Mealbay is a food delivery service covering most of central Shanghai. They have agreements with many restaurants, cafes and delis around Shanghai to deliver their food promptly to customers.

Mealbay is a life-saver for many foreigners who cannot speak Chinese but want good food delivered within about 30 minutes. It is perfect for busy people who do not have time to cook or go out. And it is PERFECT for extremely cold or rainy days when you can't bear to go out - just call Mealbay or order online and the food will be delivered to you at your home or ofice. Mealbay offers food from a wide variety of international cuisines, and even offers food from vegetarian and organic restaurants!

The choice on offer is varied and of good quality. My favourites include NYC Deli, Il Giardino, Organic Kitchen Shanghai and Godly Vegetarian. The service is efficient and friendly and you can order in English or Chinese and online

In the central Shanghai area within the ring road, the delivery fee is set at a reasonable 15RMB.

Menus of all the restaurants are available online or else you can request a "hard copy" booklet with all of the menus.

Organic Kitchen Shanghai is a restaurant that provides food made from organic ingredients for home/ office delivery. Organic Kitchen Shanghai offers a diverse menu of organic pastas, sandwiches, Asian dishes, salads, soups and desserts.

It is important to eat organic food in China, where the non-organic produce is notoriously tainted with toxic pesticides, etc.
