Food delivery by our favourite fast food outlets is the best thing that ever happened after “teh tarik tongkat ali”! Its awesome…you get to make one phone call and your have instant joy! The food delivery has been dominated by the pizza outlets for a long time and of late the latest addition to the party is our favourite burgers.

I started utilizing this service since they had their soft launch long time ago..When they first started, the biggest issue i had was the extremely long wait time to get someone knocking at your door with a bundle of joy..Imagine this,you come home after a hard days of work..You don’t have food at home so you pick up the phone and call for your “value meal” which consist a burger ,a drink and a small box of oil sticks and cost you 12 bucks(i can get a whole banana leaf rice with multiple dishes by the side) So much for value but since your tired and just don’t have the energy after work,you order it…Then the real helpful person who’s command of English is as good as “Hello sir can i be of helping you” says…Your food will be there in 30-45minutes. .and when they say 30-45minutes, they actually mean 30-45mins if your lucky!!

By the time the food reaches you,your not hungry anymore cause the gastric juices has already invaded the vacant tummy of yours and the oil sticks look like they were fried a week ago! Anyway…i guess that’s the way it is isn’t it?

My record time waiting for the meal to arrive was nearly 2hours(apparently they couldn’t decide which outlet was closest to my house, and asking me was obviously a insult to their intelligence so they didn’t)

Whats your longest wait time???

The latest outcome i had was about a couple of weeks ago when i was starving,i called them and they toke my order then told me..”oh,i’m sorry sir we cant deliver”,so i ask them why? Apparently it was raining near the outlet where my food was coming from and they cant deliver!! I look out of my balcony at the blazing sun and tell the kind lady on the other end,its hot here..what rain you talking about?? Her response was…….sorry!!

That was a new one for me to digest and i decided since, if i wanted to call for my food,i better be holding more then one menu..The consumer has lost the power and now the eateries decided who they want to sell too or not! Amazing isn’t it!!
