LIST: Where to get frozen goods and ready-to-heat meals for your New Year 2025 celebrations
Still not set for Media Noche?
Welcoming guests and hosting celebrations like Media Noche are always fun and exciting, but doing so takes some time and effort. This is why we prepared a roundup of frozen goods for those who don't want to endure long lines in supermarkets as well as cold cuts and ready-to-heat or -cook meals for those who don't have much time to cook for New Year's Eve.
Below are some brands that got you covered as you welcome 2025 with your loved ones.
Cibo
Any celebration wouldn't be complete without ham, and Cibo doesn't disappoint when it comes to it. Its holiday ham, made by award-winning chef Margarita Fores, is not the usual ham as its made with orange glaze instead of pineapple, spiced with cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg. It's available for P975 in select supermarkets as well as Cibo stores nationwide and its official website.
Cocina Murriel
Cocina Murriel's ham offering (P630/P1,100) is also a winner as it's straightforward and simple but it has an added oomph from its smoky flavor. They also have smoked bacon (P480/500g), imperial sausage (P430/500g), smoked daing na bangus (P250/P350g), and more.
Kitchen City
Kitchen City has a myriad of frozen meals that you can easily reheat in time for Media Noche. Their bestsellers include Pinoy offerings like chicken afritada, Bicol express, chicken adobo sa gata, and pinakbet, though they also have other delicious items such as pininyahang manok, baby back ribs, beef caldereta, crusted salmon parmesan with lemon, and so much more. Available in 300 grams and 600 grams, their offerings' prices range from P190 to P950.
KC’s Kitchen
KC's Kitchen also has frozen meals that still taste so good and fresh after heating them. Included in their menu are pork menudo (P150-P650), pork and chicken adobo (P150-P600), bopis (P120-P380), roast beef with mushroom sauce (P180-P580), beef mechado (P150-P600), among others.
Tender Bob’s
Love Tender Bob's? You'd be happy to know it's also offering ready-to-cook items like marinated pork chops (P270/P270g) and US angus beef braised short ribs (P560) as well as frozen meat like US angus beef ribeye (P980/300g) and US angus beef burger patties (P650/180g).
