Dah Makan Online Food Order

I never have full confidence in online food delivery as previous experiences had left a bad taste behind. Same goes with so-called home-cooked daily food catering. Maybe I am persnickety but that’s just my girls and me. We’ve had enough of bad experiences to even trust online food delivery now.

When I was approached by Dah Makan online food delivery to give their healthy menu a try, I was pretty apprehensive too. But looking at the pictures and ingredients  used in the Dah Makan website, I was pretty impressed. Being a health freak who is very anal with what goes into my food, I was impressed that Dah Makan serves only healthy food with  healthy ingredients and herbs used.

Dah Makan whips up only one specialised dish each day, for lunch and dinner. This makes it easier for quality control and the chef only has one dish to focus on each day. Thus, the quality and taste of the food are superior.

Ordering online from Dah Makan was a breeze for me. The website is very easy to navigate.

On the day that my lunch box was to be delivered to me, it rained in the late morning. A customer service rep. emailed me to inform me that my order will be slightly late due to bad weather. Nonetheless, my lovely lunch box was delivered to me by 12 noon.

The packaging was pretty impressive too and came with a set of disposable plastic cutlery.

Within minutes that it arrived, my 3 girls, as famished as feral dogs did  not even bother to use the cutlery provided and pecked on the food with their bare hands!

The chicken was really flavorsome and my girls and I just couldn’t stop pecking on the chicken with our bare hands haha!  Within minutes, the entire box  of food was gobbled down. Even the sauce that came with it was tasty and was suggestive that everything was prepared with much thoughts and effort, with care given on ingredients used.

Check out the chestnut and parmesan stuffing on each slice of chicken. Mmmmm, I liked that!

Our Friday (Eve Of Alycia’s 12th Birthday) – 4 December 2015

Breakfast of roti telur, tosei rawa, tosei tisu and teh tarik with Susan koo por (grandaunt Susan) at a mamak restaurant…

Image may contain: 4 people

Then did some shopping for our trip at Guardian Pharmacy and more shopping for some items requested by SILs and MIL in HK.

Later, Alycia and Sherilyn went to Mid Valley Megamall with grandaunt Susan and granduncle James to watch a movie – The Hunger Games : Mocking Jay Part 2.  Just a moment ago, Alycia called me to inform me that they are watching another movie with grandaunt and granduncle. That sure is a movie marathon for them! They’re going to have dinner at Mid Valley, which leaves Cass and I to have dinner ourselves with another grandaunt later at a nearby eatery 🙂

Deciding Whether Weight Loss Surgery is the Best Solution for You

Weight loss surgery is easier to obtain than ever before. But, like with any surgery, there’s always an element of risk that comes with it. You can’t expect to use surgery as a way to avoid developing the habits of a good diet and regular exercise. Unlike what many people think, this is not a quick fix.

We’re going to go through some of the ways you can determine whether weight loss surgery is for you.

Have You Tried the Natural Way?

The natural method of losing weight is to alter your diet and to partake in regular exercise. If you haven’t already attempted this, weight loss surgery isn’t for you.

What you have to understand is that weight loss surgery will only provide you with the foundation to lose weight. If you go back to your old habits, you’ll put that weight back on again.

Can You Afford It?

The National Health Service (NHS) will not pay for your surgery unless it’s considered urgent to save your life. And if you’re too overweight they’ll physically refuse to give you surgery because it could endanger your health.

Your only option, if you don’t qualify, is to pay for it yourself. Not only do you have to pay for surgery, but you have to pay for your living expenses during the recovery stage. Think about whether using companies such as themoneyhub.co.uk is right for you.

Bear in mind that surgery can cost thousands.

Will You React in the Right Way?

As already mentioned, weight loss surgery is not a solution for everyone. If you can’t keep the weight off, surgery will only delay the inevitable. You must be sure that you’re in the right mind-set prior to undergoing surgery.

This is why so many doctors demand their patients show that they can lose weight before they recommend and authorise surgery. It’s rarely to do with something physical, it’s a demonstration that the surgery will be worthwhile.

Do You have Proper Plans in Place for Recovery?

Weight loss surgery doesn’t have a long recovery time attached to it. It can take a matter of days before a patient is free to get back to work again. During this time, you should have contingency plans in place.

If you’re in the middle of a busy spell at work, you may not have the time available to take off, for example. We also don’t recommend going home if you don’t have anyone to take care of you. In the event you experience complications, you need someone who can take you to your doctor.

This is why you should have plans in place to visit a family member or a friend for a short period of time.

A Big Decision

It’s a big decision to go under the knife. This is not a decision to take lightly. Think about surgery and liaise with your doctor. If you believe you’re ready to take this big step in life, begin consultations with your doctor and follow their recommendations on the matter.
