The number of likes food delivery services have on Facebook can be deceiving, much like the profile picture of someone on Tinder. In the case of Delicious Story, however, the nearly 130k of online thumb-ups are justified indicators of its quality.
It offers over two dozen items to choose from via its website. This may sound modest but we think it's a short-listed menu. What also got us interested in the first place was its tagline of bringing hotel-quality food to your doorstep.
There are several things that we like about Bento set kurobuta (B289). The pork is tender and tasty, being marinated in barbecue sauce. It's good on its own but there's an extra dip for a tangy touch. The miso soup isn't half-heartedly done either. Jiggly tofu cubes and soft seaweed floating in the not overly salty soup give some soothing slurps. The tamagoyaki, crab sticks and wakame salad are good enough and don't taste like they are from the bottom shelf.
Spicy salmon rice bowl (B249) is quite sensational. Chunky pieces of raw fish are dressed in sriracha-and-mayo sauce and topped with thousands of pops from ebiko. Fresh and juicy fish with fluffy grains of rice proves to be a delicious duo. Wasabi in a small plastic bag is also provided in case you want a tickling sensation. I usually am not afraid of wasabi but I find Delicious Story's to be too pungent. Dab with caution.
The least favourite was Burger spaghetti (B189). The portion is very generous but the thick patty, the dish's supposedly highlight, falls short. It's a tad too dense and the pork doesn't come through enough due to the overwhelming burst of black pepper. The pasta part of the dish is good, though. The threads don't stick together and are enhanced with cheese, dried chilli, garlic and bacon.
Rujira "Yok" Ussawasatittip, Delicious Story's chef and owner, previously worked at restaurant hotels and it shows. She does quite a good job here. If you're looking for a wholesome meal without having to set foot outside, Delicious Story shouldn't disappoint.
