Honestbee is Asia’s leading online concierge and delivery service which lets us shop for groceries and order from restaurants in the comforts of our own homes. It was launched in the Philippines in 2017 and brings in a great concept of delivering not just food and restaurant items, but also lets us shop from leading supermarkets and groceries in the city. An early Christmas gathering was held recently at The Blue Leaf Events Place in McKinley Hill to showcase some of the restaurants, dessert establishments, and retail stores that can be ordered from using honestbee.

Ordering is so easy. Simply download the honestbee app for FREE on the App Store for IOS or on the Google Play Store for Andriod phones. The app offers an all-in-one, easy-to-use platform as it gathers all the best products around in one marketplace. There are many different supermarkets, drugstores, and restaurants available which you can easily access through your phones.

Some of the featured partner establishments this Christmas season include Rolls Republic with their Pinoy-style rolls, maki, and sushi. Stickz Asian BBQ also offers a variety of barbecues to make your life in the kitchen easier.

You can have a Chinese lauriat right inside your home just by ordering from Wu’s Kitchen with their selection of roasting and dimsum. The Roasted Peking Duck or the Roasted Sucling Pig will always be a nice centerpiece.

Even Cyma Greek Taverna is included in the list of restaurants available with the honestbee app. Their Chicken Sovlaki makes for a good starter or main dish for your party.

There are also smaller food purveyors which you can discover with honestbee. Enjoy classic recipes from Aling Banang which was first put up by Urbana Silva Santiago in the 1930s. This small family-owned restaurant now operates 15 branches which are managed by the family’s third generation.

I had my first dining experience at Old Swiss Inn just a few weeks ago and I really liked their Slow Roasted Beef Belly. No need to go to Makati because honestbee will deliver this straight to your homes. This will really make your guests happy with its tender and juicy beef slices.

Do you know that you can order a whole lechon with just a few taps on your phone? Honestbee let’s you easily order one whole pig from General’s Lechon and other lechon restaurants in the city.

Turn your dining area into a haven of deserts as honestbee has also partnered with the Philippine Daily Inquirer’s Best Desserts. These are some of the best dessert makers offering a wide selection of pies, cookies, crepes, cakes, chocolates. Cuerva Bakeshop has a very tempting Mango Torte all ready for everyone.

You can also have these luscious chocolate bars from Nic’s Savories and Pastries ready for serving without having to leave the house. Other options include warm and delicious bibingka form Bibingka Stop, while Aging’s Food Delight has their Suman Cake and Pastillas Cake.

Marie Bakery and Cafe offers their unique Pistachio Cheesecake which is a combination I have not seen before. You can find so many other interesting desserts available just by browsing through the app.

Fog City Creamery features Filipino-flavored ice cream such as Ensaymada, Leche Flan, Calamansi, and more. Karabella also offers ice cream made from Carabao’s milk which come in flavors such as Ube Halaya and Tablea Chocolate.

You can also order Christmas gift baskets from supermarkets in the metro. Aside from S&R Membership Shopping, which I always ordered from after my recent surgery (Read: Honestbee Now Lets You Buy Groceries From S&R Membership), honestbee also lets you purchase Christmas baskets and goodies from Robinsons Supermarket and Marketplace by Rustan’s. 

I love using different oils for my body and one of my favorite brands in Human Nature with their Sunflower beauty oil. I’m happy to see that I can now order these through honestbee as well.

Still don’t have gifts for your godchildren? Do your Christmas shopping through honestbee and buy toys from Hobbes and Landes, Plush & Play, Shop Central, and Hamley’s which is oldest and largest toy shop in the world.

Christmas is definitely more convenient as long as we have honestbee to help us with our shopping and delivery needs. Now we have more time to enjoy with the family and less time toiling in the kitchens or being stuck in traffic. So download the app now and let your fingers do the work!

A special media event was held last August 1, 2018 at the Manila House Private Members Club to announce this new partnership between honestbee and S&R Membership. I have been an S&R member ever since I discovered its endless aisles of local and imported goods, including its picture perfect home renovation products (Read: My Picture Perfect Home at the S&R Members’ Treat ). The pretty Xandra Rocha-Araneta hosted the intimate event that showed how honestbee makes life so much easier at home and in the kitchen.

Guests were presented with a four-course lunch using ingredients that can all be ordered from S&R Membership through the honestbee app or website. This included a salad and soup dish with a juicy roasted chicken as the main course and a slice of apple pie with vanilla ice cream for dessert. Honestbee users can also order S&R’s famous New York-style pizza, chicken and churros for delivery.

With the help of the very cute honestbee mascot, Ms. Xandra demonstrated to the audience how ordering through the honestbee app is so easy and convenient. With just a few touches on your phone, you can expect your orders to arrive at your house in no time.

Aside from preparing a set of delicious snacks, Ms. Xandra also showed how to create a refreshing cocktail for your guests using items from S&R Membership Shopping.

Now we don’t need to fight the never ending traffic to visit our favorite S&R Membership outlet for our kitchen and household needs. Honestbee does all the work for us for just a small convenience and delivery fee. 

Since I will be stuck at home for the next few weeks, this is the perfect opportunity to use the honestbee app for my groceries.

Ordering is so easy. Simply download the honestbee app for FREE on the App Store for IOS or on the Google Play Store for Andriod phones. The app offers an all-in-one, easy-to-use platform as it gathers all the best products around in one marketplace. There are many different supermarkets, drugstores, and restaurants available which you can easily access through your phones.

The biggest advantage of using the honestbee app is that you don’t even have to be an S&R member to order. S&R Membership charges an annual membership fee for its shoppers. Honestbee users can enter their S&R membership number on the app to get same-store prices on all items, but for non-members, you will just have to pay an extra 5% surcharge on top of your orders.

Honestbee has special in-store concierge shopper bees at nine S&R branches around the metro to cater to all of your orders. They carefully handpick your desired items and make sure they are in good condition and with suitable expiration dates. The products are then properly packed and transported straight to your address. 

There are no other hidden fees when you shop using honestbee. Once you finish putting orders in your virtual cart, you can easily see your total price with an added concierge fee of P120 plus a delivery fee of P99. 

Depending on the time you place your order, expect your groceries to arrive in just around 3-4 hours. The expected delivery time is indicated clearly on top of the screen so you can schedule it properly. My package even came earlier than what was indicated, and its progress can also be easily tracked through the app.

Aside from the app, you can also order using their website if you prefer to use your laptop or desktop computers. Here’s another bonus, get a P500 discount off your first order of at least P2500 when you use this special link (Click here to register). There are just so many reasons to start using the honestbee app, but I’m just happy I found out about this helpful bee right when I need it the most. Thank you honestbee!
