FAQ

Do you accept food review?

We don’t encourage food review as it will not be an honest review when the meal is hosted by you! We do however accept the invitation for a special event (Chinese New Year, New opening, special event) and do ready us with information for us to understand you more before the event.

How does it work on the Instagram?

We go around eating every day and share our experience with our followers. We go around randomly as we do enjoy our eating as much as you do.

How can I contact you?

You can contact me at joanne@sabaheats.com. Please do not send out a generic email like “dear bloggers” as I appreciate you know me better before you approach me.
