Trying Yummybros meal prep for the first time with their newly launched Kopi Chicken!
Opted for the meals to be delivered frozen so that I could store them to eat over the week. For this particular meal, I ordered Kopi Chicken (Large,200g, +$1.50), Brown and Red Rice Mix (Standard, 200g) and Broccoli (50g) - which cost $9.00 in total.
I started thawing out the meal in the fridge from 9am and placed the meal in the microwave to be reheated for 4 minutes at 11am. The fragrance from the coffee was very pleasant, and permeated the whole pantry. It was quite subtle, and I’m pretty sure any coffee lovers would appreciate it.
The coffee chicken was very tender, juicy, and bursting with flavour - a very pleasant coffee taste came through without leaving any bitter aftertaste! There’s apparently the same amount of caffeine in this as a regular cup of kopi gao, but maybe I’m a little immune to caffeine and it didn’t have such a drastic effect on me. I loved the gravy and drizzled whatever was left of it on the rice. I also really liked the rice mix, which had a little bit of bite and nuttiness to it, but if you’re not used to eating brown rice, it might feel hard and undercooked. Love that this option is available though - it helps keep me satiated for longer as compared to white rice! The veggies were a bit of a disappointment though, 50g hardly seems enough for a standard portion, and there aren’t any other green veg choices on their menu. Would love for more veg to be provided, and more veg choices to be offered, but at the moment, it’ll do.
You get a nice surprise when you polish off your meal at the bottom of your container too. Nice touch from the thoughtful guys behind Yummybros :)
In all, this is a fantastic meal prep service, and probably one of the cheapest options available at the moment. Their customer service is fantastic, delivery is fuss-free, and the meals are (as their name suggests) super yummy! If you’re a gym buff, or someone counting calories and watching their diet, this is a meal prep service for you to consider for sure!
