2. GREAThai
If you need a break from all the rendang and sambal goreng that you’ll be eating at almost every house during Raya, why not do something different and order some yummy Thai food instead? GREAThai offers some really authentic and palatable Thai cuisine which will thrill your guests because how often do you get to eat Thai food when you go Raya visiting?

You can never go wrong with Tom Yum Seafood Soup or Green Curry, and GREAThai does both perfectly. Getting the power combination of these two dishes is a sure way to win the hearts of your guests! There’s clear and red tom yum but we recommend getting the clear soup as you can taste the spices more, and it has an added zesty kick. Add in an array of other dishes like their Steamed Fish With Hot Lemon Sauce or Basil Chicken/Beef for a hearty meal your guests can enjoy ?

GREAThai’s appetisers are not to be missed too! Their Thai Fish Cake, Deep-Fried Chicken Wings and Homemade Spring Rolls will perfectly complement your meal. They’ll also make the perfect bite-sized snacks for those guests who are probably too full from the other houses they visit ?

6. Pondok Jawa Timur
Craving for yummy and affordable Javanese fare? Pondok Jawa Timur will be just the perfect delivery option for you.

Perhaps it’s time to wow your guests with some delightful Javanese eats ☺️

Their signature dish is Gulai Kepala Ikan, which is a little twist to your usual fish head curry as they use fresh milk instead of coconut milk.

Don’t miss out on their Rendang Jawa Timur which is rich and full of flavour.

We’re not sure about you but a good plate of ayam penyet is always comfort food to us. And comfort food does just the trick for a good and satisfying meal especially if you want to win the hearts of your guests. Uncle Penyet’s signature Ayam Penyet is so tastefully crunchy and scrumptious. It comes with sambal belachan chilli and fried tofu on the side and topped with crunchy bits and curry gravy, which makes it even more enticing. We’re pretty sure your guests will be enjoying every bite of it!

There’s also a variety of other “penyet” dishes available such as bebek (duck), bakso (beef balls), kerapu (grouper) and prawns.

The sauce is sweet and has a slightly charred taste to it and it pairs really well with the chicken ?

But if you can't wait till Raya to get your ayam penyet fix, get their Ramadan specials now (till 14 June!) and choose between two sets which let you taste the best of what the eatery has to offer. Their Set A ($45.90) comes with 2 sets of Ayam Panggang, 2 sets of Ayam Penyet, 6 pieces of Crispy Golden Udang (prawn) plus cheeseballs and keropok.
