Ran out of ingredients but don’t have time to head to the supermarket? Don’t worry! All you have to do is browse through pandamart on the foodpanda app or website and get some of your staples like Adabi Ketupat Nasi Mini Rice Cubes or New Moon Premium Cooking Oil. Add flavour to your dishes with a wide range of soy sauces, oyster sauces or perhaps some Knorr Chicken Stock Cubes.
