Foodies are in for a savory treat with Ministop’s Spam Onion Kariman

During our overnight stay at the Tune Hotel-Quezon City two months ago for a hotel review, I came across another food discovery as we were searching for a decent breakfast since the said hotel accommodation didn't include meals on it. Luckily, Ministop, one of the country's leading and fastest-growing 24/7 convenience store chains was located nearby. Ministop's best-selling Kariman is a personal favorite . I was happy to learn that they are now offering a twist on Filipinos' classic favorite Spam by introducing the Spam Onion Kariman. So instead of getting my usual pizza-flavored Kariman, I bought myself their Spam Onion Kariman curious on what it tastes like. True enough, it did not disappoint me. I had enjoyed it so much. 

The Spam Onion Kariman is made with soft crumbed Kariman bread with Spam bits, caramelized onions, and cheese filling, cooked to crisp crusted golden-brown perfection. Honestly, I'm not really a fan of Spam (although I know that most Filipinos are), but eating this Spam Onion Kariman from Ministop was indeed a sure treat for me. I remember going back to our hotel room with a smile on my face as I munched on the Spam Onion Kariman. It had that somewhat sweet taste due to the caramelized onion and that huge Spam meat flavor that most Pinoys loved. In fact, Ministop's Spam Onion Kariman made me think twice about my abhorrence with Spam. I'd love to eat Spam Onion Kariman again anytime! And for only Php26 per piece, it's enough to fill your tummies. It's perfect for people-on-the-go and those who lead a rather fast-paced lifestyle who wants to satiate their hunger. 

Get your hands on a Spam Onion Kariman for only P26 to get your quick fix of sweet, meaty, and cheesy Kariman goodness. Available at all Ministop branches nationwide.

MINISTOP Philippines: 14 years of quality, convenience service and counting

In December of 2000, the Japan-based convenience store chain MINISTOP made its way to the country.  It was brought to the Philippines by Robinsons Retail Holdings, Inc. in partnership with MINISTOP Japan and Mitsubishi Corporation.  Its goal was to answer the needs of Filipinos for quality products they can get on-the-go.

Fourteen years later, MINISTOP has served millions of Filipinos as it continues to expand its network of stores all over the Metro, having recently celebrated the opening of its 400th store at the Trion Towers in Bonifacio Global City. The 24-hour chain is committed to ensuring fast and efficient service at all times in efforts to provide affordable food and beverage choices to its customers. Apart from a wide assortment of goods featuring local and international brands, MINISTOP carries an extensive selection of ready-to-eat meals, the first convenience store to do so in the Philippines. Adapting to the evolving demands of its market, MINISTOP has introduced all-time favorites like the Soft Serve Ice Cream, Chillz, Kariman Sandwich and the top-selling Uncle John’s Fried Chicken.

One of the top players in the C-store industry, MINISTOP owes much of its success to customer-focused management as exemplified by its hard-working and loyal franchisees. The chain’s franchising packages offer opportunities for more Filipinos to flourish in the franchising industry through full marketing activities, consistent store operations support and solid operational services. “With our profit sharing model, our franchisees enjoy the advantage of earning more as they sell more,” says MINISTOP General Manager Roena Sarte. “A success rate of 90% is guaranteed for aspiring MINISTOP franchisees, as long as they have the passion, drive and the entrepreneurial mindset to supervise a 24/7 retail operation,” she adds.
