Whether you like it or not, prices of almost everything is going up and it seems like this phenomenon is not likely to ease anytime soon in the near future... But what we can do is to economize as much as possible and I am sure there is an ongoing trend for consumers to move towards buying quality food in bulk from wholesalers or manufacturers direct.

Here are some benefits for buying direct:

1) No Middlemen, you save more when you buy direct from us. You get better quality but at a much reduced cost!

2) Economy of scale, we buy ingredients in bulk at reduced cost and we have been passing these cost savings as much as we can to you, our customers.

3) Exclusivity, you get the same food items that 5 Star Hotels and Restaurants serve when you dine in them, quality food items that you cannot get retail! and mind you, these Food Services People have high standards!

4) You Buy Fresh, Our food items goes out of the door almost daily, no items is kept for more than 2 weeks, as our food items are frozen hard, their freshness is guaranteed. You can keep some of the food items for more than 3 months in a good freezer!

5) Full Accountability, You buy directly from us, so you will only deal with us directly! This keeps us on our toes and in tip top condition! You get a greater peace of mind!

6) Total Convenience, We deliver right to your doorsteps, so you save more time, time that you have better use of.

Here is a fast tip, remember to keep your condiments such as Basil Pesto, Sundried Tomato Pesto and Sundried Tomato in Oil in a chiller (temperature about 4 degrees celsius), always use a clean spoon to spoon out the contents and give it a quick stir to coat all the content with oil.

As the oil in the container tends to set down after a while, it is always good practice to stir it once in a while or, if the container is unopened (still with the seal), simply turn the container upside down. That should do the trick!.

Don't know what to do with your condiments? Try making some delicious toast!

The Oriental Tandoori Chicken was once a very popular dish in Melvados Cafe, I have since taken it out of the menu. However, you can try your hands at preparing this delicious fusion dish, all you need to do is follow the instructions below!

Here's what you need:

1) Butter Croissant

2) Tandoori Chicken

3) Basil Pesto

4) Mayonaise

5) Sundried Tomato in Oil

First slice the tandoori chicken into thin slices, cut the butter croissant in the half mark but do not cut through it, this creates a pocket for you to put in your stuffings.

Spread some basil pesto into the pocket of the cut croissant, next stuff it with the sliced tandoori chicken, chop up some sundried tomato in oil and lace the top of the tandoori chicken, that's it!

Now place the croissant into the toaster or oven and heat it up for about 3 - 4 mins! Serve HOT!

Foccacia Tandoori Chicken Sandwich

This is a simple sandwich made using our Foccacia Buns and Tandoori Chicken. My personal favourite.

Here's what you need:

1) One Foccacia Bun

2) 1pc Tandoori Chicken

3) Cheddar Cheese

4) Salt

5) Grounded Black Pepper

6) Garden Vegetables

7) Mushrooms

8) Minced Garlic

9) Olive Oil

First cut up the tandoori chicken to chunks, then warm up a pan, add a dash of olive oil followed by some minced garlic. Stir fry the minced garlic till fragrant.

Add in the mushroom, garden greens, tandoori chicken and give it a quick stir. Remove from pan, now you are ready to assemble your sandwich!

Cut the foccacia bun into halves, place the freshly stir-fried tandoori chicken and veggies onto the base, sprinkle some salt and grounded black pepper and lay on a slice of cheddar cheese.

Your sandwich is now ready! 

If you like your sandwich warm or hot, try placing it into the toaster or oven for a quick 1 - 2 mins and let the cheddar cheese melt. mmmm....DELICIOUS!

Suggestion: Try this with our moroccan chicken as well...
