The Star of the Show: Astoria’s Prime Cochinillo
No fiesta feels complete without that showstopping cochinillo, but who actually has the time (or patience) to roast a whole pig for hours? Well, worry no more! Astoria’s Prime Cochinillo is your secret weapon, with its perfectly crispy and golden skin and juicy meat. No last-minute panic, just unwrap, slice, and watch your guests fight over the crunchy bits. Best part? More time for you to actually enjoy the party!
The ultimate must-have bilao meal!
You know that moment when you spot that glorious bilao—overflowing with pancit, spaghetti, crispy chicken, lumpiang shanghai, or barbecue? That is the charm of bilao meals, the ultimate fiesta hack for busy hosts. What makes it so special? It is not just one dish – it is the whole fiesta spread in one stunning presentation! Astoria Gourmet Take-aways gets it, so we offer bilao options for every gathering size, from intimate duo and trio platters to massive quadro spreads that will feed the entire clan!
Everyone’s favorite sweets!
And just like that, we are now at everyone’s favorite part – sweets! Because what is a feast without that perfect ending, right? You know how it goes, the kids (and let us be honest, us kids-at-heart, too!) start eyeing the dessert table the moment we see them. And while cake is always a classic, maybe you are craving something different this time. Good thing Astoria Gourmet Take-aways offers all the Pinoy merienda favorites that will make your dessert spread extra special – from bibingka, puto bumbong, espasol and so much more. The only problem now is choosing which ones to get, but here is a pro tip: Get them all – it is a fiesta after all, right? After all, getting them is easy. You do not even need to leave your house, just order these sweet treats through food delivery in Pasig. One less thing to worry about while you are busy being the ultimate host!
