Deliveroo Singapore : Because You Deserve The Best #BYDTB

-
Living abroad and away from family has its perks and of course, its disadvantages too. One thing is that with no helper around, we basically have to fend for ourselves 24/7. This means that if Paul and I have to work late, we still have to worry about where to get dinner and this doesn't exempt us from the dish-washing and house-cleaning chores after. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving our independent life but of course, there are moments when I wish I can just have dinner on our table with just a snap of a finger.

Take last Friday for instance, I was rushing to finish something for work and has resigned to the fact that I will be heading home late on a Friday night. Then I thought that perhaps Paul will be able to get home before me and he'll take care of dinner. Then I received an SMS from him saying that he will have to stay a bit later too. Oh dear! I'm pretty sure that once he gets home, he'll be so hungry and I don't have the time to cook our meal. Before I allowed myself to panic, I started to device a plan. 

Deliveroo to the rescue! I recently got an email from the cool folks of Deliveroo telling me about their upcoming promotion this week (20-26 June 2016) where several burger places around the island will be giving 1-for-1 treats to all Deliveroo customers. Why not give it a try eh? So, I quickly made an order to one of my favorite burger places, Three Buns @ Potato Head Folk which is available within my Deliveroo vicinity. I've tried this place last year and have been wanting to bring Paul to try it too. Since it's taking us forever to make that visit happen, I'll then take the burgers straight to him instead. 


It took me less than 10 minutes to make my order. Most of the time actually went to choosing which burger to get as a lot on the list sounds sooo delish! I eventually went for Baby Huey (S$17.12) for me and Four Floors (S$25.68) for him. Each burger comes with a small serving of thick cut fries by just adding S$2.14 to your meal. I could stop right there but I couldn't resist not ordering the Sticky Toffee Pudding (S$6.42) for dessert. After all, it was a Friday and we're both working late. "We truly deserve the best!" Hehehe :P

Being the OC girl that I am, I really love apps that allow me to track where things are. Be it the cab that I just contacted, the delivery van or the motorcycle rider who's carrying my delicious dinner. It was raining that day so I immediately got a notice that my food might come a bit later than usual. The best thing is knowing the status of my food every step of the way.

2 minutes to go and my food will finally reach me! Can you feel my excitement? :)

She made it just in time! Yahoo!
I love how accurate Deliveroo's tracking system is that the moment I got a prompt that the delivery personnel has reached my place, true enough she was right there at the door within 2 minutes. Everything went swift and smooth making my ordering experience such a breeze. 

As soon as I got home, I happily showed Paul my huge bag of food and we started munching on it within minutes. I love the simplicity of my burger plus the fact that they were very generous with the caramelized onions that sat on top of my chunky beef patty. Ordering from Deliveroo also allowed me to customize my burger. Something that I just love doing to my food. I swapped out the demi brioche bun to a regular sesame bun since I just want it traditional and simple.

Paul's burger was huge and perfect to satisfy his hungry state. It's packed with double 100g aged Hereford Angus Beef patties, two slices of cheese, three servings of onions, pickles, ketchup and miso mayo. I'm so happy that he gave this a two thumbs up sign and he's enjoying it at the comforts of our home. The fries got a bit soggy though since it took me a while to get home but no biggie as I quickly popped it inside the oven and it turned crisp again within minutes.

Lastly, for dessert, I heated up the Sticky Toffee Pudding again to bring the butterscotch sauce back to its liquid form again. After which, I added in the clotted cream which was so yummy! I got to admit that it wasn't the best Sticky Toffee Pudding that I've tasted but for our home dinner, it wasn't so bad at all. 

So should you be craving for burgers this week, check out Three Buns @ Potato Head Folks, Harry's, BERGS, Wildfire Burger, Dolce Tokyo and The Working Title at Deliveroo and enjoy two burger orders for the price of one! I dunno about you but I'm thinking of having burgers again for dinner one of these days. There's no way I'm letting this good deal pass. 

Check out Deliveroo Singapore at https://deliveroo.com.sg/ or download the app through the Apple Store. Not sure if they have it for Android phones too. Do let me know at the comment box below if you have any idea about this.

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
