Lunch meal discussion

I am fed up with fast food for lunch, its either KFC McDonald's Hardee's etc... every day!

I am living alone in Doha; I don't know or have time to cook or to prepare a decent meal :(

I know some restaurants that prepare daily meals, but they don't offer delivery, I usually eat there at dinner.

So what are your advises dear Qler's?

Please discuss what do you usually have on your lunch breaks.

I’d need to check with you here. Which isn't one thing I often do! I get pleasure from studying a submit that will make individuals think. Additionally, thanks for allowing me to remark!

just make sure you dont refrigerate it while its still warm... it will spoil

Estekwellek- dont freeze it, just put it in a room temperature or inside your refrigerator, ;) you can cook some mashed potatoes mixed with chicken shreds and veggies :) well, goodluck to your cooking! Btw, where do you work? Can we drop by in your office at lunchtime? :p

i think its ok to cook food at night, let it cool, refrigerate... microwave it for lunch... it should be good

By estekwellek• 30 Oct 2011 16:22

I don't mind any type of food, as long as it is healthy and little on spices (allergy)

You don't want to know what is like to be a smoker and unhealthy food consumer, i want to change !!!

Is it OK to prepare something and freeze it overnights and then microwave it again in the next day ? i heard that it is unhealthy to do so!!!

And yes we have fridge and microwave @ office pantry, haven't used any of them yet.

and in Antarctica, we like seafood, and karak :)

Agree with t_coffee_or me, cooking simple no fuss dishes can be relaxing. Loads of recipes with detailed instructions available on www.foodgawker.com

I know someone exactly like u, the time i cooked for that person in his kitchen is really unforgettable & he wants me to cook everytime now. Why dont u invite some friends over and prepare food at home? That would be nice..

Cooking is an art and experiment, easy to master. why dont u search on you tube for starters where they have video of easy to cook food.

Cooking is a good way to remove stress

Frozen dinners can fill in wonderfully on no-time-to-cook days and won't make anyone late or disappointed! They can be ready in 10 minutes flat, and there's no cleanup!

they are offering delivery and everyday lunch to bring it in your office, seems u can check with them, how u can avail their services for dinner, as far as i know, they are offer lunch month for less than 300. rice, 2 menu and 1 drink.

for sure u are staying near in the airport as the resto u mention was all there. thus amwaj is near to your place.

Maybe:

1. you could hire someone to prepare/cook your food

2. learn some 10 minute recipes or easy step cooking

3. if you have more time in the evening, prepare your food at night, fridge it and bring it as your pack lunch.

4. Order in some restaurants (not the fancy ones though, well.,also it depends on the type of food you like/eat, me and my colleagues order food in amwaj near our office)

5. befriend your colleagues and ask them to share their lunch with you :P lol

6. If your office have a pantry with fridge, microwave oven or stove (just like ours :) then you could just bring some microwavable food or keep some fruits & veggies on the fridge for salad.

It's either you need to go out to restaurants or find some time to cook food for yourself or find someone to do it for you. I guess all deliveries here for fast food only :(

I don't really have any - perhaps you can bring packet noodles to work, or buy salad or sushi from the supermarkets.

I was really just saying that there is a complete lack of good delis who could fill the gap in what you (and me) are looking for

What this town really needs is a good little deli, doing nice sandwiches, salads, soups and baked potatoes. problem is if it is not an american fast food chain no one is interested
