Without a doubt, Filipinos living abroad miss local food. So when balikbayans who haven’t had a taste of home for some time are back in the Philippines, indulging in Filipino dishes is always at the top of their homecoming agenda.
But while fiesta-like celebrations are fun, we understand that it can also be challenging for those who have strict dietary restrictions or simply want to maintain a healthy balance. Since cooking and shopping for organic ingredients or allergen-free options that you’re used to abroad can be a hassle while visiting the Philippines, KUBO compiled a list of the most convenient daily and weekly meal delivery services available around the country.
These services provide nutritious meals and drinks that allow you to focus on enjoying your visit without the stress of searching for healthy dining options to support your diet needs. The best part is, they’re usually delivered in to-go-style containers that you can easily bring along with you and have reheated at your convenience. Ready to search for the best options where you’re located? Read on!
Metro Manila and other areas of Luzon

Why We Like Them: They offer same-day delivery meals for those who are in a rush or didn’t have time to plan.
