     Rush- one word that I hate to hear during the holidays. It is during this time of the year that our schedules turn into a whirlwind because of the gatherings, reunions, and preparations for Noche Buena and Media Noche. I also noticed that it's not only in preparing meals but also in buying gifts as well. All things related to Christmas may bring hassles in jampacked times.

     In these busy times, I thank the geniuses behind honestbee- Asia's fastest growing foodservice powered by community and technology that makes shopping for food and grocery items a breeze. They recently partnered with another leading hypermarket chain, Shopwise to give more choices to the growing population of online grocery shoppers.

honestbee x The Marketplace by Rustan's

     I had a conversation with my husband last week on what to prepare for the holidays. I told him that I wanted something special and not the usual 'handa' because I want to celebrate Christmas up a notch with premium food items on the dining table.

     When I say premium, these are the products or deli items that you will not see in a regular grocery or supermarket. The ingredients in making special dishes need imported or hard to find brands that are usually available in premium stores like The Marketplace by Rustan's. But when I think of the holiday rush, all I wanna do is stay at home and order my groceries from honestbee. Do you want to shop for premium grocery items in the comfort of your home? It's possible now that honestbee recently partnered with The Marketplace by Rustans. Check out the premium brands you can score after the jump :)
