No celebration is complete without spaghetti whether it is birthdays or holidays. If you want to switch it up a little this year, we recommend going for Doña Mila’s baked lasagna. It is owned by mother and son duo Mila and Derrence, who bake the lasagnas in their own home.

They only make the lasagnas upon ordering to ensure freshness and optimum taste with only a 30-minute guarantee preparation time. This means you get to enjoy their sumptuous lasagna on the same day.

If you’re looking for something sweet, they also offer a selection of cakes, with their brazo and chiffon, which they are also famous for. 

A party isn’t a party without those kutkutins otherwise known as papakin, which serves a dual purpose of both pulutan and ulam. It has an unspoken requirement of being easy to eat and can be done so without the use of utensils in case you have your hands full. This crispy kangkong will help brighten up your table.

This is a creative way to include vegetables in your menu without it being overlooked in favor of meatier dishes. In case you need more food options, Food Tray 2 Go offers a vast selection of dishes that includes Filipino favorites such as tokwa’t baboy to Japanese sushi and Korean japchae. 

Our day wouldn’t be complete without a bit of light merienda. If you’re missing out on indulging in a bite of pastry and coffee, you can do it at home. Have some cheese rolls for merienda or breakfast. Buttery & Co is different from your usual cheese rolls. Usually, you’d picture them as these elongated and soft rolls dusted in sugar.

But buttery’s puff is different in the sense that it is flakier and heavier. It is made with their homemade puff pastry, filled with their own cheese mix, and sprinkled with sugar. The result is a flaky and buttery crust with just the right hint of sweetness. If you still have any left, you can toast it for 3-5 minutes to get it crisped up again. 

When we hear the word caviar, we usually associate it as something upscale and expensive, think champagne and caviar. If you want to get a little fancy this Christmas, now’s your chance with Petit À Petit’s caviar pie. Their pie comes in a 5.5 inch sized acrylique box complete with crackers, wooden spreader, and eco bag.

You could get their caviar pie with salmon gravlax if you want to take it a step further. They also offer pre-assorted grazing boxes, which, includes an assortment of cheeses, cold cuts, and crackers along with their truffle honey. But you also have the option to create your own if you wanted to. 

Do you have a thing for wine and cheese nights? La Platteria offers different sized platters from small, which can accommodate 1-3 persons to large platters, which can feed 15-20 people. However, if you want the whole shebang, we recommend their wine and charcuterie platter, which is good for 3-5 persons.

It comes in with their pre-selected cheeses, crackers, charcuterie, fruit, nuts, and some chocolate. There is even a bottle of wine included, which completes the entire package. Each platter also comes with their very own cultured honey. They offer gift box customization ranging from the box to the charcuterie contents.

If you find yourself craving for burnt cheesecake, head on over to The Manila Baker’s Instagram page. Although the cornbread is their flagship product, many flock to their cheesecake. In case you’re wondering what the fuss is about, this cheesecake is considered the antithesis to the New York cheesecake.

It is subjected to high heat, which is what gives it its cracked and burnt appearance. Their cheesecakes are available in 3 flavors; original, strawberry, and chocolate hazelnut. They also make sure to never skimp on ingredients so you don’t have to worry about it tasting tinipid, just superior taste.

A chocolate cake has proved to us time and time again that no matter the latest food trends, it never goes out of style. It has cemented itself as a classic that can stand up to any occasion, as is the case of Critical Baker’s Phat Pat. Whether you are merely looking for a sweet treat or celebrating, this one’s your guy.

The Phat Pat is a delectable hunk of 2-layer chocolate cake enveloped in a rich chocolate caramel ganache that doesn’t taste too sweet, but just right. This is perfect when you are craving for a chocolate fix but don’t want to become too umay. You’ll be happy to know all their cakes do not contain preservatives and are only made upon request.  

Filipino celebrations are often marked by the tell-tale lechon on the table. However, pork belly slabs are a becoming popular option as well. This is practical especially if you are not going to feed a lot of guests. It is also lighter on the budget as well. This way you get to enjoy the essence of it without going overboard.

Porketta Man serves Italian porchetta, which is a boneless pork belly that has been marinated in rosemary, lemon, garlic, and other spices. It is then slow roasted in a charcoal-fired oven for 6 hours. Their belly comes with a salsa verde sauce, which is composed of different herbs and spices. 

Who doesn’t love cinnamon rolls? They are these soft and fluffy pillows filled with scrumptious cinnamon filling. Delightful as they are, these are probably one of the hardest to master to bake by yourself. Elle’s Confectionary makes one mean cinnamon roll. It has that perfect cinnamon to dough ratio.

This is because some rolls can lack that distinct cinnamon taste or can be too overpowering. It is also noted to be so soft, you’d sink your teeth right in. If you want to get creative, try their cinnayum box. It has 6 different flavors, so you get to experience quite the variety in one box.
