8 Durian FTW!

Sponsored Review

Are you a durian lover? Well, I am! And during this circuit breaker season in Singapore, we have seen an increase in food delivery and it's the same for Durian. Just go online and do a google search, you will be surprise to find more than a dozen website offering delivery services for the king of fruits - durian!

So I am not here to pursue you to eat durian cos I know you are already "hooked" like me.

But why 8 Durian? Here are a few reasons to choose 8 Durian:

1. They have their own durian plantation in Pahang, Malaysia.

If you have been eating durian for a while, you must have heard of Pahang durians. This place is famous for producing the best durians arguably in the world. They are so confident in their durians, 8 Durian is even offering their Grade A Pahang Durian to durian sellers looking for reliable wholesaler.

2. A 24-hour WhatsApp Chat & 60-min Delivery promise.

Now this is what I call customer service! You can be sure someone on the other side is ready to hear you and answer your queries.

3. Voted #1 by customers.

8 Durian was voted #1 in the "Best Durian Delivery in Singapore 2019" by Best In Singapore blog.

4. Replacement or Full Refund policy.

100% replacement guarantee or full refund via store credits for unsatisfactory deliveries.

(late delivery for more than 1 hour / water durians / frozen durians when fresh durians were ordered / weight of package deviating more than 50g)

5. You can check on the stock status and pricing daily.

I love it that all the information is clearly stated on their website, no need to second guess or going through the troublesome phone calls or sms texts.

6. The taste is authentic and excellent!

Saving the best for last! I have tried many different online durian delivery service, this is by far the best in terms of durian quality. Of course, personally I still prefer to buy my durians from the stall and see the durian fruit for myself, but in times like this, when most items are going online, this is my recommendation.

You can see that the packaging is slightly chilled to maintain the freshness of the durian. It is not frozen, so for those who likes your durians from the fridge, this is like the best! Chilled but not frozen.

 

I love to see all my durians in one box, gives the feeling that I can enjoy much!

Thankfully, I have the elder girl who inherited the same love and passion!

Stop thinking, start eating! Order here!

Beat the 5-pax rule with sushidelivery.sg!

So Singapore has entered Phase 2 after Circuit Breaker. How has it affected your lifestyle?

For most of us, we are happy to finally meet up with friends and dine-in in our favorite restaurants. Or just happy to host friends and relatives at home. BUT ... the catch is no more than 5-pax per visit or meet up.

For a family that has more than 5 pax, this rule is definitely gonna to make things a bit uncomfortable. Can you imagine who you will leave out for dinner? Or who will be the chosen ones to brave the crowd outside, not mentioning the super long queues almost everywhere.

For me, with 2 kids and an elderly at home, going out and mingle with the crowd is still something I have to be more cautious about. Maybe you can call me "kiasi" but I have to take care of my family, until they feel safe enough to go out as a group.

Hence, the solution of ordering in is still pretty much appealing!

Some of you may already have heard of sushidelivery.sg or even tried their food. The company prides themselves as daily delivery within an hour, with Premier Sushi right at your doorstep.

Just in case you doubt my credits (but I know you won't right?), you can read an article posted by Best In Singapore. Sushi Delivery is one of the top 5 best online sushi delivery services in Singapore!

As always, enough talking. Let the photos tell you more!

California Maki (8pcs)

The overall family's favorite, a great choice for take away or picnics.

Champion Floss Maki (8pcs)

Not a personal fan of floss, but the floss on this maki is not overwhelming. In fact the cheese overpowers the floss, so if you are cheese lover, you can't miss this.

Salmon Aburi Maki (8pcs)

This tastes expensive if you know what I mean, the salmon just melts in your mouth. I highly recommend eating one piece in full to stimulate your taste bugs in total.

Chicken Karaage (8pcs)

Sake Salmon Don

The salmon is simply awesome! Coupled with the tobiko, furikake and spring onions, this is a sure winner for all!

Pork Cutlet Set Bento

Salmon Teriyaki Set Bento

No fishy smell as commented by my mom. She loved it together with the generous helping of greens that came alongside in the bento.

I have the say the kids love the bento! It was a full meal with rice, sides and vegetable. And both girls commented that the Pork Cutlet tasted just like one they had in Japan a few years back =)

For me, it will be the Don that won my stomach. So here's another photo to justify my personal choice!

Stay safe everyone and enjoy the time with your family!

Father's Day - What about 8 Crabs?

Sponsored Review

In less than 2 weeks' time it's gonna be Father's Day! Have you thought of how to celebrate with/for your father? Sadly with the current situation in Singapore, dining out at your favorite restaurants are no longer an option. Hence, the only way is to "tabao" or order food delivery. Whatever it may be, don't let the circumstances deter us from having a good time of celebration with our families.

Thanks to the folks from 8 Crabs, I was able to enjoy my own Father's Day meal with my family and with the best food possible - CRABS!!

For those who are not familiar with 8 Crabs, of if you are like me (only know the usual seafood restaurants in SG), then it's high time for you to give them a try.

8 Crabs is an award winning crab delivery and seafood delivery service serving Singaporeans island-wide. Being the only supplier of wild catch crabs, they have always been able to promise you crabs that are better than the rest.

If you are interested to know more about their crabs, here are some fun facts:

Crabs naturally travel about 500m every night and prefer to live alone. However, crab farmers breed many crabs in a confined space in order to be profitable. This cause the crabs to get stressed very easily in captivity as many farms cannot replicate their natural habitat.

When stressed, crabs produce ammonia, which is a sign of decomposition of seafood.

Most restaurants purchase farmed crabs because they are cheaper. As a result, they use highly fragrant gravies to cover up the ammonia smell.

8 Crabs is the only company in Singapore using grade AAA premium Sri Lankan source wild crabs. This is graded by the most experienced crab graders in the trade.

This means that our crabs are meatier, tastier, bigger, and less watery.

To ensure freshness, these crabs are caught, flown, prepared and delivered to you within 12 hours.

Our award winning chefs prepare and cook these fresh crabs daily to guarantee the best flavor and taste.

We also have a one day driver to an order policy across our 12 kitchens island-wide so that we may uphold our promise of One Hour Crab Delivery.

Are you ready for the feast? We most certainly are!

We ordered both the Black Pepper Crab & the Salted Egg Yolk Crab.

The salted egg yolk sauce was so good, we had an extra portion of rice just so we can savor the taste again and again.

No meal is complete without the basic vegetable and meat. We even pamper ourselves (mainly for the wife) and had a rare treat of the Yam Ring.

But since it was suppose to be an advance Father's Day celebration for me, I will show you my personal favorite! Look at the sauce! I think I need to order from 8 Crabs again!

Ordering is easy.

Just go the website and browse through the selection of crabs, fish, prawn, squid, beef, pork, poultry, vegetable, egg, tofu, etc.

If you do not know what to order, then just choose the special Father's Day Set.
