Da 9th Island Kitchen

You ever see those "sponsored" posts on Facebook?  They are just paid ads for stores in your area or whatever the person is selling.  Yesterday, I was slightly intrigued when I saw a sponsored post for FOOD.  Duh, of course, I would be right?! LoL. What caught my eye was it being called "Da 9th Island Kitchen."  With a name like that, I knew it was going to be some local food!!

Sooo I clicked on the link and was diverted to their FB page.  I discovered that they are a plate lunch DELIVERY service for most of Las Vegas.  $5 for a plate lunch at at that.  Local food delivered to me, at NO extra cost?!  Okay then. Sold.  Here is the menu for this week:

I decided to order today's (Monday)  plate lunch.  I sent them a text with my order of the plate and spam musubis for the girls.  My girls love spam musubi-- true local babies right there! Lol Since it came with a drink I got a squirt.  To prepay for plate, they sent me an invoice via PayPal.  Easy, peasy.  Oh and I told them to text me when they would be on their way so I can make sure to be back from the gym.  Gotta workout to eat, right?! Ha!

Alas, no gym for this morning. I am sick. Boo.  But luckily, I placed the order and didn't have to make lunch for me and the girls! Mom win!!! Yessss.  Anyway, they texted this morning at around the time they said they would drop the food off 10:55am, which is what they quoted me yesterday (around 11am).  Cool.  On time, and they did do a delivery text confirmation. I dig it.

Bam.  I got all that for $7.  What?! Yea. $7!!!! The plate lunch was only $5 WITH a drink and the spam musubis were a $1 each.  Although, the plate was not hot (slightly cold)- the food was good.  The bok Choy was cooked perfectly and the chicken was tasty!!! I loved that the chicken wasn't too greasy either.  The girls mopped their spam musubi and the peach dessert.

I would def order from them again.  I mean, it was only $7!! You can't beat that.  Food was good, on time, and decent portions!  PLUS, I am all done for supporting local businesses, especially on "The 9th Island."

Check out their facebook page, Da 9th Island Kitchen, to see their weekly menus.

**A disclaimer.  Apparently, based on my FB investigation, they operate out of a commercial kitchen and are a catering company as well.  I liked them and if you were ever contemplating trying-- this was only to tell you that it is worth it to sample!!
