2. What We Sell
- 2.1We cook ready-to-eat, chilled meals to order. We sell Meal Bundles ( Fat Loss and Mass Gain ), individual Meals, À La Carte portions, Personalised Meal Plans and AERA merchandise.
- 2.2Each Meal is packed in a MAP Bento Box ( our standard ) or a Vacuum Bag, whichever you choose at checkout. À La Carte portions come in a Vacuum Bag only.
- 2.3Photos show a typical serving. Because every Meal is cooked by hand, how it looks and its exact weight can vary slightly from the picture.
- 2.4If a dish runs out, the shop says so before you buy, including any substitute the kitchen will use from the same category at the same price. If something runs out after you have paid, we will contact you to agree a substitute or refund those items.
3. Ordering & Prices
- 3.1All prices are in Ringgit Malaysia ( RM ). The packaging for each box is already included in the Meal price.
- 3.2A packaging fee based on the number of Meals, and a delivery fee based on distance, courier and service, may be added in the cart. The total shown at checkout, before you pay, is the full amount you will be charged.
- 3.3You can review and correct your items, delivery details and total before paying. Your order is accepted once payment succeeds and you receive our order confirmation.
- 3.4If a price on our website is clearly wrong because of an error, we will tell you before we cook, and you may pay the correct price or cancel for a full refund.
- 3.5Some dates are unavailable because the kitchen is closed. Only dates we can cook for are offered at checkout.
4. Payment
- 4.1Orders are paid in full when you place them, using the methods shown at checkout ( for example card, FPX online banking or e-wallet ). Payments are handled by our payment providers; we never see or store your full card details.
- 4.2Business customers who have agreed invoice terms with us in writing pay as set out in that agreement ( see section 15 ).
5. Delivery & Pick-Up
- 5.1You choose a date and a time window at checkout, and either self pick-up from our kitchen or delivery by a courier ( Lalamove or Grab ).
- 5.2For delivery you choose Normal Delivery, where the rider hands over at the lobby, guard house or collection point you name, or Door-to-Door Service for an extra fee shown at checkout.
- 5.3Time windows are our target. Couriers are independent companies and traffic or weather can delay them; we will let you know if your delivery is running significantly late. Once a rider is booked, you will receive a tracking link.
- 5.4Please give a complete, accurate address and a phone number the rider can reach. We are not responsible for an order that does not reach you because the details given were wrong or incomplete.
- 5.5If you are not there or cannot be reached when the rider arrives, the rider will leave your order at the lobby, guard house or reception of the address given. Your order counts as delivered once it is left there, and from then on it is your responsibility to collect it and put it in the fridge.
- 5.6Self pick-up orders should be collected during the time window chosen.
6. Changing Or Cancelling An Order
- 6.1You may change or cancel a paid order free of charge up to 48 hours before the delivery or pick-up date and time you chose. Contact us by email or WhatsApp.
- 6.2A cancelled order is refunded to the way you paid, or given as AERA Credit if you prefer. Refunds to cards and banks usually take 5 – 10 working days to appear, depending on your bank.
- 6.3Less than 48 hours before delivery, ingredients have been bought and prepared for your order, so it can no longer be changed or cancelled. This does not affect your rights in section 7 if something is wrong.
7. If Something Is Wrong
- 7.1If a Meal is missing, wrong, damaged or not fit to eat when it arrives, tell us within 24 hours of delivery or pick-up by email or WhatsApp, with a photo of the box and its label.
- 7.2Once we have checked it, you choose one of: a replacement on a later delivery, a refund for the affected Meals, or the same amount as AERA Credit.

- 7.4We cannot accept a claim for a Meal that was not stored as set out in section 8, or that was eaten after the expiry date on its label.
8. Storing & Eating Your Meals
- 8.1Put your Meals in the fridge as soon as you receive them and keep them chilled. The MAP Bento Box is designed for the chiller, not the freezer.
