Everybody wants to be healthy despite living in Singapore. With all those Char Kuay Teow, Satay, Laksa and other Asian delights nearby our office or home, we’ll get fat eventually as there are too much oil and fats in it. We tend to get lazy when we need to walk out of our homes/offices/staycation/birthday parties/picnic and enjoy the scorching sun and get sweaty all over before we can even enjoy a proper lunch/brunch!
Our editorial team decided to come up with different ideas to be healthy – have our daily nutrition fix – while working in a fast-paced environment. Whether the sun was scorching, the rain was pouring and we don’t want to get out of the office, that’s where we thought of using Deliveroo, an on-demand premium food delivery service that helps to bring meals from a wide selection of independent and high-quality chain restaurants to customers’ homes or offices, in an average time of 32 minutes or less! The team went through several debates and came into a conclusion: we would only eat clean OR bring the café experience into our office.
Day 1 – Sushi Burrito
We had a healthy lunch with Sushi Burrito when we were packed with our heavy schedule. Featuring Rainbow Shrimp (Full) – $10.90, Crabby Crunch (Full) – $13.90 & Hot Chick (Full) – $9.90. Within 30 minutes, the food was delivered and it was still fresh and delectable.
Day 2- Group Therapy Cafe
It was raining on day 2 so we’ve decided to stay indoors and order our lunch from Group Therapy Cafe through Deliveroo and they actually brought the cafe food to our office. It was a whole new level of experience when you eat cafe food in your own office! Featuring Skinny Eggs Ben ($17), Poached Egg with scrambled egg ($18.00), Gold Rush Waffle($15), Chicken Mushroom Breadbowl($15), Pork Bratwurst Sausage($4.50), Rekordelig Pear($14.50), Mint Mocha Soy ($7.10), Beef Cheeseburger($21.00) and Mint Mocha Iced($7.50)
The food tasted as good as when we ate at the cafe. It was still warm and delicious! We ended our meal with the Gold Rush Waffle which comes with two scoops of ice cream and the thick salted egg yolk sauce. Heavenly and contented lunch!
Day 3 – Jewel Cafe Bar
No matter where you are at, you can order Deliveroo in just 4 clicks! We had a staycation at Hotel Vagabond and we decided to settle in for lunch since we’re lazing on the bed. Since it was a long weekend ahead, we decided to bring the whole cafe experience into our staycation. Introducing Caesar Salad with herb-roasted chicken breast ($16.05), homemade Apple crumble with vanilla ice cream ($12.84) and Foie Gras Mushroom Risotto($24.61) from Jewel Cafe and Bar and ordered through Deliveroo.
Day 4 – Harry’s
With just a few simple clicks on Deliveroo app and indicate where you are at, you can enjoy your special date/picnic with your loved ones. We got to chill at Marina Bay while enjoying the iconic view and dining with Harry’s Beer Battered Fish & Chips ($25.68), Dry-Rubbed Baby Back Ribs ($28.78), Harry’s Premium Lager ($10.70), Pepperoni Bolognese ($24.50) & Crabmeat Spaghettini($25.57) from Harry’s!
Day 5- Shinkansen
We’ve decided to dine in healthy with Shinkansen whereby you can modify your salad with healthy options like “Light” and “Healthy”! Get to choose your favourite salad and add-on with miso soup to end your meal! With Deliveroo, you can choose to dine indoors or rather in your own office too in just 30 minutes!
Day 6 – Rattana Thai Restaurant
Elevate the Thai cuisine right back to your office with Deliveroo. We had a simple yet scrumptious meal with Rattana Thai Restaurant Fried Tang Hoon(Reg) – $9.90, Crabmeat Fried Rice(Reg) – $11.90 and Mango Salad(Medium) -$15.90 It feels like we are in Thailand! Aroi Mak Mak(DELICIOUS)!
Day 7 – Pho Stop
Due to our busy schedule and upcoming projects, we’re unable to enjoy a proper lunch but thanks to Deliveroo, it saves our day! Went through the app and decided to order Vietnam cuisine instead. Guess what we had on that day? Grilled Pork Chop Rice with sunny side up egg ($11.24) and a cup of chilled Vietnamese White Coffee($4.82) from Pho Stop via Deliveroo. The service was really really fast and it’ll deliver to your doorstep within 30 minutes!
Day 8 – Salad Stop
We are still keeping ourselves fit by having salad! Introducing Salad Stop Iron ‘Wo’ Man with roasted chicken ($13.50), Hail Caesar with roasted chicken ($12.70), Greek Yogurt with Granola($4.50), Tuna San($13), Raspberry Quinoa Cookies-2pcs($3.50) and Walnut Raisin Carrot Cake($3.80)
Day 9 – PS.Cafe – Harding Road

We ordered a huge slice of Double Chocolate Blackout Café ($17.12) from PS.Cafe – Harding Road for one of our writers since it was her birthday. We did a celebration at Singapore Botanical Garden. At any circumstances, Deliveroo is able to deliver your meals to you regardless of where you are at.
