The COVID-19 pandemic has forced almost all of us to stay put at home. With this, many of us have started learning how to become our own personal chefs so we can prepare our own meals.
Aside from having the power to make healthier choices when we cook our own food, some found cooking therapeutic. It became a way to get our minds off the crisis— in a way, it’s really helpful to our mental health.
However, getting the ingredients still posed some risks since you have to buy them from the palengke or grocery. Now, you don’t have to worry about being a tribute because you can do your palengke errands without leaving the comforts of your home, thanks to Mayani.ph.
Here are some nice palengke finds on Mayani.ph.
