Trending: Gourmet Filipino Foods from Online Sellers
These days you need not wait for the next food bazaar for a chance to purchase your favorite bottled gourmet tuyo bits. When some of the things you crave aren’t available in grocery stores, you have to be resourceful. Thankfully, there’s also no need to travel to the far corners of the Philippines to avail of authentic exotic Filipino flavors. All you have to do is go online. Et voila—gourmet Filipino food is just a click away.
A growing online community
The security and surety provided by reputable shopping websites such as Karton.ph makes online e-commerce appealing to a growing number of Filipino households. What used to be a novel way of purchasing grocery items is now becoming mainstream. Personal information is protected because these sites are compelled by their company values to comply with highest industry standards. Today, you can enjoy gourmet and artisanal Filipino products without being fearful of data security breach.
Honest and vetted reviews
People rely on other people to provide them with honest feedback on the products they purchase. Online e-commerce sites make the reviews available to anyone who has the time to browse customer feedback. Their personal experience counts and you have to find the time to read the reviews and see for yourself whether a platform is worth doing business with. Do not risk being grossly mishandled. It can happen, but you have the power to prevent it from happening to you.
An alternative holiday shopping spree
Your foodie friends will have no shortage of gourmet products they’ve been craving all year. This holiday season, you can forgo the usual visit to the mall. Skip the lines and the crowd. Instead, get a bucket of popcorn and start browsing sites such as Karton.ph for the latest uploads. Gourmet meats and snacks—must-try products your friends will love are now available from passionate artisans who prioritize quality above all.
From the garage to the Internet
Online platforms selling gourmet Filipino food work with artisans and food makers that started out as small-scale garage outlets. Some of them are still selling directly from their homes, while also spreading out to the Internet. The comfort of Pinoy flavors will arrive at your doorstep. All you have to do is pay for the goods and start enjoying it with family—just a day or two after ordering it. Isn’t that wonderful?
So, where can you find authentic Filipino flavors? Shop online and be happily surprised!
I love buying different types of food that I can’t find in my own country online. I remember the time I went to Brazil and brought home a box of really cheap chocolates. I loved them so much that I looked everywhere online and finally found a shop selling them in the UK. I ordered 5 boxes. It’s great that more and more shops dedicated to different countries sell gourmet products online and have free delivery.
I for one buy from online shops offering food, gourmet meats and snacks included. When I was very pregnant with my now four-month old boy, I used to buy a lot of gourmet tuyo. I tried about six or seven brands and those tuyo in the bottle are what I often eat. I find entrepreneurs like them innovative. I just hope many would be flexible in their payment terms. I for one prefer CDO as I have no means to puy through bank or payment centers.
This is a wonderful idea. There are certain local Filipino food from my hometown which I truly miss. Having them available online is a blessing. So happy that technology makes life easy for consumers and small businesses too.
I love discovering new online shopping finds. Filipino gourmet food is a great gift idea for friends and even your boss. It’s important to do some research before purchasing. Checking out reviews, the comments and making sure they have updated communication with people on their social media or website is an effective way of determining their legitimacy.
