Dine Inn – share
a taste of home emphasises on creating a one-stop community marketplace that
connects food lovers, founded by Luke Lee who has a diverse background in the
F&B scene and working alongside with Celebrity Chef Eric Teo. This concept allows
home cooks to share their culinary skills and experiences over home-cooked meals
and making new friends at the same time. Interestingly, Dine Inn is like a food-version of Airbnb.

All bookings are instantly confirmed so do make sure your orders are all correct before checking out. Above is the final page you will see after payment, along with your booking number. Afterwards, the booking confirmation and receipt will be both email to you. But for me personally, I would usually drop a text to re-inform the host of my orders.

What sets Dine Inn apart from other food delivery companies?
It provides a safe environment for both the guest and host to bond in a trusted community. Firstly, you as a guest can liaise with the host and make flexible arrangement since hosts can change their availability at their own convenience (provided no prior bookings were made). Secondly, bookings are confirmed instantly upon successful payment.
Followed by building a trusted community by verifying and reviewing all accounts (guests and hosts) regularly to ensure they are complied with the guidelines. Guest’s honest, transparent and constructive reviews on the host’s listings also plays an essential part of Dine Inn.
Lastly, hosts ensure its food safety by undergoing a compulsory Basic Food Hygiene Course provided by Singapore Workforce Development Agency before they are published on the platform. Hosts are also protected with a public liability insurance coverage in the event of a third-party claim by Dine Inn guests for illness caused by anything harmful or defective in the food.
What kind of food to expect?
The hosts on
Dine Inn offers a variety of food from Chinese, Western, Japanese and Thai fare
to confinement food and not forgetting about the sweets as well. We managed to
try a bit of everything and our personal favourites are Jo Ann’s Serrano Ham Grilled Cheese Breakfast Bento, which were totally affordable and satisfying. The other one would be Mary’s Curry Chicken with Wholemeal Crusty Bread which she used hormone-free chicken.
I loved how it’s not overly spicy that even the old and young in the family
enjoyed this home-cooked dish. The wholemeal bread were a perfect complement as well.

Special meals like confinement food
There were several different types of unique meals on Dine Inn, but one of them that caught our attention was confinement meals offered by the host called Annie. We tried her signature set which is a 5-course meal (S$38.80), includes Black vinegar pig's trotter with old bentong ginger with eggs, stir fry vegetables, deep fried fish, brown rice and white fungus red dates with lotus seeds dessert. It was a hearty and comforting meal, serving up to 2 pax.

That is not all,
the dishes mentioned above was only the self-collection and delivery service
type. I would like emphasis more on dining at the host’s place as it was a truly
unique experience for me and my friends. Our first dine in was at Natasha’s place and
we had some amazing dishes like the Oven Baked Chicken, Shrimp Aglio Olio and Homemade Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake.
Sharing the meal with Natasha and husband, Faz wasn’t awkward at all, in fact they
were very welcoming and even shared about their travel photos with us after
the meal. Their house is totally #housegoals!

| Modern Indian Cuisine Full Course Meal from host - Shaaleni |
We had so much
fun on our first dine in and decided to go for another, this time at Shaaleni’s.
Yet another incredible experience as Shaaleni shared about her culinary knowledge
and insights about her offshore studies. It was as though we were catching up
with a friend over lunch. Back to the food, she and her mother whipped up more
than the two of us can finish, and here are some of the delectable dishes we love - Prawn Pasta (which tasted a little like dry tom yum pasta), Spicy
Baked Chicken, Spicy Lamb Chops and Tiramisu.
Overall experience with Dine Inn

| Japanese Bento from host - Jo Ann |
A platform like Dine Inn provides a great and healthier alternative to
home-cooked food at your own convenience. Overall, we enjoyed the diversity of food that was offered by the different hosts and no doubt this is a great way to make new friends too - true enough we made a couple of friends here.
As for pricing (possibly the main factor to consider), some of the dishes were rather steep while others were pretty affordable. Nonetheless, do bear in mind that Dine Inn charges a 20% fee for every successful booking so these hosts do not profit much actually, while some of them are doing it for the passion of cooking. Nevertheless, if you have the dedication to cook and enjoy cooking for people, you may want to join the community at https://sg.dineinn.com/hosts. As for us, we will continue looking out for unique and delectable treats at Dine Inn.

ReplyDeleteAsk anyone who raised children 25 years ago if they ever heard of food allergies back then, and the likely answer will be no. Yet today, who doesn't know a child-if not several kids-who have severe food allergies? Pediatricians and allergists are observing first-hand that food allergies in infants and children have increased to epidemic proportions over the last few decades. Studies have shown that in the under-18 age group, the prevalence of reported food allergies increased 18% between 1997 and 2007. Approximately 4% of Americans are estimated to have food allergies. That's more than 12 million individuals. The prevalence of food allergies is even higher-6% to 8%-in infants and young children under three years old. Cultured Butter ghee
