It’s only four days before Christmas and after this, festive New Year’s Eve celebrations rock the town. Here’s a preview of what some fine places in Manila have to offer in terms of gift-giving and holiday dining. They have food to take away as well which is something to consider when one’s pressed for time or too harried to slave it out in the kitchen.
Dean & Deluca has gifts available in wooden crates, canvas bags and red boxes. You can choose from their selection or make your own from tons of choices like wine, jam and jellies, coffee, tea, canned and bottled savory goods, sauces and pasta. Pair these with mugs, coffee press, tumbler, tea pots and cups, wine stopper, whisky rocks, aprons and so on.
