pepper. What I like about this is it’s available in two options: Mas Chicken and Mas Liempo. 

Another affordable option good for big families is Passenger Seat. Its Wow Philippines bundle priced at P2,799 is worth every penny. Among the grilled eats included in the set are chicken inasal, buttered shrimp, grilled liempo, lechon kawali, beef kare-kare, BBQ, daing na bangus, grilled stuff squid, shanghai, sinigang sa ulo ng salmon sa miso, sisig, laing, boiled okra, and fried eggplant. Talk about an incredible variety! 

In the mood for seafood? Dampa Express is offering a boodle fight set good for 10-12 pax. It’s quite pricey (P6,388), but trust me, it could be the answer to all your seafood cravings. Each order comes with mixed crabs, shrimp baked tahong, crispy pata, adobong pusit, grilled tilapia, halaan in ginger soup, salted egg, veggies, bananas, and rice.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
