Weekend Walks + Grocery Shopping at 7-Eleven

I am enjoying our weekly walks going to Banawe, Quezon City. Because we cannot visit our family, travel or even dine-in our favorite restaurant, our weekly walks have become like a "breather" for us ever since this pandemic began. Although it's becoming a routine, we enjoyed it anyway.

7-Eleven store in Banawe, Quezon City

Every time we go out for walks, we make sure to go to the nearest 7-Eleven. We love ordering their frozen siopao, 1-2 packs of siopao good for two weeks. Recently, we were looking for their newest offerings which I saw on their page, the HottaUlam! These are ready-to-heat viands at an affordable price.

Officially launched late last year, the various HottaUlam! selections are now for sale in over 2,000 stores in Luzon. Customers can choose from any of the eight HottaUlam! These are single-serve variants to take home.

You can choose from Rico’s Lechon Binagoongan, Rico’s Lechon Sisig, Pork Laing, two sticks of Pork BBQ, Chicken BBQ, Fried Bangus, Pinakbet, and Ginataang Langka. 7-Eleven's HottaUlam! are affordable and sulit at Php55 to Php79 per pack.

Larger servings for families and friends are available as well. Ready-to-heat lutong bahay viands such as Pork Steak, Chicken Curry, and Beef Caldereta are priced at Php159 each and are good for two to three pax. Baliwag Liempo or Lechon Manok are also available at Php115 each. These no-cook, easy-to-prepare #My711HottaUlam meals are the best choice for individuals and families who have a limited budget to spend and no time to spare. Because of the ongoing pandemic, many families experience the struggle of balancing work and life at home. Being the friendly neighborhood convenience store 7-Eleven is, it hopes to alleviate some of the burden through these convenient and affordable products.

7-Eleven has always been about making lives easier for the community, moreso during the pandemic when it launched the Bayanihan Savings and Selections initiative, which was to make grocery items available at more affordable prices.

We ran out of HottaUlam at the nearest 7-Eleven. I guess they were sold out immediately. I'm happy there's HottaRice, same with HottaUlam but this one comes with rice (P65 and P75 each).
