MANILA, Philippines — Popeyes is back and has just unveiled its new global restaurant in the country. Popeyes Arcovia City in Pasig is the first branch in the country since the global food chain closed its last branches in Manila in 2007.
The unveiling of the hip and more vibrant restaurant also launched the much-anticipated offerings biscuits, Cajun Fries and the world-famous Popeyes fried chicken. The signature fried chicken is packed with distinct Cajun-inspired flavors from Louisiana, USA.
