Meal Delivery Service: Alternative to Healthy Food By Mint

[Decaptcher]

I'm looking for a subscription meal delivery service as an alternative to Healthy Food By Mint that covers the San Pa Pao sub district, specifically Thanaporn Park Home5.

 

I've been using them for a couple of months in my current location. Not a single problem, but unfortunately they do not cover that area.

 

Just to be clear:

 

• I already use Foodpanda / Grab / Tuk, but I'm looking for something that would get me covered from Monday to Friday, set and forget.
• Not looking for in-house cook. At least, as a last resort I would be open to get someone to shop for ingredients, cook meals and freeze for 1-2 weeks, but seems a bit of a hassle so I'd like to avoid it.
• I've seen Muscle Meals CNX, but haven't contacted them yet. Anyone tried them?

 

In general, the healthier the food, the better (Chicken breast, vegetables, etc.). I don't have any particular needs honestly, just trying to eat less like an animal ????.

I have been on a Healthy 7-11 diet lately.  they also deliver if that helps you.

Suggest the OP to contact Aseannow sales for future marketing attempts of "Healthy Food By Mint".

 

Though, admittedly, had I lived in CNX, I might give it a shot.

 

More masking, Decaptcher... don't make it such an obvious advertising attempt.

I thought that me making a whole post about looking for a soundproof condo in the past days would be enough cover? ????

 

Anyway, jokes aside, serious recommendations please? I'm looking for some options.

OK.

 

Here are my suggestions:

 

a.  Buy a breadmaker machine. Buy bread flour. Bake your own bread.

b.  Buy a large Panasonic rice cooker.  Cook your own rice.

c.  Buy eggs. You can buy 120 chicken eggs for a fraction of the cost you might pay for two deliveries of food on a motorbike.

d.  Buy a large refrigerator where you can store food.

e.  Use your large refrigerator's freezer compartment to store about 10 pounds of broccoli. This vegetable is both healthy and tasty, and freezes well.

f.  Buy soy sauce, fish sauce, hot sauce, and other sauces.

g.  Buy 60 cans of tuna, either oil packed or packed in spring water.

h.  Buy a few liters of high grade cooking oil.

i.   Find a nearby eatery which will sell you omelettes, and buy 10 glong. Each glong should have one omelette.  And each omelette should have 5 eggs.

 

If you are satisfied with eating tuna, omelettes, freshly baked bread, broccoli, and soybean oil, every day, then you should have no difficulties.

 

I would not suggest to you anything that I am not willing to do myself.

 

Eggs are healthy.

 

You should have more of them.

 

Good luck.

Meals on wheels cover your area, but I don't think they have a subscription service as such..........................It's been going about 15 years I think now............................

Cool. I cook all my food, as I have developed the understanding that Thai food was real bad food. Nobody knows how to cook healthy here.

But then, what you propose here is so subjective that it just means nothing.

 

h.  Buy a few liters of high grade cooking oil. What does that mean to you???

For me, it means coconut oil, or pure virgin olive oil. In Thailand, it means the cheapest oil that one can get.  I also use a bit of 100% Sesame oil for an added flavor.

 

f.  Buy soy sauce, fish sauce, hot sauce, and other sauces.

 

I will never buy any of the bottled sauces, as they just about all contain 20% to 30% of added sugar. I cook with no sugar at all only. My philosophy is: If you cannot make your own sauce from scratch, get out of the kitchen.

The cook is the one who can make a sauce from scratch.

In Thailand, the cook is Tesco Lotus, and Super Cheap, where most of these bottled sauces come from.

Not a bad recommendation. I probably won't go as far as to buy a refrigerator, but I used to cook food in 1-week batches a long time ago here and it took about 2-3 hours once per week.

Was mostly chicken breasts, brown rice, tuna, that sort of thing.

 

If I don't find any other solution I'll go back to that. I'll still keep looking around.

Wait - what? Did 7-Eleven start delivering in Chiang Mai? I haven't checked for 6 months but the app used to say not available here.

A bit ridiculous, since you can buy all of the high quality oils that you mention in Thailand; plus you can buy sauces without added sugar....

What are you saying ?

Of course SOME cooks use MSG, old oil, yadda yadda yadda

But some only use fresh organic produce, olive oil, fresh meat and fish.

Suggest you get out more and find the good restaurants.

I ate breakfast in one of my all time favorite places this morning.

Glass noodles with basil, mixed veg, sour sausage, Hom Mali Mai (Thai jasmine rice), sweet green curry, fried eggs.  Delicious.

60 baht - try making it yourself for that price

[NancyL]

We have meals delivered three times weekly by Brian Pern and Pong.  They used to run Pern's Bistro on Huay Kaew Road across from the Shell Petrol Station, but now they just operate an evening meal delivery service out of their home on M-W-F evenings.  If you sign up for their e-mail list you'll receive an email the day before with the ability to order one of three or four offerings for the next day, delivered between 5 - 7 pm, you have some ability to select the time.

 

Everything is very healthy and there is usually one keto-friendly option.  Often we order enough for the second day when we are "on our own" and have to create our own dinner.  [email protected]

Teens and their "hoodlum friends" (all straight A's) staying over on a Sat night can't resist the midnight 10min walk to experience a 7/11 Gourmet Buffet to go.  The sound of cracking packaging reverberates through out the house...

Yes.  The breakfast you describe sounds delicious.

Well I did get out a lot actually. But I perhaps omitted the location, which is Phuket.

I have been here for some 15 years now, and I did try to find a good restaurant.

MSG is bad only for people who have an allergy to it.

No such place here where olive oil is used for cooking, none. Old oil is used regularly in open markets. Bad, real bad.

Sweet green curry, bad, real bad.

Of course glass noodles are ok, but someone adding basil, some curry laced with sugar does not make that individual a cook.

People cooking in Phuket simply heat up some good food elements, then start adding some sugary components from a store.

I walked all over Phuket town, and asked 'do you have any food without sugar'. The answer is 'no'.

When the answer is yes, then you ask, what sauce to you use, the answer is 'bottled sauce from Super Cheap', with 20% to 30% sugar inside.

I asked about a Pad Thai meal advertised outside, loaded with sugar. I asked one restaurant about the red sauce that they used, the answer was 'It is ketchup'. What a cook.

I have stopped to trust these people cooking, and even those making curry to sell at markets, I do not trust what they put inside, and I do not trust how often they remix the old curry to the fresh batch.

When I explained to a cook in town, how I made my own sauce, he simply replied, I cannot use these ingredients in my sauce, too expensive for an 80 baht dish.

I do not have sugar in my apartment at all, and no bottled sauces from any store.

A friend of mine staying in Phuket also stopped eating out. He said to me 'for so many years here, I thought that I was eating healthy. Lots of information on nutrition on the Net. Doctors, nutritionists...

Finding a meal 'delicious' is definitely not a proof of good nutrition.

Yes, one can buy high quality cooking oils here, which is what I do.

But no restaurants will...

Well, I do not know about Phuket. Tourist trap is what I found.

Find it hard to believe that there are no good cooks on the whole island.

But seems you are looking for what can only be achieved if you cook it.

I like lean licious cost around 85bt per box and 1 box does it for me its not much but im full. Works great for me.

Posting an update, since I've contacted Muscle Meals CNX.

 

They don't cover my area either, but told me that one of their clients who used to live here had the meals handed over to a Grab driver. The total cost would be 300 bath per week (3 deliveries per week).

 

Haven't decided yet, but seems like a good compromise.
