Catering Log, Week Two: The Homemade Illusion

I can’t believe it’s that time of the week again—time to share my catering meals log!

This week, I continued with my Warteg Online catering plan. I started on Tuesday again since there was a little… drama on Monday. After getting used to being pampered with lunch delivered straight to the office lobby, I wasn’t quite as excited as I was last week. Still, seeing my menu come to life was so much fun!

Here’s my weekly lunch rundown:

Tuesday

Carbo: Rice

Protein: Fried chicken with dried shrimp

Fiber: Stir-fried bean sprouts with tempeh

Condiment: Fried chili sauce

Wednesday

Carbo: Rice

Protein: Crispy dory fish with balado sauce

Fiber: Stir-fried water spinach with garlic

Thursday

Carbo: Aceh-style fried rice

Protein: Chicken with Aceh spices & omelet

Condiment: Sliced cucumbers

Friday

Carbo: Rice

Protein: Kung Pao chicken

Fiber: Stir-fried choy sum with oyster sauce

Condiment: Chili sauce

P.S. I told the catering customer service not to send my meal on Saturday since I’m planning to eat out with my boyfriend tomorrow.

In conclusion? This week’s meals still felt like my mom’s cooking. When I sent a picture to my family WhatsApp group, my mom confirmed it by saying, “Exactly like mine. So homemade.”
