Eating out in the time of Coronavirus

As the coronavirus spreads fears and growing anxiety, especially in London where tight spaces are infeasible to avoid, we share your worries that eating out and even getting your lunch usual can be ominous. Let us share a few tips that over-worried Asians, us included, practice constantly during this time of coronavirus:

1. STAY OUT OF TIGHT SPACE FOR NO LONGER THAN 15 MINUTES
While it's hard to avoid getting into public space wearing face masks and constantly be on your guard, you can actually reduce your chances of getting contracted by reducing your public time to as little as possible. This not only reduces the chance of the virus getting around, but also lessens the chance of you getting touched and touch items that may have been exposed to the virus. So let's say if you need to get in the tube to work, try span out your journey into smaller trips, staying no longer than 10 mins on each train ride. Or be as quick as possible with your time in the public bathroom. Or at Indochine, you can be sure to get in and out within 10 minutes as we're thriving to prepare and deliver food to you in the quickest time span possible. All of which will certainly minimize any unwanted risk of contraction... 

2. AVOID TOUCHING ALMOST, WELL... EVERYTHING
Of course you can touch stuff when you are back in the office or home after your hands have been washed. But while riding tubes, buses, or going out, you can greatly reduce the infected risk by not touching anything belonged to the public because: 1. you never who may have touched it before, and 2. lots of people have the habit of touching their nose or lick their fingers and that's just no good in this dramatic time. With this in mind, carrying around a bottle of disinfectant is a good idea also (that is, if you can manage to get one not at tenth times their usual cost...) 

At the time being, we do encourage costumers to not take disposable cutlery back with you or, if you do, please make sure to rinse them in hot water for 2 minutes before consuming. We care for our customers a great deal and would do anything to safe-guard your mind while going out for lunch breaks. Hand wash soup is always available in store so feel free to ask if you want to be safe :) 

3. IF YOU PLAN TO GO OUT, GO TO AN SOUTH EAST ASIAN PLACE 
While contradictory that may sound since Coronavirus did spread from Asia, we can ascertain you that Asians are extremely cautious when it comes to protecting our precious lives. Among all the people you may notice wearing masks and dress like ninja in public space, over 90% are Asians. Some may call it over-protective, we just think it's good sense. And so, you can certainly lower your risk when visiting an Asian food place during this time as 1. our staff are those ninjas you see in tubes and buses, and 2. we're all washing our hands and disinfecting the place almost every 20 minutes of everyday. 

4. STAY IN FOR GOOD
Needless to say, when the outside is so exposed to risks of disease, we do recommend staying in your office, wearing mask and getting food delivered for your lunch hours. We usually deliver food for free over £60, but during this time we have lower our minimum order to £40, which means you and 4 others can enjoy your meals without having to go outside. And you can just order 2 hours before your lunch break so you can ensure food is hotly and freshly cooked as well. 

If that looks like the best option, don't hesitate to call us on 07474 686886. We hope we can work with you and together pull through this depressing period.
