Starting a business during the pandemic isn’t as easy as it seems, but these five new local businesses were successful as they took on the risk to make sure they satisfy our cravings. Some of them started their business while they were students. Here are the new food businesses you might want to try!
1. The Fried Chicken Ice Cream
Oooh, la la! The Fried Chicken Ice Cream is perfect for the hot weather in the Philippines. It looks like a tasty fried chicken drumstick, but it’s actually a waffle filled with vanilla ice cream.

2. Baked by Trimy Banawe
Are you looking for a Korean-inspired aesthetic cafe? Baked by Trimy Banawe has all the snacks and desserts you need. You name it–pastries, lattes, and cakes, they have it.
