Pika Pika, a term in Tagalog meaning “finger foods” or “little snacks,” is a passion project that pays homage to my childhood in the Philippines. Growing up, I was surrounded by a warm and welcoming community of family and friends, where every gathering was centred around an abundance of food. In Filipino culture, we don’t do things small—especially when it comes to food. Even our “little snacks,” known as pika pika, are served in generous portions, embodying the spirit of sharing and togetherness.

The Inspiration Behind Pika Pika

In the Philippines, we don’t have the traditional ‘morning or afternoon tea’; we have pika pika. It’s delightful tradition that brings people together over a variety of delicious finger foods. The idea for Pika Pika was born from these cherished memories, where even a simple gathering meant an array of snacks that could fill you up. It’s common to hear someone say, “so pika pika lang (just finger foods)?”—a phrase that perfectly captures the casual yet abundant nature of these gatherings.

Pika Pika is all about bringing a modern twist to this beloved tradition, offering a curated selection of finger foods designed to foster connection and joy. It’s more than just the food; it’s about the moments shared and the memories created around these delightful bites. Pika Pika is perfect for all the girlies who love “girl dinners,” where the focus is on enjoying good food in great company.
