MANILA, Philippines – While many fast-food chains and restaurants are opening their doors again – allowing pick-ups or deliveries – not everyone could avail of what many would consider a luxury in this time of pandemic.

Filipinos are thus looking for ways to fix their fast food cravings during the extended lockdown,  including recreating their faves from the comfort of their own kitchens.

Recipes, how-to’s, and life hacks now proliferate on Facebook, such as the Quarantine Tribute Tips (an “adulting” group dedicated to crowdsource and help fellow “tributes” who are sent out by their families to do groceries) and What’s your ulam, pare? (a group where members can share their “daily food experiences”).

Here are some of our favorite DIY versions of popular fast food.
