HeyBo celebrates first anniversary in PHL
THIS August, HeyBo celebrates its first year in the Philippines. HeyBo, created by the same team behind SaladStop! in Singapore, is known for its grain bowls. To mark this first-year milestone, HeyBo announced the upcoming opening of its second store at One Ayala in Makati City. At the heart of HeyBo’s popularity is the Build-Your-Bo! option, where diners can create a bowl that’s uniquely theirs. Customers can start with a base, add a protein, select three sides, garnish it up, pick a dip, and top it off with a sauce. Whether it’s the zest of Spiced Black Beans with tangy Tomato Salad or the crunch of Oriental Cabbage Salad with savory Grilled Mushrooms, each bowl promises a blend of flavors. For a quick snack, HeyBo introduces its baos. These include the Mexican Bao, featuring a zesty Mexican vegan patty, and the Chicken Bao, made with a tender and savory chicken patty. In celebration of their first anniversary, HeyBo is offering a week of exclusive promotions. From Aug. 14-18, diners can enjoy a special treat with every Build-Your-Bo! order for dine-in, takeaway, and delivery. For in-store orders, customers get a freebie for each day: a P100 gift card, a free combo upgrade (Sweet Potato Fries or Chips n’ Dip), free soda, free ice cream, and a free bao respectively. For delivery orders, customers can get a free combo upgrade (Sweet Potato Fries or Chips n’ Dip) for the full duration of the promo.
