Chicken-based meals were popular in Qatar during lockdown, according to a year-end recap by talabat, the region-leading food and grocery delivery app.
A list of some of their Qatar-based customer’s ‘best, weirdest, and wonderful ordering habits’ of the year was revealed by talabat in a statement yesterday. 
The number one spot on the list went to McDonald’s McChicken Meal, with the Spicy McChicken close behind. 
“A big rise in coffee deliveries indicate an unbreakable passion for coffee. It seemed that amongst the many changes we’ve seen in our day-to-day lives this year, coffee continued to be a part of our daily lives - even during lockdown. 
“With most significant increase in orders from cafe’s between the start of the year and now, Qatar-based customers stood out as big fans of caffeine amongst other markets in the region!
“We’ve got a lot of interesting drinks in Qatar, and most are on talabat. Customers stats show that Aseer Time’s ‘The Legend’ comes out on top - with more orders than the second placed milkshake flavour!
“Aseer Time’s milkshakes had a virtual mortgage over the top milkshake flavours in Qatar, taking out six out of the top ten! Cerelac, Fashkal Bobo, Oreo, Kinder and Lotus round up Aseer Time’s other flavours in the top ten.
“Generally when customers order late night, desserts, treats, and chicken nuggets come to the front of mind. This year’s biggest late night order is truly heartwarming: one talabat customer ordered 16 packages of aid for Lebanon - ranging from food, medical, and shelter/home restoration. talabat presented their customers the opportunity to support a range of causes this year through the app, and the response has been phenomenal.”
