It’s no secret that we Pinoys love our food. Taking photos of our food and posting it on social media for all our friends and family to see? We love that even more!
We have turned to social media now more than ever to keep tabs on the new restaurants to look out for, and all the yummy eats we can try around the metro! Unsurprisingly, then, that tons of Instagram food accounts, all run by Filipino foodies, have quickly risen to fame on the app.
We have here an unranked, incomplete list of Pinoy foodie IG accounts that will just make you drool and crave for whatever it is you’re craving. Gooey cheese? Dripping egg yolk? We are so there.
@eatsplorations
Cuter than an Instagram couple account is an Instagram couple food account. Mark and Bianca, who call themselves Mr. and Mrs. Eats, are behind this stunning food account, documenting the food they explore on their travels, along with their adorable daughter Sabine.
