When the Govt of Malaysia extended the initial 2 weeks lockdown due to Covid-19, my husband and I felt very strongly about supporting local businesses. We try to (within our means) order take-out, shop at local grocers (not the big-chain ones) and buy direct from the farmers at Cameron Highlands.
Picha Eats’s story touched us and we placed our order even though we were pretty certain that we won’t like the food, haha! We are just not the adventurous type where food is concerned. We tend to stick to our same old chinese and western cuisine. Why order then? We wanted to be a part of Pichaeats’ “rebuilds lives.”
Ordering was simple and straightforward. Their customer service was articulate, prompt and professional in answering all my questions. They even went out of their way to cater to my “quirky needs.”
Delivery was done within the time promised. What impressed me the most was their thoughtfulness in packing their food. They used extra-tight containers for gravy and sauces, glad-wrapped the containers (for stews) to minimise spillages etc.
How was the food? We ordered Mona’s Palestinian Set. We didn’t know what to expect but we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We were kind of shocked to be honest. It was different from the usual food that we normally consume but it tasted wholesome and was actually delicious!! This was our first order which was on 9th April 2020. Oh ... we ordered brownies and rum baba. They were sooooo good, hit all the right spots!
We loved our first experience so much that we ordered again on 14th April 2020. This time we ordered drug rice and lamb stew. Super yummy delicious!! And for desserts, we ordered lemon poppyseed cake on top of brownies and rum baba. For my family; brownies, lemon poppyseed cake and rum baba are must haves in our my fridge especially with the lockdown and social distancing @$&’no%#.
We placed our third order .... not going to reveal what we ordered. Go, hop over to their website now and start ordering! You are missing out if you don’t!
