Personally I enjoy soup very much and I like to drown my nice with soup (hey don't judge!). It is not difficult to have soup during meals when I am studying in UPM because there are two economic rice shops at old flat serving Chinese-style soup for free! I have tried bittergourd soup, old cucumber soup, ABC soup (tomato, potato, onion soup basically), corn soup etc. but all of them have one similarity - you feel thirsty after having them.
I came across this Facebook page named DishMotion which makes dinner delivery on every Wednesday, and it is specifically soup with tomato rice (the one that was quite popular on internet last time, hahaha). At first, I thought it was another project of a student taking business management course who are required to sell something as part of the course (since it is a compulsory course I will have to face it sooner or later). After talking to a friend who has ordered the delivery, it is actually a personal business started by a third-year student of UPM. What attracted me the most about this dinner delivery is that they use good quality containers which are non-disposable! Being an environmental student I feel rather uneasy using disposable container. Can you imagine how much plastics or polystyrenes you are going to throw away each time you take away food?

DishMotion was started at the end of February by a guy named William from the Faculty of Engineering (yes it is a guy! It won't be that special if a girl does it, right??) after he found that home-cooked soup has the market among Chinese students who miss their home. So he learnt cooking from scraps and started this small business inside the campus. This was the first time I ordered the soup after forgetting that there is such delivery due to heavy student life recently. One of the best feeling in the world is when you can enjoy a warm meal on a cold raining day and it is delivered to you not in the transparent plastic container or polystyrene, but in this sweet apple green container.

| RM 6 for a non-MSG and nutritious meal is just worth it since you are only going to get it once a week! |

| Soup of the day - Pumpkin Apple White Fungus Soup! All the goodness of the ingredients are within this cute container! You can find the ingredients of the soup in this blog! |
Well, this might not look like a big deal in terms of environmental protection by using a non-disposable container, waste reduction is the first step that comes before reusing and recycling in 3R. If bringing your own container to take away food is unachievable, why don't let someone else provides the container and sends it to your doorstep? *wink*
P/S: Anyone who is interested please call 017-8713513 (William)! Try it and you can decide whether it is worth. =) Oh ya, it is non-halal, please take note ya.
