My First ShopeeFood Delivery

There is always a first time, right? After reading about the fabulous deals and discounts offered by ShopeeFood, I decided to give it a go.

As consumers, we have to explore all possibilities to save on our purchases. Now that Grabfood has twisted my arm (heh..heh...heh...) into signing up for GrabUnlimited, I must now look for other service providers to continue enjoying promos.

So last Friday evening had me scrolling ShopeeFood looking for restaurants. When I see my regular haunts (or potential eateries I want to try), I save the restaurant on my app for easy access.

Then I saw something that I have been wanting to eat. Sotong kangkung! Oh my, it is one of my favorite hawker food which I have not had for the longest time. Then I saw that this eatery also serves tauhu bakar and rojak buah. That's it! Tomorrow I must order!

By the way, today I phoned my mum. I am a very guilty daughter for not calling my mum on a regular basis because I am not one for phone calls. So she asked me "What have you been doing?" My reply "Ordering food" wahahahaha!!!

So.

These were my orders from Sotong Kangkung & Rojak Buah a stall at Selera Malam SS2. 

Sotong Kangkung (small).

Tauhu Bakar (one - which turned out to be two pieces)

And Rojak Buah (small).

All this for one person. Tsk...tsk...tsk...

I ate the sotong kangkung first. Sorry my bowl is very comot because I did the mixing in the bowl. I should have done it in another bowl for better presentation.

The ingredients are just blanched kangkung and squid with a packet each of black sweet sauce, chili sauce and crushed peanuts. There was also half a calamansi lime in the box. 

The stall gave a lot of sauce (I did not use all) and crushed peanuts (yes, more peanuts is a plus point). I won't say that the sotong kangkung was mind blowing, it was just all right. Not as good as what I remembered sotong kangkung to be. 

Next I had the tauhu bakar.

The beancurd was still nicely crispy when it reached me. It is not bad but I still prefer the one that was sold from a van in Taman Tun Dr Ismail (don't know if it is still there). 

Then I had the rojak buah.

Again, very generous with the rojak sauce and crushed peanuts. I ended up enjoying the rojak buah the most although this cannot beat the rojak uncle at Atria. I wonder if he is still there.

I got a nice discount of RM12.00 off this order, so I paid net RM26.50. The sotong kangkung was the most expensive item (RM17.00, I reckon sotong is pricey), the rojak buah was RM9.00 and tauhu bakar (RM6.50). I don't think I will order again since it is pricey and not as good as I had hoped. 

So what did I think of ShopeeFood? Well, the interface and tracking is not as sophisticated as Grabfood's. But in terms of promos and discounts, this is the place to be. It's just like shopping, they have vouchers and flash deals for grabs and it's quite fun.

When I run out of discounts from Grabfood (which I have), I  can turn to ShopeeFood. Yay! (Like this, where got incentive to cook, right? hah..hah...)
