5 Daily Catering Options in Jakarta
The ongoing pandemic has rendered many people working from home (WFH). For those of you who don’t cook for whatever reasons (e.g. too busy, can’t cook, etc.), daily catering could be the answer. Aside from those doing WFH, those who do come to the office might feel reluctant to dine out due to health concern. Hence, daily catering could also be the answer for them.
Disclaimer: I know many people who prepare their own food and bring it to the office. Yet, in case you are too busy to cook or you just can cook (the two excuses I always cite!), daily catering is a good alternative.
So, here are some daily catering options for you in Jakarta (and its suburbs). The list is a combination of healthy food, vegan food, or home-cooked food to cater (pun-intended) a wider audience.
1. Super Grain (@thesupergrain)
You are probably familiar with this brand as the brand also has some outlets in the malls. Aside from the outlets, it also has daily catering services and it could also cater your virtual event (I have personally tried it). The concept of this brand is healthy food but healthy does not mean it has come to the expense of the taste. So, it makes it its mission to provide yummy healthy food. Super Grain has selection of appetizer (soup or skewer), main course, dessert, and juice. So, you can eat healthy, feel full, and enjoy the food at the same time. To make it easier to enjoy, you can order through here.
2. Vegenzy Kitchen (@vegenzykitchen)
This is a healthy, plant-based catering. It promotes vegan food for your health, whether you are already experiencing some health issues or you want to maintain healthy life-style for your long term investment. Interestingly, the caterer also campaigns for environmental issues. Eating meat promotes the livestock industry which is a significant contributor to environmental pollution. Being vegan also means you are more animal friendly. Hence, if you have a soft spot for these issues, you could be a part-time vegan as Vegenzy Kitchen proposes. The caterer is positioned in Jakarta, Tangerang Selatan, and Bogor. It also offers free delivery and fruits!
3. Homey Catering (@homey_catering)
For those of you in Jakarta and Tangerang and are craving for homey food, this could be your go-to catering. The caterer provides you with 1-month menu, excluding weekends and public holiday, with a minimum order for 5 days. It also offers discount if you order more than 1 package. This is a good excuse to get your office buddies to join. This could come in handy when you are in a meeting and unable to pick up the food on your own. The pricing is very reasonable, especially when it includes the delivery fees.
4. Rasa Nyonya (@rasanyonya)
Aside from the usual lunch or dinner box, Rasa Nyonya provides option for home packages where it offers 3 kind of food without rice. This is a good option if you are considering catering for your family and you could cook your own rice (unlike me!). The main menu will be Indonesian and Chinese food, but it does offer Western food once in a while, all without MSG. It is worth noting that for around 2.5 months, you will not get the same menu. The caterer also promises on-time delivery. I know that not having access to your food when you are hungry could affect your emotional condition. So, on-time is good.
5. Lokana (@lokana.id)
When you love Indonesian food and you want to go on a diet, you usually face some difficulties. Indonesians like fried food. We put a lot of sugar and salt in our food, and not too mention we love our coconut milk too. Yet, Lokana here claims that it provides Indonesian food for those of you who want to go on a diet. Each meal box will only contain 400–550 calories of no-MSG Indonesian food. Nevertheless, it still provides various types of sambal as Indonesian food will only complete with sambal. Plus, there is free delivery for those of you staying in Jakarta and Tangerang.
There you go. I would like to keep the list short (and sweet) as I feel that the more options we have, the more confused we become. Nonetheless, if you feel that none of these suits you, feel free to browse more options at Venopi.
Enjoy your meal, everyone! Stay safe, stay healthy, stay happy.
