It has been nearly a year since the world was plunged into a global pandemic that put a chokehold on our everyday lives and, in our collective resilience, we have learned to adapt to our new normal. No sector has adapted as well as the restaurant industry. With most struggling to operate under current restrictions, it truly is remarkable how many have so quickly converted to delivery-only on a whim. Now Philly food lovers can enjoy their favourite restaurants at home in the form of a variety of creative food boxes stuffed with the city’s best eats.
Baology
Hovering somewhere between meal kit and takeout, the delivery boxes here include a week’s worth of selected items and cook-at-home meals from various Philadelphia restaurants. The boxes are a collaborative effort between Taiwanese Baology, Malaysian BYOB Sate Kampar, and Central American eatery El Merkury; additional area restaurants are expected to join.

Bubblefish
This popular Taiwanese snack and bubble tea outpost is beloved for its sleek presentation and creative menu. Its sushi and sashimi platters are carefully curated, and meal delivery boxes can be purchased for up to three people. The solo box offers a hearty 8-piece sashimi selection, 5 pieces of nigiri, and a spicy tuna roll for pre-dinner noshing; similar options exist for larger crowds.
