ozimoron Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) After not eating for a week I have a sudden craving for roast chicken but I can't buy it near me. It occurs to me that I should start to use food delivery services more often, The main reason I don't is that I don't really know where to order from. In your opinion, which is the most reliable and best price delivery service and where could I find menus and restaurants that use them. I'm fishing for favourite recommendations.

Peterw42 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Grab and food panda are probably the two main ones, they both have apps and websites with all the menus and choices. Photos of food etc. Its a very easy process and usually very quick delivery.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozimoron Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) Grab not accepting cash, no way I'm going to enable grab pay. Searching for "european roast chicken" on Panda is a joke, 600 restaurants listed, none of them are european. If I try a restaurant search for "sportsman's bar" I get 68 restaurants, none of them are sportsman's bar.

bbi1 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 "After not eating for a week" - you survived on only water for a week? I don't think I could do that purely for weight loss. Two small meals per day is the most I could go down to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Grab food delivery DOES accept cash. I use it often and just checked again, though I usually pay by debit card. I think if you get on their blacklist for bad behavior they can cut out your cash option, but otherwise, no problema. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never used them and their website said "payment method not accepted" when I selected cash. I didn't use the mobile app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Beni's does a decent roast chicken but I think it's Friday's only by booking (also roast potatoes). They do their own delivery. Beni’s food restaurant, Pattaya City - Restaurant reviews (restaurantguru.com) Nicky's on Soi Buakow does a 1/2 chicken for Sunday roast. On Grab or Panda or both, I forget which. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskerDo2 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I've never used a food delivery service and never will. You never know what the delivery person might be doing to it. You might get someone whose boss just <deleted> them off or they just like spitting in other people food. There was a news story not long ago where there was video of a kid spitting on someones hotdog while preparing it at a major league baseball game. The kid was arrested but there was no way to know who the lucky person was that got the hotdog. My rule is, if I'm hungry enough I'll go get it myself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same kind of thing could happen in restaurants. A friend of mind once told me that he regularly farted on the pies of a locally famous restaurant (that my family regularly went to). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At my condo the customer comes to the lobby. I don't think the security guards allow them in and many condos have card or other keyless entry.

redwood1 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Panda is the best app......Plus they have pretty nice discounts of almost 100 baht very often.. Grab and Line are about the same.....S-loads of written Thai.....And loads of Thai food.. The way to use the apps is spend one day looking through them and saving your favorites......No need to look through them any more..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwood1 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I forgot to say on Panada you can also collect points that will give you more discounts on food... The best deal on Grab is very often Central Festival food court will have a whopping 120 baht discount on food if ordered through Grab.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
