FoodPanda

2014 is almost ending ! Can't believe this year just went past in a blink of an eye. A lot of wonderful moments to cherish this year.... mainly my brother's wedding which took place a couple of weeks ago. My relatives from all over the country came down to witness this memorable event. During this time, I realised food delivery to your door step is the utmost important thing. We had a lot work piled up, a week before the wedding, everyone had their own task to handle & hence there were so little time to think about cooking for the whole family & cleaning up. The best way to get food delivered to you was from a reliable online food delivery service.

And so here I am today, to introduce FoodPanda, an online food delivery service that is both reliable & quick.

FoodPanda

This is what FoodPanda has to say about them in their website :

We are a small team of problem solvers, designers, thinkers and tinkers, working around the clock to make Foodpanda the most powerful online tool for food delivery in the universe. We believe that ordering food should be easy, fast and definitely fun! We wanted something simpler, so we made it.

There are an online food delivery service to help you save lots of time. You can forget about having to queue for your food at a restaurant / cafe, forget about waiting in a jam just to pick up your food or even eating the same fast food over and over again ! 

There are here to help save our precious time by connecting us to great food. It does not matter whether you're at work in the office or at home, they will still deliver your food to your doorstep. The website gives you detail of restaurants nearby you and the foods & beverages that they offer.

Drinks are not an issue too........ you can choose Chatime, Starbucks, Denise Wines and many more. You just have to let your imaginations go wild. 

                         

Hey....you might think its difficult to order online, or you're not sure on how or where to start ordering from, or you might even be thinking of the hassle of registration online prior to the delivery. Well... fret not ! I have tried & tested and hence I can guarantee you that the process is very simple. I will take you step by step on how to order from FoodPanda

And I can't believe that this statement is actually coming from me! I do not work with laptops like many others out there ..... so Im definitely not a tech savvy. I practically prefer going to the banks to do my usual errant, I prefer going to the restaurants to get my meals, but after knowing about this wonderful site I think otherwise....

We decided to eat lunch at home on a lazy Sunday. My husband was away and plus I had to babysit my neighbours kid as well. Now for me to handle 3 kids all by myself during a meal is very difficult if Im going to eat at a restaurant. They will definitely drive me up the wall at a particular restaurant by creating a lot of mess and making a lot of noise that might disturb the other customers. Hence, I've decided to order from FoodPanda. The kids can have their own pace to eat and I dont have think about the mess that they create. Its a Win-Win situation. And I was so proud of the idea. So sit back & read on as I assist you on this

Step 5 

How to filter according to your preferences ? Well at the left hand side, you see a column like this. You can choose what you prefer, for example you have a choice of Halal & Non- Halal food, if you're looking only for beverages, to find out if pre-order & pick ups are possible or you're looking for extra perks like if the restaurants offer any Deals. You can also filter by choosing what Cuisines you like, Malaysian food, fast food, Pizza, Cakes, sandwiches or seafood. 

I wanted a restaurant that offers both Western & Malaysian food and that comes along with beverages. So I clicked on Western, Malaysian food and beverages( as you see from the picture above)  and I had a few restaurants to choose from. 

Step 6

It also shows you their delivery time and delivery charges. Once you have filtered and decided which restaurant you want, just click 'Go to menu' and have fun choosing the dishes & beverages that you like.

Step 8 

You can now review your order again. If you need to add more dishes or remove a certain dish, you can still do so by clicking 'Change Order' at the top right hand corner. You can choose your delivery time, whether you want them ASAP or choose 'later' and give them the exact date and timing. I wanted them to deliver as soon as possible and so I clicked on it. Once you're done click 'Checkout'

Step 9

You're done ! Continue your work routine or relax by watching TV while the FoodPanda delivers food right to your doorstep !! 

40 minutes later 

Hey...... guess who was at the front door 20 minutes earlier than expected !! Its the friendly delivery guy from FoodPanda. The kids were starving & were very excited when he came all smiling with 3 big bags full of yummy food. He was not only very friendly but also very professional & that impressed me.

Mr.Rizal - the delivery guy from FoodPanda

The delivery guy's name is Mr.Rizal and he has been with the FoodPanda team for the past 6 months. He said he loves his job, though its quite challenging to go through traffic to deliver the food on time. He sometimes need to deliver upto 20 customers a day. Just before he left my place, he also said if I was not satisfied with the delivery or if I had any issues with the service I could contact FoodPanda's Customer Service.
