Remember when we said we’d never make a TikTok account? Now we’re in this no-exit rabbit hole. After simmering our way through the site of relatable school skits, dance crazes, and budol finds we now enter the world of gourmet.
From scouring the site for a budget baon meal and meryenda, to your go-to movie date food ideas and to satisfying your midnight snack cravings, anything to fill your plate —TikTok has it all.
Calling out to all the foodies out there because you don't want to miss out on this juicy roster of local food creators on TikTok! You never know, you might get your next dinner idea with our lineup.

@abigailfmarquez Peach Mango pie...but make it Lumpia! What should we try next? #food #foodexperiment #willitlumpia #filipinorecipe #foodtiktok #foodie #filipino #foodieph #cooking #foodlover #yummy #delicious #peachmango #lumpia #foodexperiment ♬ Material Girl - Madonna
We start strong with our list with ‘lumpia queen’, who was first known with her content series showing her wrapping foods with lumpia skin and frying them. This unique way piqued the community's interest and later dubbed her the ‘lumpia queen’.
We’ve grown accustomed to her “What happens if we make…” intro until we get sucked into her straightforward way of cooking with fast transitions. Her recipes vary from things you can easily make in your home, she’s also known for innovative and creative recipes that champion food Pinoys usually consume.
Recently, Abigail’s been seen with Juju and also appeared on FEATR with Erwan Heussaff.

Fred is definitely every foodie’s best friend, with her calm voiceovers and slow-paced videos that you can easily follow.
She is first known for her Mango Graham Ice Cream Sandwich recipe. She’s not the usual food content creator as she reviews food and has food hacks for you; she makes chicken oil, homemade mayonnaise, salted egg yolk powder, and even homemade marshmallow!

@jujumaoo Chicharron w/ Guacamole 🐷🥑 Finally got to try this viral combo and it was so yummy!! The cook of the pork is very similar to “Bagnet” from the PH 😋 🇲🇽 Mexicans 🤝 🇵🇭 Filipinos #chicharron #chicharon #chicharrones #guacamole #guac #chicharonconguacamole #bagnet #porkbelly #mexicanfood #foodtok #foodasmr #asmr ♬ Marimar - Thalia
Admit it, we only came for his “Ooh, baby”. Juju’s presentation of his videos captures his followers because it’s quirky, as we sometimes see him playing with the ingredients (not in a negative way!) and dancing and making faces in the background.
Juju explores different cuisines like India, Japan, Korea, England, Taiwan and many more. Check him out if you want something diverse in your food palette.

@crucrukatchoo both a hobby and a chore 😬 #fypage #cooking #FoodieTokPh #foodie #TikTokPh #funny #relatable #fyp #food ♬ original sound - Boy Jr.
One of the underrated food TikToker, you are lucky to discover this hidden Pokémon (pun intended). He started his videos with his graveyard, mid and morning-shift diaries where he cooks leftover food from his home. He’s also known for his food memes and humor (sometimes dark ones!), and notably, the sounds in his TikTok videos are fittingly quirky and fun.
His recipes are relatable to those who work in a WFH set-up. Corporate working slaves, where you at? While he has a strong inclination with varieties of noodle dishes in his content. He also reviews restaurants and is open to collaboration.
Follow him if you want to laugh and satisfy your midnight snack cravings!
Tiffany Go (@tiffanyjillian)
@tiffanyjillian Inspired by: McDonalds, great shows, and awesome friendships. ♥️ Happy Halloween! #HalloweenTreats #StrangerTitas #TikTokOrTreat #strangerthings ♬ Never Ending Story - Gaten Matarazzo & Gabriella Pizzolo
Not relatively new, but is definitely a hidden gem worth polishing. You’ll be pulled in with her classy videos that always have a little bit of finesse sprinkled on top.
Tiffany specializes in beverages (sometimes with alcohol!) and desserts which you can imitate for your next hangout or chill night with your besties. She also has a #EatsOnScreen series on her TikTok, where she makes recipes based on her favorite films. Cinephiles, watch out!
The list did not include those who paved the way for these food contents (like Ninong Ry, Chef Hazel, Conch Cruz, and more) but featured new and hidden gem TikTok food creators. If we missed your favorite foodie TikToker, please comment below!
