In the world of the Filipino hustle, finding a snack that hits the spot without draining your wallet is the ultimate “rare win.” Whether you’re fueling up for a late-night gaming session or powering through a deadline, Payless XTRA BIG has officially added a new heavyweight to its lineup: Chili Cheese.
Inspired by the global trend of pairing heat with dairy, this new variant is designed to be the “Cheesy-Anghang Sarap” experience that proves indulgence doesn’t have to come with a premium price tag.

The magic of the Chili Cheese variant lies in its balance. It’s not just about the spice; it’s about the synergy:
- The Heat: A “swabeng anghang” (smooth heat) from chili that provides a kick without overpowering the palate.
- The Richness: Authentic “linamnam” from cheddar cheese that coats the noodles in a savory, creamy finish.
- The Size: Staying true to the “XTRA BIG” promise, each pack comes in a generous 128g serving—perfect for those who need a meal that actually fills the gap.
At a suggested retail price of just ₱17.75, Payless is making high-concept flavor pairings accessible to everyone. It’s a budget-friendly way to tap into viral international tastes without the “import” price.

Beyond the new Chili Cheese, the XTRA BIG family continues to offer its classic heavy-hitters:
- Xtra Hot & Sweet & Spicy
- Kalamansi & Chilimansi
- Original
The Payless XTRA BIG Chili Cheese is now rolling out in sari-sari stores, convenience stores, and supermarkets nationwide. It’s the new go-to for anyone looking for more—more flavor, more noodles, and more value.
