Buy me this and you’ll be char-cute to me.
There’s nothing like cured meat, cold cuts, and cheese on a Valentine’s date— because honestly speaking, it’s essentially a prerequisite for a romantic evening. That is, if you’ve saved a ton of money for a special rendezvous at a pretentiously overpriced Italian restaurant, only to eat thin slices of meat and grapes for the rest of the night.
If that’s not the case, here’s an idea for a playful and portable Valentine’s gift bound to give charcuterie lovers a munching good time. Look to BGC’s Poco Deli and their mini Charcuterie Cone, which you can customize with the variety of cold cuts and cheeses available in their deli.
You can get Poco Deli’s Charcuterie Cone for just ₱150 with all the crackers, cold cuts, olives (if you’re into that), and dried fruits you can take. If you want to know more about Poco Deli, check out their Facebook page. For more restaurants in BGC, read on!
