Whistlestop by Quick Delivery
A few weeks ago, Mel and I got some take out food courtesy of Quick Delivery. Out of their 90 partner restaurants, I made an order at Whistlestop. It's been a really long time since I last ate there so I had no idea what to order. We ordered just in time for dinnertime!
As Mel logged into Quick Delivery's website to check out the menu of Whistlestop, we stumbled upon their online ordering system. The last tab, the "Order Now" tab showed us all the restaurants Quick Delivery caters to.
We first ordered the Pasta ala Pobre by simply clicking on its name on the list. Every time you click on a food item, the window above will show up. From there, it's easy to indicate the quantity of that food item you want, add-ons you want included, and other notes you want.
After a few minutes upon placing my order, my phone rang. The number indicated on my profile was my landline number at house but they seemed to know my cellphone number so they called me on my mobile instead. They should have implemented a way wherein every time you put in a new location, you are asked to input the landline of that location as well.
The Pasta ala Pobre was probably my least favorite of the lot. I'm not sure how it's supposed to taste like but it tasted a bit odd to me. The flavor didn't seem to marinated well into the pasta.
Definitely worth it was the Beef Salpicao with the big serving. It was simply delightful. The tenderness of the beef was just right.
Take advantage of QD's Rewards program! Every P1.00 worth of delivery purchase will give you one (1) point. Once you have sufficient point, you can convert it into GCs
- 10,000 POINTS= Php250.00 Quick Delivery digital gift certificate
- 20,000 POINTS= Php550.00 Quick Delivery digital gift certificate
- 40,000 POINTS = Php1,100.00 Quick Delivery digital gift certificate
