This is my so called life: June 2016

So it’s Ramadhan and it’s the most unlikely time for you to cook at home. But fret not, there seem to be many options out there to help people like me and you. And because there were so many people who helped to compile this list, I felt compelled to share it with all of you.

And here are some of my favorites:

1

1. Frozenlauk

You can check out their facebook page for list of food offered. Frozen Lauk does literally frozen lauk. I love their selection of lauk which varies on daily basis from kuzi, masak lemak, kurma, rendang or even asam pedas. Most of the food cost RM10-RM15 with a nice portion for 2 pax to share. They do free delivery for a min order but do mostly self pickup in ampang or desa pandan area.

2. Yumcious.com

Yumcious is a community marketplace for homemade food and it has recently gained good traction. So far they have 14 featured cooks listed and you would be able to recognize some of the big names there as well.

I love the the very idea of Yumcious is so that foodies would be able to enjoy food from good and passionate home-chefs everywhere. Yumcious operates with 3 basic premise of having a foodie (for food order), Yum-Chefs (cook your delicious food from the comfort of home) and a Transporter (Pick up and deliver meals). Besides, it’s just like any other take-outs you would normally do but the love for home-made food is a sure winner of why people would opt for this choice. You can check out their website for food option but a lunch/dinner menu would cost around RM15.

3. Dish by Ili

You may recognize Ili with her trademark tiffin food service (or rather the mangkuk tingkat girl). She was also the Asian Food Channel 2015 Food Hero Asia Winner. Her tiffin complete meal cost around RM50/60 (small) or RM100/RM120 (large) depending on the set you order. There is a deposit for the tiffin which is refunded when you return it (or you can pass your very own). She changes the menu every week with a sizeable portion enough for 2-3 pax. I have tried Ili’s dish and I must say that it is worth every penny.

4. My Tingkat

Mytingkat.com is another home-style meals delivered to your doorstep. They have come up with a special menu for the month of Ramadhan and they do delivery to many locations in KL and even PJ. Customers who orders for more than 10days or more than RM300 will also get special discount (yeay). I love how they also serve desert and some comes with delicious drinks with it. Yummy. How can you not love mytingkat.

5. Mas Merah

Those working in the fabulous PETRONAS Twin Towers may recognize Mas Merah as one of it’s more famous in-house caterer, serving meeting lunches. They now caters for bukak puasa menu and deliver right to the office every single day, with different menu. All the lauk cost about RM4-5 per pax and if you have tried Mas Merah like most of us do, you would want to have the food for your wedding food! Well, some of us did.

6. Eat With Mune

Some of you may recognize this as an upcoming eatery in Publika, where they serve healthy delicious food. You may also see regulars such as Dynas Mokhtar, Scha Alyahya or the heartthrob Zul Ariffin coming in every other week or so. I haven’t personally tried it, but from the look of the social feed and the many healthy options they have, I felt like a change in lifestyle is necessary for me now. And what better way to do it than to start with eating healthy (ps and because my boss said the grilled selection is da’ bomb, I should try that first! #winner)

7. Tiffin Anaqil
