Welcome to Foodie Finds! This is an article series by Tatler, chronicling where and what to order according to the food-obsessed.
I myself have never understood non-foodies. How can one not love flavours, spices, aromas and all the cultural nuances and memories that come with every bite? Dining is an experience meant to be savoured and is even more fun when shared with loved ones. Dining around a table means sharing, conversing, bonding and learning. A dish can tell you so much about a person, a culture, and a country. It speaks volumes of a nation's history and is an art-form on its own. Skilled hands are trained over years or are born out of pure passion and practice. Professional chefs and home cooks alike, from young stars to grandmothers, have been cooking up meals filled with emotion and have truly made us foodies, happy.
Through Foodie Finds, we ask our epicurean friends to share their favourites. In this feature, we tackle takeout and delivery. Hear what food blogger and influencer Jin Perez-Go has to say. She shares her go-to shops for takeout here:
1. Artisan Cellar Door

We are carnivores who love steak nights and shabu-shabu nights at home. Artisan Cellar’s Mayura Wagyu and recently launched Okan Wagyu are our go-to meats, both boast incredible flavour and buttery texture. They are available in a variety of cuts and whichever kind you choose, I guarantee it will be hard to go back to eating regular beef. Artisan Cellar also carries Joselito, one of the best brands for jamon iberico de bellota, and a great selection of wines. My favourites are: Mayura wagyu and Okan wagyu M6-7 ribeye for steaks; Mayura yakiniku cut for hotpot; Mayura wagyu burger; Joselito Jamon Vintage; and different wines for different occasions.
