An exciting new menu celebrates Filipino mid-day favorites with global flavors and comforting twists<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"Merienda is an important part of Filipino food culture. Whether it\u2019s a steaming bowl of sopas, a glass of refreshing halo-halo, or a stick of delectable fishballs, Pinoys have a fond memory of this quick in-between meal.<\/p>\n

World Kitchens understands the country’s love for this gastronomic tradition, that\u2019s why it is now offering beloved merienda favorites and a bit more. Its merienda menu redefines the Filipino ritual by giving familiar food comforts a touch of international flair.<\/p>\n

Feeling drained after a full morning of errands or looking for something that feels like a reward? STICKY SWEET <\/strong>serves a plate of Mango Sticky Rice<\/strong> that might be just what you need \u2014 soft, chewy rice with coconut cream and sweet mangoes for a finish that\u2019s bright but balanced. The Ube Champorado<\/strong> leans into comfort, enriched with coconut cream and cheese, and when paired with Gourmet Tuyo<\/strong>, the familiar dish takes on a surprising depth.<\/p>\n

For a more leisurely catch-up with friends, the Afternoon Tea Set<\/strong> is the perfect treat to share. Its three-tiered selection of savories, scones, and sweets is sure to delight: Bacon and Olive Financiers<\/strong> and Cheesy Spinach Tartines<\/strong> for the savory tooth, British Scones<\/strong> with Chantilly cream and strawberry compote in the middle, and Carrot Cupcakes<\/strong>, Diamond Cookies<\/strong>, and Chocolate Petit Fours<\/strong> to close \u2014 best enjoyed with Janat tea<\/strong> or a cup of long black coffee<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Filipino favorites shouldn\u2019t be missed. CHEF JESSIE\u2019s Special Halo-Halo<\/strong> is light, refreshing, and beautifully layered, while her Pancit Palabok with Pan de Sal Filling and Halo-Halo<\/strong> gives a classic pairing a satisfying twist.<\/p>\n

Those with a taste for spice can wander into PRANA\u2019s<\/strong> Indian-inspired menu. The Afghani Murgh Tikka with Indian Masala Chai<\/strong> brings together smoky, tender chicken and aromatic tea, while the Vegetable Samosa<\/strong> and Chicken Tikka Tandoori Wrap<\/strong> are simple pleasures that redefine your merienda.<\/p>\n

For something familiar yet indulgent, DARIO PIZZA & MORE<\/strong> serves up crowd favorites such as the Italian Sandwich<\/strong> with Parma ham, mozzarella, and crispy parmesan cheese, and the Margherita Pizza<\/strong>, a simple but flawless combination of tomato, cheese, and basil.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s SHINSHIMA\u2019s Okonomiyaki<\/strong>, a savory Japanese pancake that\u2019s light, fluffy, and topped with bonito flakes that curl as they meet the heat.<\/p>\n
