From Bottled Cocktails to Yakult Ice Cream, Here are Our Favorite Local Food Finds on Instagram
Aug 3, 2020 • Kyzia Maramara
One of the few great things about lockdown is that we got to discover that we could get the food we love delivered straight to our doorsteps. And as a bonus, we even get to #SupportLocal by buying from our fellow Pinoys and their delicious business endeavors. During the four months of quarantine, we have each discovered our own favorite food stores which, by now, must be staples in the dining table every month. Spice up your days with exciting meals and treats from our favorite local Instagram stores below.

Chocolate chip cookies are one of the favorite quarantine snacks and Dolce Bella is a great find. What makes them different from other bakers is that they make sure their Chocolate Chunks (P300/box of 6) the perfect size, texture, and loaded with just the right amount of chocolate. It tastes amazing when you bite into a cookie! We’d beg for the recipe but we might not have the ability to replicate this.
