It’s been a month since the enhanced community quarantine was implemented and you’ve probably already realized that your initial thought of using this time to recharge is a no go.
We used to think staying home for weeks would give us enough time to take on creative projects, revisit old hobbies, tick off all pending tasks on our to-do list, and the like. But with all the household chores, cooking, and homeschooling for those who have children, we’re lucky if we can actually set aside a few hours for some “me” time.
Though self-isolation has definitely fueled a ton of online cook-alongs encouraging us to expand our culinary repertoire (yes, people are baking bread like crazy) and food trends (no, I have not tried making Dalgona coffee), there comes a time when you should hang up your apron and leave the cooking to the professionals.
Here, we’ve gathered a comprehensive list of restaurants (and food delivery apps) to get you through mealtime without breaking a sweat. Watch this space for regular updates!
