A few places have outdone themselves, including Bref by Darren Chin. One of my favourite dishes of his is the khao soi. The flavours of the Northern Thai curry broth and mix of crispy and soft noodles make for the most authentic Thai food I’ve had in a while.

I am also a big fan of the Ebi Katsu Sando from Kikubari with its golden battered prawn mince and coleslaw sandwiched between matcha bread. Just delectable.

Another of my favourite things to order during CMCO is Junglebird's 'KFC' (kunyit fried chicken). They're among my favourite chicken wings in town, and go great with the bar's Strawberries & Cream cocktail.

My three delivery recommendations are easy if you live in KL. Halab's falafel wrap is delicious—a mix of lettuce, tomato, diced pickles, and perfectly seasoned falafel. It’s also relatively inexpensive, with the small-sized wrap at RM5.75 and the large one at RM9.20, and doubles as a meat-free meal. Make sure you ask for garlic sauce!

Secondly, I’d go for Dewakan’s ham tan sotong (salted egg squid) sandwich, which you'll find in the restaurant's new casual takeaway menu. The sandwich consists of a pillowy potato and onion bun, deep-fried squid, sour gherkins, green chilli, an umami salted egg sauce, and an added layer of crunch from lettuce. So satisfying.

Lastly, I say go for something local, such as Old Klang Road Hokkien Mee. Cheap and tasty, the Hokkien noodles here have very decent wok hei and makes for a fantastic supper after a few drinks.

As a creature of habit, I mostly gravitate to the same spots for food delivery: Hotpot Kitchen, myBurgerLab, and Li.

You can't keep me away from my stir-fried, dry mala. Hotpot Kitchen always hits the spot and has a great variety of meat and vegetables. You can choose to have noodles or rice or none. I usually opt for the first level of spiciness, but it's enough to get me sweating buckets.

For a cheat meal, I always pick myBurgerLab's classic Lab Burger, a no-frills cheeseburger with a juicy beef patty, cheddar cheese, and onion jam. It's really the sweetness of the onion jam that makes this simple burger stand out.

Finally, Li is my pick when I need some comfort food after a trying day at work. My favourite? The Housemade Spam Rice Bowl. Just think of spam topped with seaweed butter, a soft-boiled egg with a side of the restaurant's iconic chilli sauce over rice.

TATLER TIP: You can now add Li's homemade spam to your own home cooked dishes; each 450g block is vacuum packed and will keep for a while in the fridge.

A dish I discovered while exploring the outskirts of Queens, New York, the Fried Bake is a staple of (poor) college students. Affordable and hearty, this fried bread is largely eaten in Trinidad and Tobago, and was unattainable for Malaysians until Afro-Caribbean restaurant Joloko introduced its delivery division Jojo's. Unlike my pal Poh Nee, I rarely order the same food twice. So the sheer fact that Jojo's is saved to my 'Favourites' on GrabFood says something.

What does it taste like? Picture using XXL 'yau char kwai' to sandwich a variety of fillings, from spiced barracuda to pork and Mexican mole. Despite Jojo's generous fillings, the bake is always sturdy enough for me to hold the sandwich one-handedly while I continue typing away on my keyboard with the other hand. Am I doing it right now? Maybe. Such is the beauty of a well-designed sandwich.
