In the past Menulog was the app that I used to
order food when I couldn’t be bothered cooking but since Deliveroo and UberEats
have come to my area, I couldn’t help but to compare them all.
Until now Menulog was ok; it was functional and
I could get food quickly when I needed it. Lots of places in the surrounding
areas were listed but the minimum order (when I first started) was often aprox
$25+. Although I think this has changed since the competition has increased
and they do a lot of discounts if you haven’t ordered from a restaurant before.
I’ve had a couple curries from Vic Park Indian
and it was fine.
I had seen Deliveroo around Europe with guys
carrying their square backpacks and I thought it was cool that they were now in
Perth.
I liked how there was a
range of places that you could order from. The fact that you got 2 Qantas
Frequent Flyer points for ever dollar that you spend on the app was enough to
get me hooked. Since I got a taste of business class travel using my points, I
get a little obsessive about getting them where I can.
While Deliveroo doesn’t really match Menulog in restaurant numbers, they
really do have the places that I would actually eat from such as Decanters American
Tapas and Little Grill Vietnamese.
Today, I felt the need for a Vietnamese Roll
so I ordered Ban MI That (Vietnamese Pork Roll) and some Fresh Spring Rolls
lunch tomorrow from Little Grill
Vietnamese Café. My order came quickly and, despite the bike ride, it
looked great. 
The thing with delivery
is that the food is never going to look as good as when you eat it in. A few
weeks back I had a Laksa from Chi Restaurant
and while it tasted fine, the journey made it look a little tired. But that’s
the downside of takeaway. 
UberEats is the power
app with the fame surround the Ride Sharing app. It is the app that has been
credited with getting the higher end places to do takeaway such as The Precinct in Victoria Park and Long Chim in the city.
I love how you can order
from cafés such as Sprolo where you
can get a packet of beans if you’re running low but not coffee yet and Little Matcha Girl (even coffee).
I ordered Dim Sum from Emma’s Seafood and Dim Sum. Since eating Dim Sum can get a bit nosey and the crowed alittle annoying, ordering in seems ideal. 
I was able
to get Minced Pork and Prawn Dumplings, Steamed BBQ Pork Buns, Pumpkin and
Prawn Dumplings and a Short Soup. It was fantastic and it was enough for a
small army as well as enough for lunch the next day.
Which app will I use next
time?
