We’ll have to get the big three out of the way first, and amongst them is Deliveroo. Similar to Foodpanda and UberEats (but yet so different), Deliveroo allows you to search for restaurants in the area based on cuisine, location, and delivery time. Before you place your order, be sure to make a note of any food allergies for the restaurant to be aware of, as well as delivery instructions for the riders. You’ll find that Deliveroo covers a huge selection of restaurants, so rest assured that something on there will catch your fancy.

Delivering meals from all your favourite local restaurants straight to your door, Foodpanda helps you find the best restaurants near you. Whether you are craving some spicy Thai food, or in need of a healthy salad fix, their wide network of eateries means you’ll easily find something that can help tame your growling stomach. The best thing is, you can pay however you like—credit card, Paypal, or even cash on delivery.

As the food delivery arm of multi-national ride-hailing company Uber, UberEats needs no introduction. Although their Hong Kong platform has slightly fewer restaurants than competitors Deliveroo and Foodpanda, a good portion of their partners are exclusive, and they also represent smaller eateries that you may not have seen on other platforms. UberEats frequently offers super deals and special offers for new and existing users, so it’s worth browsing through on a regular basis!
How much: Delivery is $20 but varies on courier availability
