Though hubby's chef cooks on an almost daily basis and we eat them regularly, I still order food from random home-based sellers on Facebook to support these sellers. I do this once every fortnightly. Once or twice a week, I get takeout dishes from our neighborhood eateries to support these business owners, who have become my friends. One lady boss of our favorite eatery often gave us souvenirs whenever she went on a holiday. She would also gift us mooncakes, tang yuan and bak zhang during these Chinese festivals. Our girls have also been receiving a big ang pow from her during Chinese New Year for the past 12 years. She would sometimes treat us to the roast pork and roast chicken from her shop. And we reciprocate by ordering food from her shop at least once a week.
Ordering food and drinks online makes me a very happy bunny. Now that I can't indulge in my twice monthly retail therapy, ordering food, drinks and buying stuff online give me the same satisfaction I get as when I go mall shopping 😬
Last Saturday, I ordered Western food and fusion Malay food from a random homebased cook on Facebook. For someone who's non-anal when it comes to food, I'm pretty satisfied with the food. I thanked the seller for giving me an extra meat ball. But for my 3 finicky girls, especially our Junior Master Chef, they made quite a bit of fuss about the food 😂. And I paid RM81 for all these including delivery charges.
In conclusion, they still prefer the food from their daddy's shop 😁
Chicken chop with fries.
