7 Best Food Places for your Midnight Cravings

Just got out from your OT? Or simply craving for some delicious treats during wee hours? Worry no more because we’ve got you covered!

We usually get cravings like pizza, chicken, or desserts by bingeing that one Youtube channel full of mukbang challenges late at night, those kdramas you can’t keep your eyes off or those animes in its 200^th episode. Now what? Stay hungry and sleep? No way!

Here’s a list of your must-go-to places when everyone’s asleep and you want to sneak out for a quick food fix:

1. Migag Unli Samgyeopsal at APM Mall

Samgyeopsal has been our favorite, go-to food to satisfy our big appetite. Eat-all-you-can meat, grilling and unlimited chikkahan never sound this good at dawn. The famous Migag Unli Samgyeopsal at APM Mall (across SM City Cebu) is open until 5AM.
