Three Hong Kong meal delivery services helping the homebound stay healthy
- Nosh, Nutrition Kitchen and Eatology delivery healthy, well-balanced meals to your door designed with the help of nutritionists
- Boutique meal providers report a spike in customers after restaurant closures and work-from-home orders prompted by the coronavirus outbreak
If ever there was a time to eat healthily, it’s now. A nutritious, well-balanced diet is the cornerstone of a strong immune system, which can help people fight the coronavirus.
Don’t worry. A host of healthy meal delivery services are at hand.
Boutique delivery meal providers have seen a drop in demand from regular customers in offices and schools, but are reporting an uptake of new ones, many of whom are requesting home deliveries.
Pete Fisher, who founded Nutrition Kitchen in Hong Kong in 2015 before expanding it to Singapore 18 months ago, says the firm has seen a spike in first-time orders.
“People are looking at us as a solution to a specific set of problems brought about by the virus. People are busy home-schooling kids, getting very stressed. They probably don’t have time to think about where the next meal comes from,” he says.
“It removes a lot of stress of going out, sourcing ingredients, especially when there are issues around food security and the risks of standing in a line in the supermarket.”
