Welcome to Foodie Finds! This is an article series by Tatler, chronicling where and what to order according to the food-obsessed

I myself have never understood non-foodies. How can one not love flavours, spices, aromas and all the cultural nuances and memories that come with every bite? Dining is an experience meant to be savoured and is even more fun when shared with loved ones. Dining around a table means sharing, conversing, bonding and learning. 

A dish can tell you so much about a person, a culture, and a country. It speaks volumes of a nation's history and is an art form on its own. Skilled hands are trained over years or are born out of pure passion and practice. Professional chefs and home cooks alike, from young stars to grandmothers, have been cooking up meals filled with emotion and have truly made us foodies, happy.

Through Foodie Finds, we ask our epicurean friends to share their favourites. In this feature, we tackle takeout and delivery. Hear what social media personality, entrepreneur, and interior design aficionado Cat Arambulo has to say. Take a look at some of her go-to shops for takeout.

1. Kim King's Kitchen

@kimkingskitchen

I started ordering from Kim because I was intrigued with her bone broth cleanse but then explored everything else on her menu. I'm a frequent customer because they use healthy ingredients and make me feel guilt-free.

Favourites: Collagen broth, shepherd's pie, skinny lace cookies

2. Caviar Cake Manila

@caviarcakemanila

I started ordering from them after I was gifted with a well presented massive caviar cake from Dr. Kong. I love them because they make really good caviar pies plus they have elegant packaging so it makes for a great gift too.

Favourite: Family size caviar pie with special salmon on the top and side in a black box.

3. Organics.PH

@organics.philippines

I started ordering from them when I joined "The Baron Method". We buy our day to day meals from them because it's organic, gluten-free, well-sourced, ozeinated and all the ingredients they use are baron method approved.

Favourites: Sourced organic cookie dough, sourced bread buns, The Butchery marinated spring chicken with rosemary lemongrass or any of their pre-marinated and ready to cook meals.

 

4. The Corner Pantry

@cornerpantry

I've been ordering from them for years because my kids love almost everything they have too. The meals are perfect for mum's who can't cook, like me. Idiot proof, healthy and tastes good.

Favourites: Hakaw, spinach and shrimp dumpling, mini cheese dogs, s'mores pizza kit, beef yakiniku and their sauces.

7. Taste & Tell Manila

@tasteandtellmnl

I first discovered them during the start of the pandemic during the sushi bake craze. They have the best sushi bake that's not nakakaumay. I love how they've expanded their menu ... still premium and beautifully presented.

Favourites: Scallop and salmon sushi bake, premium sushi collection

8. La Nuova Pasteleria

@lanuovapasteleria

I've been eating here since I was a little girl. My grandparents and parents brought me here all the time. I love them because they've stayed true and have been able to withstand the test of time; it is the same nostalgic menu!

Favourites: Tartufo pasta, stuffed mushrooms, salmon bruschetta, quatro formaggi pizza (kids fave) and we usually just get whatever the cake of the day is.
