With the new store comes a new way or ordering your favorite chicken, ribs, and pasta dishes from Peri-Peri. Aside from the usual dine-in and take-out options, the MCU Caloocan branch comes with a very convenient Park and Order feature. Guests can just drive and park their cars at the spacious Park and Dine areas then proceed to place their orders at the terminal, similar to a drive-thru.

This means that you can order your favorite items and have them delivered straight to your car, hot and fresh. You can then eat right inside your car, just like you were dining inside the restaurant. It’s safe, it’s convenient, and it’s a great option for those who are not yet fully ready for dine-in.

The new MCU Caloocan branch also sports a more colorful and upbeat look. Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken celebrates the vibrant local art community through sustainable partnerships with homegrown talents, showcasing their work and creations in their restaurants. This is the first wall art installation they created which you can find here beside the Park and Dine area. Selfies for yourself and even for your cars are welcome.

They also have an exclusive pick-up window for delivery riders and for carry-out orders. The MCU Caloocan branch was really built with the pandemic in mind so everything has been designed for safety and convenience.

For those who are willing to dine-in, the 183 square meter branch is also a great attraction. It comes with the distinct and festive Portuguese ambiance and theme that you can find in all other Peri-Peri branches.

For now, only fully vaccinated guests are allowed to dine in based on the most recent IATF guidelines. The maximum seating capacity has also been increased while still maintaining the proper social distancing measures.

As for me, I decided to give the Park and Dine feature a try so I’m staying right inside my car. The staff will even disinfect your hands before they serve your orders.

My order was delivered straight to the car after just 15 minutes. We ordered the Signature Peri Grupo (P1,099) which is what we usually have delivered to the house.

This family set is good for up to four persons and comes with 1 Whole Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken (choice of Classic or Picante), 1 Carbonara To Share, 1 Sebastian Salad, 4 Regular Sides, 4 Java Rice, and a 1.5L Coke. Best of all, you can get all of these for only P1,099 with a huge savings of P581 from its regular price.

I wasn’t planning on eating everything in the car, but I was already quite hungry so I couldn’t wait to start with the carbonara. This one is for sharing, so don’t worry, I left some for my husband.

The Peri Grupo also comes with an order of Sebastian Salad with its crunchy greens topped with egg, tomatoes, kani, and dressing.

The main attraction of the Peri Grupo set is their signature Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken. This whole classic chicken is marinated overnight in a special concoction of peri-peri chili, herbs, and spices then charcoal grilled.

It also includes four servings of java rice plus a medley of sauces to choose from. This set is really perfect for sharing with the entire family.

The term “peri-peri” actually comes from an African bird’s eye chili called piri-piri which releases a fiery spice and helps create a wealth of flavors in every dish. Peri-Peri chicken traces its roots from Portuguese origins but this has been tweaked a little bit to satisfy the Filipino palate. It’s not as spicy and fiery as its original version, but you can customize your experience with a variety of their signature sauces.

Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken comes with eight signature sauces from mildly sweet and tangy, to wildly smokey, and to flaming spicy. You can mix and match each of the sauces to create your own flavor adventure.

The Peri Grupo also comes with 4 regular side dishes. We chose coleslaw, mashed potato, corn and carrots, plus baked mac and cheese. This promotion was only available until September 30, 2021 but I do hope they offer it again soon.

We added a few more items to complete our Park and Dine order. The Salted Egg Crispy Chicken Skin (P275-to share) is a great appetizer to munch on in the car or at home. We also ordered the Peri BBQ Back Ribs (P692-half) with its smoky and flavorful pork ribs doused in their signature barbecue sauce.

I even got a FREE SuperCard Classic with my Signature Peri Grupo! This card entitles me to big discounts and free items at all Peri-Peri and Shakey’s branches for one whole year. All these fantastic dishes are available for dine-in, takeout or delivery through their hotline at 7374-7374 (PERI-PERI), their website at www.periperichicken.ph, or through other food delivery apps. Better yet, give their MCU Caloocan branch a visit and experience the new Park and Order feature for yourselves.

The Peri Grupo Feast starts with a healthy bowl of Chicken Tenders Salad. I’m not really that much into salads but if it comes with these juicy and crunchy pieces of chicken tenders, then I don’t mind having this for myself. This is a light and friendly appetizer that will prepare you for the more exciting dishes to come.

The set also comes with one Pasta to Share with a choice of Chorizo Bolognese or Carbonara. The pasta is also good enough for up to four persons so everyone can have their share. I liked the generous amounts of cheese on top of my spaghetti bolognese.

The Peri Grupo Feast is available for dine-in, takeout or delivery through their hotline at 7374-7374 (PERI-PERI) or other delivery apps, but if you order using their website at www.periperichicken.ph, you can get FREE Mozzarella Sticks to go with your set. As another added bonus, Shakey’s SuperCard holders also get FREE 4 pieces Peri Natas.

If you want to make your family gatherings even more flavorful, try their newly-launched Peri-Peri Grilled Wings. These are not your ordinary fried chicken wings because they remain juicy, smokey, and tender after grilling. The wings are available in nine different Peri-Peri signature sauces so you will sure find your favorite.

The hot and crackling fire makes Peri-Peri’s new Grilled Wings explode with deliciousness! You can create your own Flavor Adventure ranging from mild, hot, to extra hot chicken wings that are not only charcoal-grilled but seasoned in Peri-Peri’s signature mix.

Choose from 9 different flavors for your Grilled Wings. If you fancy a sweet blend of Asian flavors, try the Special Blend Asian BBQ with that slightly sweet flavor we enjoy. You can also try the Sweet Soy, Hoisin Sesame, Sweet BBQ, or the distinct Mesquite BBQ sauce for that smokey taste with a boost of chili.

Tour your tastebuds to South America with the creamy, tart and subtly-spicy Cajun Remoulade, a very interesting mayonnaise-based sauce.

If you like it spicy, they also have the Chili Peppa, a flavorful hot sauce with the citrus goodness of fresh lemons. On the other hand, if you want a good balance of spiciness, go for the Garlic Brew and Harissa Exotica sauces.

You can enjoy Peri-Peri’s Grilled Wings either Solo at P249 (6 pcs, 1 flavor), Duo at P399 (10 pcs, 2 flavors), or To Share at P599 (16 pcs, 4 flavors). These are also great to munch on while chilling at home while watching Netflix.

Together with our orders from Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken, we also got to try some new variants from R&B Tea. R&B Tea is a milk tea brand from Singapore that seeks to redefine the tea experience today. We often indulge in very sweet and rich milk teas, so R&B’s fresh fruits and all-natural components is a healthy change of pace. R&B places great emphasis on the origins of the tea leaves and delicate preparation to ensure the perfect tea blend.

I tried the Peach Oolong Macchiato Tea, a light and fruity oolong tea infused with peaches topped with a thick later of cheese cream. This is a great beverage to have on a hot and tiring day. The Black Tea Macchiato has a more bold flavor with its black tea capped with cream cheese.

Their new Premium Brewed Tea Series comes with refreshing, bold and robust tea flavors which can be paired with their signature brown sugar pearls. There’s a choice of Black Tea, Jasmine Green Tea or Peach Oolong. You can order R&B Tea at most Shakey’s and Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken branches nationwide, but you can also call for delivery using their hotlines 7777-7777 (Shakey’s) and 7374-7374 (Peri-Peri). Ordering online is another option at www.rbtea.ph and you can also get them using food delivery apps such as GrabFood, Pick.A.Roo and FoodPanda. Now you understand why we had such a great weekend. Enjoy your Peri-Peri and R&B Tea deliveries!
