Every Filipino will surely agree when we say there are days when you can’t help but crave classic Filipino home-style meals. And back when we could just go outside anytime we wanted to, this wasn’t a struggle at all.
Whenever we thought of having our favorite comfort foods like kare-kare or dinuguan, we could always drop by the supermarket to grab ingredients and then cook and eat to our heart’s content at home. And for those of us who aren’t so kitchen savvy, there was always the option of dining out at our go-to Filipino restaurants.
But, because of our current situation, even those simple things have become a luxury.
And that’s what brings us to our next point: Goldilocks.
Chances are we’ll immediately think of Goldilocks when we’re craving gastronomic lutong-bahay level Pinoy eats because it offers authentic Filipino meals at affordable prices.
Well the good news is Goldilocks just launched an even more convenient and budget-friendly version of their mouthwatering dishes, and they’re becoming our favorites already.
The newest addition to their food shop menu is called the “PinoyDeli Food Selections”, and it is offering a total of six rice meals in ready-to-heat packs. It has Beef Caldereta, Beef Kare-Kare, Boneless Chicken Barbecue with Laing, and Pork Dinuguan, along with Goldilocks’ very own version of the Korean Beef Bulgogi and Chicken Teriyaki.
Here are the juicy details!
The Pinoy Classics
Beef Caldereta
The almost subdued spiciness of its tomato-based sauce is pleasantly complemented by just the right size of tender beef, potato, and carrot cubes. This ready-to-heat Beef Caldereta is rich in flavor, just exactly like how a home-cooked Caldereta would taste.
Beef Kare-Kare
This ready-to-heat Kare-kare’s thick peanut sauce has a delicate sweetness that—when combined with the briny flavor of the bagoong—makes the chewy and succulent beef and vegetables more satisfying to eat.
A few minutes in the microwave is all this dish needs for it to be able to offer you the same creamy texture and rich flavor of a home-cooked Beef Kare-kare. Definitely two thumbs up.
Pork Dinuguan
This Dinuguan is meaty with a light peppery taste but not spicy. But the best thing about it is the well-cooked vinegar that gives it the right amount of sourness a classic Dinuguan has. It surely goes well with garlic rice.
Boneless Chicken Barbecue with Laing
In this convenient food pack, you get the sweet and smoky, slightly charred taste of tender chicken meat and the creamy and rich flavor of vegetables stewed in coconut milk. If it weren’t in a ready-to-heat container, you would totally think this Laing is home-cooked.
Laing is known to be one of the classic spicy dishes of Bicol, but this version has a very mild kick of heat, so even people who aren’t so good with chili peppers could totally enjoy this dish.
The New Dishes
Korean Beef Bulgogi
What happens when you’re craving Korean food but you don’t want to splurge? Easy. Go for the affordable and easy-to-prepare alternative: the ready-to-heat Korean Beef Bulgogi of Goldilocks.
What sets this microwavable meal apart from all the bulgogi recipes out there is the sweet and strong peppery taste it offers, balanced by the earthy and nutty flavor of sesame oil. The tempting aroma and the tenderness of the beef strips will make you take one bite after another. Definitely a satisfying quick meal for lunch or dinner.
Chicken Teriyaki
Another widely popular international cuisine among Filipinos is the traditional Chicken Teriyaki of Japan. Who doesn’t love the sweet and crisp flavor of tender Chicken Teriyaki strips?
You’ll be glad to know that Goldilocks’ ready-to-heat version of the Japanese dish offers the same caramelized and right kind of salty taste but in a more convenient and budget-friendly pack.
