We Filipinos love to get together with friends or family. There doesn’t even need to be an occasion. Sometimes, we just want to hang out and exchange stories over food and drinks. One of the challenges as a host is what food to serve. It has to tick off three boxes in our mental checklist: it has to be affordable, delicious, and easy to make.
Here’s an idea for your next barkada or family get-together: a make-your-own hotdog bar.
Simply cook hotdogs, set up buns and condiments, and let your guests customize their sandwiches.
Here’s how you can do it:

For this DIY station, we recommend the CDO Idol Cheesedog. It’s made with the perfect blend of meatiness and is filled with creamy cheese bits in every bite. The product is also sulit since it’s sold for only P64 for a 250-gram pack and P183 for a 1-kilogram (bundle) pack. You can buy the CDO Idol Cheesedog in leading supermarkets and the official CDO Shopee and Lazada online stores. Just look for its new, colorful packaging!
Hotdog sandwiches are all about condiments, so make sure you have a lot available. Luckily, you won’t need to buy a lot since most of these are available at home.
Here are our recommendations (feel free to add or remove):
- Seasoned ground beef
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- Mayonnaise
- Barbecue sauce
- Hot sauce or sriracha
- Bacon bits
- Pickles
- Raw onions
- Cooked onions
- Tomatoes
- Pepperoni
- Ham strips
- Kimchi
- Crushed chips
- Salsa
- Pickled papaya
If you want to level up your party, add these items:
- Side of fries
- Side salad
- Sweets
- Drinks
Don’t forget the hotdog buns!
Make sure to try this out in your next handaan at home. Your barkada and family will love it.
