From snacks to high end feasts, stay safe indoors and simply order in from these selection of restaurants while under quarantine.
Malaysians all over the country just rolled over after the announcement of the extension of MRO that will be stretching on until the 14th April. That means we won’t be able to satisfy our desires for café-hopping or enjoying the ambience of a restaurant anytime soon. It also doesn’t help when panicked folks are frantically stockpiling and clearing out the shelves at grocery stores. As fellow foodies, this hits harder for all of us.
Fret not, these 10 establishments are now open to delivery and/or takeaway services to curb those appetites while you’re under home quarantine. So whether you’re in the mood for something French and fancy, or prefer a lowkey yet cosy meal with familiar flavours – or just simply can’t cook to save your life, take a gander below at which restaurants are now reaching out to you and your appetite.
BABE
If you’re craving for high end Japanese cuisine with a modern twist, it’s impossible to not include Babe by Jeff Ramsay. Think premium comfort food that echoes the flavours of Japan, with offerings such as their Wagyu Katsu Sando set, or Ootoro Don.View their menu here.
