Love Good food! Love nature!

Organic food has became very popular, it shows that people today are health conscious.

Delivereat was able to supply for the normal demand for food, but we weren't able to penetrate into the vegetarian market. Not until we discovered Nature's Spoon. They are situated in I-Avenue, pretty hidden because they are in a lane behind Hong Leong Bank. Why should I dine-in/order from them? Let me convince you why should you order from them, regardless your a vegetarian or not! Their main attractive point is the dishes aren't only made from vegetables but are also ORGANIC! which makes it special because if you look at those kopitiam vegetarian stores, there is a highly chance you will find not only vegetables but processed artificial meat. (vegetables that are made to look and taste like meat.) But do you know what goes in them, well I am here not to talk about them.

First of all what is ORGANIC?
The term "organic" referes to the way agricultural products are grown and processed. Specific requirements must be met and maintained to ensure all products are certified and labeled organic. Organic crops must be grown in safe soil, have no modifications, and must remain  separate from conventional products. This farmers are not allowed to use synthetic pesticides, bioengineered genes (GMO's), petroleum-based fertilizers, and sewage sludge-based fertilizers.

That being said so what are the benefits of eating organic food?
-Organic produce contains fewer pesticides, the chemicals are widely used in conventional agriculture and residues remain on (and in) the food we eat!
-Organic food is often fresher, because fresh food tastes better!

Surprisingly, when I see pictures about Nature Spoon's dishes it make my mouth water. I generally can't believe there is such a restaurant which has delicious food made organically and yet affordable to our pockets. Well its worth the try, because Delivereat is delivering so you dont have to waste money on petrol and car park. Lets eat!

History of food delivery

Food delivery service offers the most vital assistance to the millions of people especially those in the modern age. People these days are often busy with their projects or has a hectic timetable which leaves them very little time to grab a bite. Essentially food delivery services are an important system for those that want help in ensuring they have a well cooked, prepared meals delivered to their door. But the question is where does the service originated from? And how does it help people on a day to day basis?




We will look to India first, I am sure us Malaysians are familiar with the tiffin box, up till today is still being used by residents as a way of food catering for the family. 

A dabbawala (Marathi) also spelled as dabbawalla  or dabbawallah; literary means "box person", is a person in India, most commonly found in the city of Mumbai, who is employed in a unique service industry whose primary business is collecting freshly cooked food in lunch boxes from the residences of the office workers. Then delivers the food to their respective workplaces and returning the empty boxes back to the customer's residence by using various modes of transport. You got to respect them for their hard work. It is not really not easy to recognize which ones belong to which customer. The concept of the dabbawala originated when India was under British rule. Many British who came to the colony didn't like the local cuisines, so a service was set up to bring lunch to these people at their workplace straight from their home. 

Nowadays, the dabbalawas primary customers are Indian businesspersons, increasingly affluent families employ them instead for lunch delivery to their school-aged children. Even though the service provided might include cooking, it primarily consists of only delivery either home-made or in that latter case, food ordering from a restaurant.


It really reminds me a lot of my childhood days when my grandma would cook a large quantity of food just to cater the needs of residents, the food would be placed in a three tier metal container called a tiffin. Then a man on the motor bike will take this containers and sent it to the resident that orders the food and they would do this every day with one off day. As I walk out in the streets looking for an economy rice stall, I would see the tiffin canisters line up waiting their turn to get the fill of food in them. Those were the days when food was delivered to the house, when your parents aren't home to cook lunch for you after school. Now thats what you call old school Malaysian food delivery service especially in Penang where there are Baba Nyonya culture which influence much of the dishes and the delivery service.

Food, food is every where!!

I am glad to be a Penangnite, you know why?

Because almost every where you turn there is good food and there are plenty!
Besides that, being in Malaysia, you don't generally get bored with the food here, reason is we have a wide range of food from many different cultures, almost everything you can find here in Malaysia.


Whether it can be Japanese, Taiwan, Thailand, Italian, Western, Nepal and etc. Its like living in a bowl of rojak filled with all sorts of fruits.



Back to Penang, I sometimes face this dilemma in Penang is where can i get decent food delivered because most delivery services are only available in KL.
 I have tried searching online, and you know what the results are? You guess it right! FAST FOOD!
There some delivery services which does not deliver at the time I wanted to eat my meal reason the delivery boy is not working or out for another delivery.
 I find it annoying, that the menu for the delivery service is just a picture posted in facebook, and the wording is super small, you got to take a magnifying glass to see it.
Worse of all you have to waste money on phone calls which at times brings you no where! Haiz... (personal experience) Food should be enjoyed and eaten with pleasure not with frustration and burns your pocket with useless calls.


Thats where Delivereat comes into the picture. We will be your solution.
Reason is, everything is done online and there is no hassle in the order placing.
The online platform makes it much more simpler for us Penangnites who just feels lazy to eat out, gets to eat in instead. I am glad to be able to find out about this wonderful service.
We at Delivereat, provide a wide variety of food, feeling Japanese, you could just dress up your house or yourself and enjoy hot Japanese food delivered. Haha...


Well who said good food are only for the ones who are able to dine in the restaurant!

What took you so long!!!

Our motors are in Georgetown

Due to high demand we decided to spread our 'motors' to Georgetown area. this is so that Georgetown people can as well enjoy the convenience of doorstep delivery. The roads are narrow and small so getting a car park can be a hassle as well as costly. Its also a good opportunity for folks to stay home and spend time together with their families.
