Lunch delivery from HiFive Chicken

If you check my recent posts, I have been eating way too many fried chicken. We had some from Church's Chicken earlier into the work-from-home mandate. Then, I ordered some from Juke Fried Chicken to support local restaurants.

Today, we decided to use Uber Eats and order from Hi Five Chicken. It's our first time trying it out and the fried chicken arrived hot, crispy, and juicy. I love it!

We ordered the following:
  • 4-pc regular roasted chicken
  • 4-pc spicy fried chicken
  • 10-pc cheddar cheese munchers
  • 16oz (Large) potato wedges
  • Gravy
We ate a couple of the fried chicken, the munchers, and the potato wedges. The rest of the chicken went to containers and straight to the fridge for reheating tomorrow and possibly even the day after.

I'm ready to eat you chicken thigh. Yummy!


I'm not good at plating and don't want to touch the food because of COVID-19, so sorry for this realistic photo of our lunch.

Happy Saturday!

Lunch from Meinhardt Fine Foods

I went to the grocery earlier. I want to say that I'm scared and paranoid, but in reality, I'm realistic and cautious. There's not a lot of people outside, so physical distancing is possible. I smiled at everyone I saw today, and almost everyone did the same.

I went to Meinhardt Fine Food to grab ingredients to cook Pork Nilaga (onion soup), which I can cook tomorrow, and we can eat for a week. I also grabbed a couple of ready to eat items: Palak Paneer and Chicken Tandoori.

It was so delicious. Meinhardt gives you wipes when you enter so you can use it with your basket, then the cashier gave me a pump of sanitizer before I grab my bag ready to leave. It was a pleasant experience.

After Meinhardt, I went to Shoppers Drug Mart a block away. I grabbed frozen chicken nuggets, biscuits, cream cheese, and bagel. It was a quick swift trip.

 I walked a few more blocks to see hubby walking towards me to help with the plastic bags. The only people who didn't observe physical distancing are two ladies. I moved out of the way so they can walk freely, but one lady still walked way closer to me.

Lunch from New India Buffet + Bar & Restaurant

April Fool's day is the longest day we've been out of the house. We were out for nearly 2 hours - running errands.

Cherry Blossoms trees in full bloom in our block.

We went to RBC all the way near Cambie (1.7km) to withdraw coins. You're silly, coins are not "essential." Well, for renters like us, we need coins to do laundry. After getting coins, we grabbed groceries from Shoppers. Then, we decided to order online for pick-up 4-5 days worth of Indian food from New India Buffet + Bar & Restaurant.

I've never eaten here, but I definitely will once this COVID-19 situation is over.



It's beautiful inside. We ordered chicken vindaloo, beef saag (spinach), aloo gobi (potato and cauliflower), and fish masala. It's so delicious!

Dinner delivery from Juke Fried Chicken

It's a happy Tuesday! Hubby said yes to ordering fried chicken and tomorrow, we'll pick up 5 days worth of food from New India Buffet + Bar & Restaurant.

We'll be out for a couple of hours running errands (yes, we need to go to the bank too - coins are needed for laundry). Then, we'll be staying home again for the next week.

Praying that a vaccine for COVID-19 is invented soon.

Cheers to supporting small and local restaurants and their employees in these difficult times.

Lunch delivery from Broadway Chinese Restaurant

Hubby and I are blessed to have work in these difficult times. We both work in the tech industry, and as such, we can work from home. We get to keep our salaries, benefits, and everything that goes with it. Not everyone is as lucky.

I always ask myself, how can we help. With the economy down, we need to help keep money going around.

Today, I placed an order on Skip The Dishes from Broadway Chinese Restaurant. It's a small business in our neighbourhood. Skip also has the option to tip the restaurant, which I did. I ordered A LOT of food, more than enough for us to eat over the weekend up to early next week.

I also gave a 20% tip to the Skip The Dishes driver. What's the point of this post? My point is if you did not lose your job and are still earning, please spend a bit more to help those small businesses and their employees. With my purchase today, I helped the restaurant, the delivery person, and Skip The Dishes.

Let's help each other keep the economy going.

Our food arrived right on time and as soon as I opened the plastic bag, this is written outside.

Thank you so much!!! <3

Dinner delivery from The Canadian Brewhouse

To celebrate my sister's birthday, we ordered food from The Canadian Brewhouse for delivery at home. The food was surprisingly delicious. I can't wait for restaurants to be open again so we can come here and try the food.

Lunch delivery from Church's Chicken

Day 7 of mostly staying at home. Since last Monday, we've only been out of the house to grab groceries, then go back home. Today, I needed my fried chicken fix, and thankfully, Church's Chicken is on SkipTheDishes.

What's inside the bag? Church's Chicken!

Butter Biscuit and Chicken Strips

I tried the biscuit for the first time, and now I understand why people on Twitter are raving about this thing. It's so delicious.
