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 Sonny Thakur, documentary, travel, and food photographer, has to say. He shares his go-to shops for takeout here:
1. Krapow
@krapow.mnl | +63956 2517 150
The brainchild of obsessive home-cook Reginald Prospero, Krapow.mnl is as close to quick Thai street food one can get. The rice meals are budget-friendly while still being big on flavour. Don't forget to order some milk tea and/or mango sticky rice to douse the heat from the stir-fried dishes. My go-to is Pad Krapow! Pro-Tip: Book a seat for exclusive dine-in dishes.
