I learnt about Pope Jai Thai from a friend – admittedly drawn in by the perk of a free mango sticky rice. She then shared with me about their cause & what they stand for. They are a F&B-focused social enterprise that employs a range of disadvantaged groups; underprivileged & marginalized individuals make up 90% of their workforce. During the COVID-19 outbreak, they’ve also created new job opportunities (since they offer islandwide delivery) for taxi drivers & dispatch riders who have been affected by this pandemic.
I’m not going to put myself on moral high ground here. But I’m happy to support a meaningful social cause like this. & eat delicious food while I’m at it.
Delivery is an affordable $5, & if you quote BUIBUISUPPORTPJ when ordering (min. spend $30), you get a FREE mango sticky rice on your first order! Valid until 4 May 2020.
Pope Jai Thai‘s menu is pretty extensive. They have set meal deals (main + drink), a la carte mains, zhi-char style dishes for sharing, appetizers, & dessert too of course. I was happy with the food I ordered:
- Phad Thai Set (Seafood) with Thai Lemon Tea (Cold) – $8.80 nett
- Stir Fried Tanghoon Set (Vegetables) with Thai Milk Tea (Cold) – $8.80 nett
- Homemade Thai Prawn Cake (3 pieces) – $8.80 nett
- Clear Tom Yum Glass Noodle Soup (Seafood) – $8.80 nett
- Garlic Honey Chicken (Large) – $15 nett
- Garlic Baby Kailan (Medium) – $11 nett
I usually don’t like paying for delivery, but their $5 delivery fee (min. $20 spend) is reasonable. Delivery service was also satisfactory; my food arrived on time (within the 30 minute window – in fact, at 12:22PM when I requested for 12:15PM delivery!). My soup was shrink-wrapped at the top to avoid spillage, & the dispatch rider had stored my food in an insulated bag (warm & cold in 2 separated bags) during the ride 👍🏻
Would order from them again & when circuit breaker period is over, I’d like to pay their dining establishment a visit too – they’re conveniently located at *SCAPE.
