***This list is from 2020. We will publish a new guide for 2022 soon. Sign up in Mamakoo app to stay informed!
2020 has been tough for everyone. Yet, everyone's favorite season has arrived after all! While quarantine rule may be in effect and strongly encouraged, let’s not miss out on the small celebrations we can still indulge in. Let’s make it count to compensate for all that we've missed: hanging out with friends, going to our favorite restaurants, and, of course, traveling. Traveling home is a challenge for many of us, and this Thanksgiving is a chance to treat ourselves.
🧡 Mamakoo staff have been waiting for November to share our intel on the best dinners and desserts for pre-order; and we have to admit that this year's offerings from our recommended restaurants look fabulously irresistible.
💡 This year, we noticed even those restaurants who previously hesitated in offering takeout meals have come forward with family-style dinner packages and various pick-up options. If you’re open to skipping the traditional turkey this year (let’s face it; the giant bird is hard to finish even with a small gathering), you have lots to choose from for a hassle-free, chef-class, gratification-guaranteed meal without having to worry about setting a thing in the oven
You know Mamakoo recommends only the best ones in town 😉
