The order-in Noche Buena

No time to cook a Christmas feast? Ayala Malls has you covered.

Here’s a (potentially) shocking piece of news for you: Christmas is only a few days away. It’s hard to believe we can lose track of the biggest holiday of the year, but hey, worse things have happened in 2020.

Now, if you don’t have the time to go grocery shopping, prepare a whole feast, and then send it out to your loved ones, the order-in method is just as equally thoughtful and delicious — plus, you can send it out straight from the restaurant.

To make your life a little bit easier, we’ve prepared a list of Ayala Malls restaurants from which you can assemble your order-in Noche Buena. Get ready to dig in.

Cafe Mary Grace

There’s just something that makes Cafe Mary Grace feel like Christmas all year. Maybe it’s the homey vibe, the warm ensaymada, or the rich pasta dishes. But the one you have to get for your Noche Buena is the carrot cake — it’s simply *chef’s kiss*.

Rico’s Lechon

You’d be remiss to not think about having lechon for your Noche Buena. Considering the year we’ve had, it’s all the more reason to just go all out. And nothing beats the Cebuano icon Rico’s Lechon.

Cibo

Every Noche Buena spread requires a little bit (okay, maybe a lot) of carbs. Cibo’s menu is full of exactly that, and you won’t go wrong ordering any of their pizza or pasta dishes. Don’t forget to get the Spinach Dip for a great antipasti.

Barcino

Nothing makes for a great Noche Buena party than a few bottles of wine, and Barcino is the perfect place to pick some up. They’ve got pretty great food, too — consider their selection of paella for a festive spread.

Manam

Manam is basically synonymous with its famous watermelon sinigang, but their University Fried Rice deserves just as much recognition. It’s a meal in and of itself, and is a great addition for a Noche Buena that’s meant to feed an army.

Mamou

If you’re in the mood for a truly decadent Noche Buena, Mamou will give it to you straight up. Order any of their signature steaks for a juicy Christmas salubong, and their Truffle Cream pasta that feels just like a warm and silky hug.
