Check out our pick of goodies you can get delivered to your door:
FOOD – TRADITIONAL TAKE AWAY

FOOD – SOMETHING MORE GOURMET
Preparazzi
Chef prepared meals ready to cook, eat and savour meaning you too can throw together a fine-dining experience in the comfort of your own home without the fuss or fluff – that’s what Preparazzi is all about. Just looking at their Gourmet Meal Box menu had us salivating – we’re talking Miso Cod, Grilled Cumin Prawns and Red Wine Beef Stew amongst many other tempting options!
Check out the website for Preparazzi for more information.
The Big Sheila
Fancy tucking into gourmet western home-style food for your lunch or dinner from this favourite Eastie eatery? Well good news because you can fill your fridge full of their scrumptious food with just a few clicks. The good folks at The Big Sheila will even suggest a wine to go with each dish so that you can have a perfectly matched glass of wine to wash your meal down with. You can check out our review of the restaurant here for a snapshot of what to expect.

The Barbie Girls
No we’re not talking dress up dolls here – more delicious, succulent meat from Australia and New Zealand. These chicks are hot contenders to The Butcher offering fresh lamb, beef, pork, poultry as well as sausages and burgers, at prices cheaper than the butchers and supermarkets. A no brainer? We think so!
Check out the website for The Barbie Girls for more information and to order.
DRINK
Wine
It usually makes a lot of sense to order your wine online, rather than buy it at a retail price where you will undoubtedly be paying significantly over the odds for a much more limited selection. Having tried and tested the various websites covering this space in SG, our firm favourites for selection and usability are EWine Asia, The Local Nose and Straits Wines. Check out our guide to the best websites for buying wines online here.

If craft and speciality beers are your thing, your go-to is the Thirsty online beer shop which has a full catalogue of beers available online organized by beer style. You can find out a little bit more about what to expect from our review here. Also worth checking out is The Drinking Partners who have a range of Belgian beers available for purchase through their webstore here.

Alcohol in a hurry!
OK the goods on sale here are way more mainstream, but if you have a party going down and you’re running out of supplies, well heck what are you gonna do? Call Alcohol Delivery who will get beers, wines and spirits to your door in 1 hour, that’s what!
