I had the joy of testing out Summer Hill's DIY Eats and "cooking" for my family recently. I use inverted commas because while I indeed produced an impressive feast that looked and tasted good, I did none of the heavy-lifting! Everything has been fully cooked by the Summer Hill team, all you need to do is simple reheating. It's what Chef Anthony calls quality comfort for everyone. The DIY Eats menu is available in Single serves & Family serves to fit all occasions...

Have a craving for murtabak or briyani? I did! So I decided to give a newcomer to the growing list of alternative food delivery platforms a whirl and ordered from North Bridge Road halal restaurant Al-Tasneem via BYSGFORSG.  This is a 100% volunteer-run, not-for-profit initiative to help local F&B establishments increase their revenue during this difficult period. Which means no admin fees for vendors, just a small 5% commission off the total bill, all of which is donated to YMCA’s “Wok The Talk” initiative, which in turn helps feed the vulnerable in the community. For a flat fee of $5 for delivery (all of which goes to the hard-working delivery folk),  you get a hot meal of your choice conveniently delivered to your doorstep. And my mighty meal of murtabak and briyani did indeed arrived hot, on-time and smelling absolutely mouth-watering...

This week, try tea time treats with a BBQ twist! Chop Hup Chong is a company that has been manufacturing barbecued meat products or bak kwa in the North of Singapore since the 1970s and I recommend their unique bak kwa bao and bak kwa chiffon cake! These are available for delivery straight to your doorstep and for under $20, you’ve settled satisfying snacks for 3-6 people!

How about a charcoal roasted meat feast as we count down to the easing of the circuit breaker? This week, have a gorgeously smokey set meal delivered straight to your doorstep at a reasonable price! They have set meals for 2 - 8 people ranging from $18.80 to $71.80. I chose Package C ($20.80) for 2, consisting ¼ roast duck and an extra choice of 2 meats - choose from roast duck, chicken, char siew, roasted crispy pork belly or sausage. I went with the classic combo of roasted pork and char siew. White rice and oyster sauce vegetable with fried shallot rounded off the meal. The roasted duck, in my opinion was the clear winner...
