EN: mouth-watering; delectable; tempting
The highest praise you can give to food just by looking at it. It's what you say when you see crispy pata with the skin glistening, a halo-halo overflowing with ingredients, or a perfectly grilled liempo. It’s the feeling that makes you drool and say "Penge!" even if you're not hungry. Food that is "katakam-takam" is an automatic star on your Instagram story.
From `takam` (craving, greed for food), reduplicated with the prefix `ka-` to form an adjective meaning 'causing the state of takam'.
Almost exclusively used for food. Can be used metaphorically for something very desirable, but this is rare.
