So, there's really no need to go through iso living off cans of tuna and mi goreng. Plus, occasionally treating yourself is a surefire way to break up the daily at-home routine, which less face it, is getting pretty tedious by now. Whether you've had a small WFH win, it's your housemate's birthday or you just need a little luxury in your living room right now, it's worth celebrating them. And what better way to do so with some A-class oysters delivered straight to your door.
