Shopping & Posting to you
-
Nope, I dont run a business. Nor is this meant as a business.
And nope, I am not looking to earn out of it. Others who might want to help you are, should, especially if they accidently chance up on the items you are missing from where ever you are.
And nope, depending on the country's idea of what can or cannot be posted to you. Definitely no foodstuff, live animals
You folks, if really needing something, and your family members/friends cannot locate and buy them for you.
Just list it here.
We in Singapore, can try to look out for items for you and post it over to you. Especially if they are favourite undies, socks, kitchen utensils, books, recipe books and even a bolt of sari & batik cloth.
And if you seek temporary help from cooking, confinement nannies, mules to carry over items that you didnt move with you the other time. I am sure some of us if we do travel up or down, can provide some service. (You either pay for the overweight luggage fines, or the flight ticks for the person.)

Basket! Never read arh! I say no foodstuff!
Come to think of it........'Zhui Kueh' can make yourself lah. Only porblem is to get the salty 'chai por'.
Can substitute the small metal moulds with silicon muffin cups. I hope it wont melt in the steamer. Or use bowls. Then chop it up for fry up carrot cake also can. Good for one or two person.

Flash freeze, then vacumn seal.But must be conveyed to person in refrigerated container.
I've seen the technology. Not viable unless the receipient is willing to pay the high cost.
