Greetings to my fellow Foodies! As we are all well-informed, the Restriction of Movement order has been imposed recently as a measure to curb the outbreak of Covid-19. The order will last for at least 2 weeks and since it is officially reinforced, it is only best for us to stay put wherever we are. However, we do not have to worry about having to leave the comfort of home to get your meals or your daily supplies. We’re indeed lucky to live in a time where almost everything is available by the click of a button. Here, I have 10 delivery companies in Sarawak that you can use during this lockdown. So, all we need to do is sit back, relax, and wait patiently.

With the current situation of the COVID-19 outbreak, please let your delivery man know, via chat or SMS, where they can leave your food (front door, on top of your car, staircase). As advised by the Ministry of Health, we must keep a distance of at least one metre away from any human contact to stop the spread of COVID-19. Also, practice “Contactless Payment” by choosing to pay with online banking rather than Cash on Delivery.
Kudos to these food delivery services for operating during this time of need. All your needs in one click! Rest assured that the staffs will make sure that you get what you need, when you need it! Stay at home and take care everyone! Order online and keep yourselves safe from Coronavirus outbreak.
