\u00a0This article was written by our friends, over at\u00a0<\/i>Wantedly<\/a>.<\/i><\/h6>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” css=”.vc_custom_1549613234065{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]\n

Convenience has taken on a whole new meaning for us Singaporeans obsessed with food. I vaguely recall a time when convenience meant microwaveable meals from 7Eleven, and the only food delivery options were either McDonald’s, pizza or Spize with exorbitant delivery fees and hour-long waiting times.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

\"\"<\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” css=”.vc_custom_1549616059742{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]\n

Today, a great deal for our meal is never far away – and I mean this literally. The food delivery scene is now saturated with players big and small, racing to deliver under 30 minutes. Besides food delivery, there are a plethora of food and dining related services to make sure our food obsession never ends. From 1-for-1 deals and cash back rewards, to mobile wallet payments and beating the queue for food, here\u2019s a list of five must-have apps to help you maximise your lunch hour and snag the best deals in Singapore.<\/p>\n

If you want to upgrade your lunch meals to restaurant food and avoid queuing in line for your food, MealPal offers a monthly subscription plan for pick-up restaurant meals in CBD, Novena, Buona Vista and Orchard.<\/p>\n

For a monthly fee of S$95.88, The Basic Restaurant Plan gives you 12 restaurant meals for $7.99 each. The All-Access plan gives you two additional hawker meals for just $2 more. Whenever you\u2019re up for a lunch upgrade, just make your order before 10.30am and set your pick-up time before heading down.<\/p>\n

Watch your colleagues next door munch on their salad and fast food with jealousy; you\u2019re now the kid with the cool lunchbox back in primary school.<\/p>\n
