Having cooked meals and ingredients etc delivered to your office or home is hugely popular here in China. The biggest supplier is Meituan and you see dozens of their electric scooters dashing around every day. There isn't much you can't buy (anything from a raw egg to flock of live ostriches) and delivery is usually within 30 minutes.
I have eaten from this source before but today was my first time to order for myself. This issue is due to my being confined to bed in a hospital with a more than usually dysfunctional kitchen.
Anyway, here is my introductory dish.
Spicy cumin beef fried rice with a vegetable soup from heaven The broth was indescribable. These dishes are from Lanzhou in NW China.
Those who know the China Food Myths topic will note the lack of egg in the fried rice
Cost me 26 cents US / 22 pence UK. This includes a huge welcome discount. The regular price is about 12 times that.
