Can’t Cook? #DontCook! – Feasting Made Easy with #Foodpanda’s Scrumptious Deals

‘Tis the season of festivities, family get-togethers, and parties with your favorite people and you know what that means? That entails a celebration of good times and cheer which can never be deemed complete without a gift of delicious food!

Be it a Christmas celebration with your best chums, a soiree during the winter semester break, a coffee klatch on a cozy night or a visit by your distant family relative during vacations, these are the times when you’d want good food being quickly made and readily available on the table! But then, there will be times when the laziness would reign and you wouldn’t want to cook!

For people like myself who often #DontCook food (unless they are being bribed by love), they eventually find themselves relying upon ordering food from an eatery while planning for a party. And that is how I discovered these amazing deals being available for ordering through the foodpanda app.
  

Celebrating the #BestOf2016 this year, foodpanda Pakistan has been offering up to 80% discount on more than 200 restaurants nationwide from Dec 23^rd – Dec 25^th, thus bringing one of the biggest-ever discounts of the year on our culinary favorites.  The entire list of discounts being offered on food outlets in Karachi can be found here.

With the amazing discounts available at hand, treating friends to a luncheon or a dinner just got better, easier and so affordable! Guess it’ll be a right thing to say that foodpanda Pakistan has featured deals for almost every budget.

Following are the few more reasons behind opting for ordering food through foodpanda app:

Variety is the spice of life, they say!

One could find a long list of fast-food outlets and restaurants being located in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad that were offering up to 80% discount on their food items. From the cheesy and saucy burgers and pizzas to delectable desserts, foodpanda Pakistan had deals for all giving you the reason to not to cook, sit back, relax and enjoy this weekend!

#ServisShoes: New Summer Collection for All Walks of Life

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a pair of fabulous shoes.”

Setting out in search of your perfect sole, you come across several creations – each one depicting its own style and story. The quest is no less than a fairy-tale where you get to pick and choose the right one according to your choice and taste so that you could live in those shoes happily ever after.

With summers around the corner and shoe fetish blooming in heart, I have also been on a challenging quest of finding the right fit until I found Liza, which is one of the signature lines of Servis Shoes.

One of the Pakistan’s leading footwear brands, Servis, has recently launched its new summer collection including their signature lines Ndure, Liza and ToZ – and which are now available at their stores across Pakistan. This newly-launched collection can be one of the most suitable options for those seeking a blend of trend and comfort in their perfect sole-mate during summers.

The new collection has been launched by the brand, with a TVC campaign titled “Servis Shoes: Utaarney Ka Scene Hi Nahi”. The TVC shows various hip and youthful individuals in situations where one would take their shoes off, but in this case, they are so madly in love with their Servis shoes that shoe owners don’t take the shoes off – and are seen wearing the shoes to bed, while swimming and even while taking a bath!  

Ever witnessed such true love, eh? Have a look!

Mobilink 3G Takes a Lead with #TheFasterTheBetter Services

Living in a fast-paced world where speed and convenience have become increasingly important in our various walks of life, the quintessential need for high-speed and super connectivity has also arisen. In today’s technology-driven world revolving around smartphones and tablets, we always feel the need to be inter-connected throughout the day and being separated from the device or being out of connection even for a minute is just a crippling thought! And this reminds me of my tour to Gaddani once where the cellular signals just went off all of a sudden except for the Mobilink network that worked, thus saving me from the brunt of an anticipated wrath.

It was since then that Mobilink became my most preferred choice amongst the cellular connections and the news revealing Mobilink as Pakistan’s best 3G network provider (as declared by PTA) did not come as a surprise. Because it was as true as a fact already!

Pakistan's Best 3G NetworkWe’re proud to announce that PTA has declared Mobilink to be Pakistan's Best 3G Network. Thank you for your constant support and trust throughout our journey of 20 years. We couldn’t have done it without you!

When it comes to an effective and reliable cellular connection, it’s not just the extensive reach or stable connectivity that counts. With cellular phones turning into more than just phones running on the Internet, a lot depends upon the speed of connectivity that truly defines one’s experience in the digital/mobile world. This is where Mobilink 3G network has taken a lead by bringing #TheFasterTheBetter services for its consumers and conquering #HarDilHarDin (being validated by the following tweets) as it continues its digital journey:

FoodPanda iDonate - Click,Vote & Earn!

“Never think that what you have to offer is insignificant. There will always be someone out there who needs what you have to give.”

The holy month of Ramadan is not just a religious ritual but a comprehensive training module being provided with immense wisdom, capable of transforming an individual’s personal and social life. Amongst its various tenets of wisdom, one of the most important ones is the element of compassion and the art of giving. Bringing these two elements together this time around, FoodPanda, one of the leading global online food ordering platforms, has initiated a campaign titled, “FoodPanda iDonate.” With a purpose of giving back to the society and helping alleviate the prevailing hunger crisis, the philanthropic campaign invites individuals to interact on their social media pages and give their consent in donation of the staple food items.

While the good people at FoodPanda will be donating these items and there are no transactions being involved on your part, all it takes is just a single vote that would not only help you feed the starving lot but will let you earn rewards in the form of a good deed!

In order to participate in the FoodPanda iDonate campaign, all you need to do is pick a staple food item of your choice (options including Rice, Daal, Flour or Sugar) and write it under the comments section on either of their social media pages including Facebook, Twitter & Instagram. FoodPanda team will then be distributing these to Edhi Foundation and SaylaniWelfare Trust. It couldn’t have been easier than this, isn’t it?

Another way of contributing to the campaign is to spread a word about it in your social circle and ask your friends to vote, which can be done from anywhere and anytime – and this again won’t cost you anything.

FoodPanda iDonate has provided one of the quickest and the easiest ways of contributing to the greater good in the #monthofblessings proving once again that #foodpandacares for its people. Through this campaign, FoodPanda is not only helping and feeding the ones who are a little less fortunate but it is also helping us to do our little bits of good that can make a huge difference. Here’s how I have done it:

You can do it too!

“Now won't you give some bread to get the starving fed?”
