[April 10, 2000] Looking for Filipino delicacies and have them delivered to you? Pinoydelikasi.com, an online delicacy store offers a variety of delicious mouthwatering Filipino delicacies delivered right at your doorstep. It offers a fast and convenient way to purchase Filipino delicacies.

Lisette Cipriano VP of Pinoydelikasi.com said that the idea behind the name Pinoydelikasi is "Lutong Pinoy, Delicious Kasi!". That's Pinoydelikasi if it were expressed completely.

"Lutong pinoy or Filipino cuisine is composed of dishes, sweets, and pastries of great variety as the regions of the Philippine archipelago itself," said Cipriano. "And its taste comprises many qualities, but all sum up to one word - delicious!"

Pinoydelikasi aims to share this taste to as many people as possible. Why? Cipriano explained, "The reason is simple- because (because in Filipino is "kasi") Filipino's cooked and baked products are so delicious that you have to taste them all yourself.

Pinoydelikasi.com's prices are competitive with those at local makets. Unlike local stores, the consumer will be less inclined to impulse buying. Product such as dried mangoes, dried pusit, danggit, papaya, are here. Cipriano intends to offer all kinds of local delicacy in his site soon.

For first time shoppers, use the Express Lane feature of the site, which simply allows the buyer to type in the quantity with minimum of five items of delicacy, fill out the form, and hit 'Express Lane'. It is better to place orders before 5 PM on a Friday so the buyer can schedule or reserve a delivery time for Wednesday the week after. Place the preferred schedule of delivery at the "Additional Information" section of the order form. Pinoydelikasi.com delivers seven days a week, from morning to evening. Before an order can leave the store for delivery, it is carefully checked for accuracy and proper packaging.

A trained, uniformed Pinoydelikasi.com messenger will deliver the orders right to buyers door. While the payment can be on cash or by bank transfer. Cipriano said that it will soon have an online payment facility.
