[chubbysan]

Hi

Does anyone know if there is such services in HK - Delivery of daily home cooked food to residence house? I be moving to HK soon with 2 kids and worried that I might not have time for cooking. So wondering if there is such services in HK whereby food caterer deliver home-cooked food to your house.

Thanks,

Felicia

Felicia,

It might be easier to find a part-time helper who can cook. There are a few legal part-time helpers in the classifieds

Or there's always https://www.foodbyfone.net

hi Chubbysan,

Being a Singaporean as well, I know perfectly what you meant by home delivery of cooked lunch and dinners.

Sad to inform you that there is no such services in HK.. as I have searched high and low for such services when I first arrived in HK as well.

It may be best to employ a full time helper here to do the cooking and the washing...I cannot imagine life with a kid and no helper.

There are several companies that will deliver cooked food from restaurants, e.g. food by fone (as mentioned by Rani) and also Dial a Dinner and Cuisine Courier.
You can get their contact details from yellow pages/1081 and they will send you a book of dishes that they deliver.
There is also, I believe, a new company that delivers home made soup (sorry can't remember the name).
If you speak Cantonese or have a friend that does many local restaurants will also deliver cooked good if in the immediate vicinity.

There is also a healthy food store on the escalator in soho, I think it's called eat right. They have a service where a dietician assesses your goals (lose weight, gain weight, more nutrition etc) and then plans a menu for you. They then cook and deliver all your meals.

Hi,

I came from Sg too and we don't have that kind of service here.

I don't like to order restaurant food everyday, so i look for a part time helper to come to my house for one hour a day to prepare the meal, she goes to the market/grocery before coming to my place. Cook, wash the pots then off she goes.

Any suggestions for how to find a part time helper for a few times a week? How much is the cost/hr?

Thanks.
