Best for Hawker Food Cravings: WhyQ
Image SourceWhyQ brings famous Singaporean hawker food to you for just $1.5! These hawker foods are limited to the region you are in (click
here to check your region). From what I see, I could spot at least one famous hawker in each region. So no worries! Order ahead.
Do keep in mind that you’ll have to pay a small delivery fee if your total bill is below $12. You can also order between different stalls as long as they are within the same hawker centre. Hurray!
Special diet: vegetarian-friendly, halal (depending on the hawker centre near you)
Image SourceSGDelivery.Online is a collective of restaurants namely
Cuba Libre Café & Bar,
Shabestan Finest Persian Restaurant,
Pita Tree Mediterranean Kitchen, and
Gabbar Bistro & Bar. Each restaurant offers different cuisine and together they offer a wide range of gluten-free food!
SGDelivery.Online offers islandwide delivery, but the delivery fee will be dependent on your location. On Mondays and Tuesdays certain locations will have free delivery, so do check
their webpage for information. Minimum order applies as well.
Special diet: vegetarian-friendly
Best 24 Hour Food Delivery: Brinda’s
Image SourceHalal, indian cuisine available to you islandwide, 24/7. What more to ask for? Head to Brinda’s to check out their menu.
Special diet: halal
Best Supper Delivery: Geylang Lor 9 Fresh Frog Porridge
Image SourceAnother local favourite --
Geylang Lor 9 Fresh Frog Porridge! Good news is that they deliver islandwide with a flat fee of $7. Order in advance to avoid disappointment!
Opening hours: Monday - Sunday, 12pm - 12am (delivery time within 5-10pm)
Best Korean Food Delivery: Seorae Korean Charcoal BBQ
Image SourceDon’t settle for instant noodles to satisfy your Korean food cravings, do it properly! With
Seorae Korean Charcoal BBQ, you can do so and enjoy free islandwide delivery by ordering more than $39!
To be honest, if you want to feast on good Korean food, your order bill tends to be more than $39. So hitting the minimum order shouldn’t be an issue.
Opening hours: Sunday- Thursday, 11.30am - 10pm and Friday- Saturday, 11.30am - 11pm
Best Sushi & Japanese Food Delivery: Sushi Delivery and Standing Sushi Bar
Image SourceSushi Delivery is especially appealing to me because they promise to deliver your sushi within an hour, at a flat rate of $5.00, no matter where you stay. More importantly, if you think your sushi isn't fresh, they’d change it for you. Knowing that most Japanese food lovers are probably gunning for the sashimi, Sushi Delivery is a life- and tummy-saver. They also offer non-raw options for those who don’t enjoy raw fish!
I’ve also added in a local favourite,
Standing Sushi Bar. Like Sushi Delivery, they also offer delicious Japanese food via islandwide delivery ($9 flat fee -- affordable delivery like how we all like it!). Make sure you order online at least 2 hours in advance to get it on time.
Special diet: vegetarian-friendly (Standing Sushi Bar)
Best Thai Food Delivery: Thai Accent
Image SourceAuthentic thai food with just $5 delivery fee (islandwide delivery)! I've checked:
Thai Accent offers one of the lowest delivery fees for thai food. They don’t really have a website so you can only view their menu through
chope. To order, you’d need to call 6376 9282 or WhatsApp 9678 5854.
Opening hours: Monday - Sunday, 11.30am - 10pm (closes at 9pm during Circuit Breaker)
Special diet: vegetarian-friendly
Best Dim Sum Delivery: Swee Choon Tim Sum Restaurant
Image SourceSingapore classic favourite,
Swee Choon, now offers islandwide delivery for just $5 (minimum order applies).
Opening hours: Mondays- Saturdays, 11am-2.30pm, 6pm- 6am and Sundays 10am-3pm, 6PM-6AM (closed on Tuesday; 10am - 1am daily during Circuit Breaker). *Orders after 9pm will receive an additional 15% discount -- great for supper delivery!
Best Indian Food Delivery: Khansama
Image SourceRecommended by Namita, the founder of Indian Spicebox and author of two cookbooks (she recommends the chicken tikka masala and butter chicken curry)!
Khansama offers free delivery islandwide. It opens till 12.30pm. If you are looking for supper delivery, consider trying this too!
Opening hours: Monday - Sunday, 10am - 12.30pm
Special diet: vegetarian-friendly
Best Birthday Cakes Delivery: Cat & The Fiddle, Fresh Fruit Labs and Sweedy Patisserie
Image SourceI’ve picked
Cat & The Fiddle for its affordable delivery fees and awesome cheesecake (one of my personal favourites). Delivery fee can go as low as $6.90 if you order in advance.
In case you are more of a fruit or chocolate cake person,
Fresh Fruit Labs also offer low delivery fee ($10). Their cakes have been approved by ladyironchef -- enough said.
Lastly, how could I forget the durian cake lovers! That’s why I’ve included
Sweedy Patisserie, which is known for their Mao Shan Wang Mille Crepe. In the month of May 2020, as long as you purchase a whole cake, you can receive a 10% discount and free delivery.

Hope these suggestions trigger your craving for other food, apart from Macdonald delivery! I know Macdonald is great but do give other small eateries a chance as well. Think of it as a way to support them ;)
