Tired of the usual fare at home in the MECQ? Here's a simple, quick and easy fix straight out of a jar. Transform and elevate ordinary dishes at home with a jar of crunchy and spicy goodness of the specialty Chili Garlic from Crisp PH... 

Just a spoonful or two changes the flavors and textures almost immediately as a comfortingly familiar homestyle dish becomes refreshingly new and special. Crisp PH adds the crunch and soothing heat to everyday dishes at home with their bestselling Chili Garlic in glass jars, a unique find and home pantry essential in this new normal. Dumplings, arroz caldo and tapsilog at home becomes much better with a spoonful, straight from the jar.

The implementation of MECQ in the NCR Plus comes as no surprise as cases of new infections continues to rise. Staying home is once again the norm in this lingering pandemic. Staying home means dining at home, emerging as one of the dominant new consumer habits along with the rise of the food delivery culture and increased online usage in a difficult and challenging new normal that continues to change and define the past nineteen months (yes, it's been that long). 

But there's a silver lining from the quarantine experience, with the home kitchen once again revived as the hub of all family activities where fond memories are created. Cooking at home becomes a much anticipated event but when you've gone through your favorite recipe book looking for something new, a tasty solution is within easy reach packed in a jar.   

All your favorite homestyle dishes are transformed with the specialty Chili Garlic (P 185) by Crisp PH with crunchy garlic bits draped in chili-infused coconut oil. The applications offer infinite possibilities limited only by your imagination. Simply take your favorite staple from the home pantry, ref or kitchen and take it for a delicious test drive with the Chili Garlic by Crisp PH. One spoonful and the usual and familiar becomes refreshingly new.    

It's amazing how vibrant flavors and textures can be incorporated in any dish with just a spoonful. Pull out your stash of frozen dim sum from the freezer and place it on the steamer as you would normally do, but top it with a generous layer of Chili Garlic...

...and that first bite immediately tells you this isn't your normal steamed dumplings at home. Paired with your usual soy-based dip, each bite delivers that delectable crunch followed by a lingering heat to complement the soft, springy and savory dumplings. 

The deep and intense nutty notes of the crispy garlic adds a layer of richness to the dumplings tempered by a mildly soothing heat. The crunch of the garlic bits weaves textural contrasts to the soft yet firm dumplings delivering that delectable yet balanced palate-pleasing play on both texture and flavor. 

Your usual steamed dumplings at home becomes a lavish treat, but that's not all you can do with the Chili Garlic from Crisp PH... 

The comfortingly familiar arroz caldo is given a flavorful spin with just a few dabs of Chili Garlic for that appetizing play on flavor and texture with that punchy spice. 

This is just what you need for the long rainy days in the quarantine, a hearty and sumptuous bowl of the traditional rice porridge with chicken and boiled egg is likewise transformed with a few dabs of Chili Garlic and chili-infused oil. Like a comforting hug on the palate, the soothing notes of the porridge are kicked up by the crunch and spice of the Chili Garlic for that perfect finish.  

And when the clouds turn grey, just let it rain. You've got a comforting bowl of arroz caldo made even better with Chili Garlic to get you through and warm your palate and body.

Weekdays and weekends become a blur in this new normal, and staying home in the quarantine made us all look forward to a home-cooked breakfast. In a recent survey by a leading food delivery app, cakes and breakfast dishes topped the list as food delivery options in the metro. It's a clear indication of the yearning for normalcy before the pandemic changed everything with a comforting breakfast at home up there on the list.

It's dishes at home like this that reminds us of the massive impact of the quarantine experience, as comfortingly familiar meals become a much needed and welcome break from the daily barrage of the pandemic in our social media newsfeeds.
