Another plus side is that we can decide on the meals according to our own taste and preferences -- the best of both worlds when it comes to making the food that we love!

Some of us get confused as to which ingredient should and should not be kept inside the refrigerator. Ingredients are an important aspect to cooking and fresh ingredients are key to our health.

REVIEW: Got my favourite with foodpanda

  MCO is still around, working from home is now on a rotational basis but one thing still remains which is craving for food regardless wherever and whenever. I love delivery service and have been using it even when fast food started their own delivery service. It's efficient and no hassle. I know some of you have been having the problem that some delivery service charges can empty your pocket everytime, but there’s a trick to that! First thing first it has to be foodpanda, because foodpanda has more variety of food choices that you can choose from including a stall across the road that you used to get for a quick meal to your favourite restaurant you always had to end your week after a long day at work. The trick is that, to always be on the lookout for discounts or special offers and foodpanda has it all every single day. So, always check the foodpanda app or enable notifications so you don't miss it. My haul this time with foodpanda is 3 Budak Gemok, the famous braised soy sa...
