5 Tips That Will Ensure Safety While Ordering Food Online!


In those soft mesmerizing rains when the heart pours down as the sky

In those unprecedented moments of happiness which touch more than the known

In those long hectic days of chaos when the peace at end is still hungry

But most often than not, in all those sudden moments of no reason internal cravings

When the aura amazes, when the crazy joy arouses

When you don’t need any reason, When no matter what’s the situation

There is this temptation that feels too good,

 This heart could imagine nothing but Food!

 

As human beings, it has been our directive to sustain ourselves, and for ages we've been doing that by just eating the bare minimum and drinking the most timid of beverages. But not anymore. Today, we truly give in to our cravings. From times immemorial we have been connected by one universal truth: the love for food. For no other love is greater than the love for food as they say! Everything that we thought was supposed to be an extravagant experience that could only be achieved by dining-in at restaurants, has now been brought home to us.

With the creation of restaurants, cafés and hotels, the definition of a gastronomical experience changed. Food became something to be cherished and enjoyed rather than mere a substance for the stomach.  It can be felt when even during the pandemic, most of us crave for our favorite Italian, Chinese, Continental and Indian cuisine. So much so, we started making all of this at home!


HOWEVER, quite frankly you just can't make everything at home, sometimes you don't get the right ingredients, the right recipe, or the right equipment. Sometimes...you just accept the fact that you SUCK as a chef. But the heart still yearns to satiate our cravings. Thus we aim to strive to strike a balance between eating great food and not trying to come in contact with the virus that made you realize you're not part of the 50 close people who are invited to weddings. (YOU KEEP THAT LEHENGA READY!)

Here are 5 tips that will make sure you take the best precautions while ordering food home!

ORDER FROM VERIFIED SOURCES ONLY

Ordering food from verified and trustworthy restaurants becomes extremely important. In these times as hygiene and cleanliness forms our utmost priority, it becomes imperative to have our faith in only those which can ensure and promise us the same. And there's tons of ways you can ensure the same, if ordering via an application, you get to know what measures the restaurant is taking. Be it thermal screening, sanitizing regularly, masks, hand washing and more.


OPT FOR CONTACTLESS DELIVERY

The virus is only spread when you come in contact with someone who is a carrier, this step can be entirely mitigated when you opt for contactless delivery! Specify and open area outside homes or doorstep to enable the rider keep the packed food. From where you can easily pick up. Practice digital payment methods avoiding cash on delivery as well. Else you'd be left asking "KISNE TOUCH KIYA USKO?"


GET RID OF THE PACKAGING!

Why, oh why do you need all that extra packaging? You don't! As soon as the food arrives, take the food out and place it in your own utensils. This ensures you don't come in unnecessary contact with all that external packaging. And even when it comes to the packaging, don't touch it directly, no no. Use disposable gloves or tissues to handle it.

REHEATING AND REPEAT!

To make absolutely sure that your food itself isn't contaminated, make it a practice to heat it for at least 2 minutes before eating it. This heating process will get rid of all existing microbes AND who doesn't enjoy a good meal anyway?


GO FOR DIY KITS!

Still don't trust what they'll send over? Do it yourself! Many restaurants have started their own DIY kits that send across the ingredients for a dish, and all you have to do it assemble it and enjoy! Perch in New Delhi sends across ingredients to make their signature cocktails. How cool is that? There's others sending across ingredients for burgers, tacos and even dal chawal aranchini!


No need to stop your excitement for those delicious recipes, no need to stop cherishing the delight of each bite you wish to have, for we humans have a special trait of taste that we love to savor. Times and situation change, all we need to understand is how to mold certain habits and take certain measures to make your next order completely safe to consume.

THE MINISTRY OF MAGIC - Ministry of Beer: Review

Image
MINISTRY OF BEER, GURGAON They say magic isn't real. They say it's only fables that have kept us believing in this fantasy. I say, you haven't been to Ministry of Beer in Sector 29, Gurgaon yet. It was just the two of us again, my cousin and I, and the next spot on our venture-list was indeed, the biggest property in Gurgaon, Ministry of Beer. Their branch in Connaught Place, the biggest there, hosts a human-sized Bumblebee (the Transformer) which was enough to get me excited about my visit to the one at Gurgaon! But it was a complete overhaul in the experience. From a ravage party based ambience to the one in Connaught Place, the one here had the best of both worlds. A delicate balance between the hip and the heavenly. THE AMBIENCE As soon as you enter the commercial complex at Sector 29, you're in complete awe of the establishments in the vicinity. From My Bar HQ, Molecule Air Bar to the towering Ministry of Beer. There is an aura abou
