lunch from the studio. is an indonesian and southeast asian-inspired meal prepping service, which is also the first project of Studio Bumi (we’re now boing a bunch of other exciting things). we’re in park slope and cobble hill, brooklyn.
the process
we upload a new menu on tuesdays. you review the menu, order through this page and pay by saturday of the same week and you will get 5 meals and one side dish for the following week!
you can either pick them up or let our team deliver them to you on monday between 2-5pm. that’s that ☺ easy peasy!
please note that all meals are cooked every sunday to keep everything fresh.

macro breakdown.
the nutritional estimates included in this breakdown are provided to assist you in making informed dietary choices. and are based on average values for the ingredients used in my recipes.

allergen information.
our meals are prepared in a kitchen that handles nuts, dairy, and gluten. although we make every effort to prevent it, there is always a chance of cross-contamination. please consider this when ordering if you have food sensitivities or allergies.

your lunch sets are prepared in a way so that they could be enjoyed throughout the week. this is why it's essential to refrigerate the lunch sets immediately upon receipt. if you plan to enjoy them even later in the week, freezing is an option, but you need to transfer it down to the fridge at least one day before consuming to first let it defrost naturally.
plastic container and lid are microwaveable.
as food dries out in the fridge, microwaving the meal as it is (and uncovered) will result in even drier rice, sauces and proteins. splash some water on them and cover them when reheating to bring back some moisture. we promise it works.
when in doubt about reheating, reach out anytime!

we want to provide an option where sustainability is incorporated into our operation, that’s where this is all started.
the first iteration was glass container (we still provide this for Park Slope pick-ups) but the size and weight were becoming a nuisance for a lot of our customers so we moved to fiber compostable containers. this was a great stage of the operation - they looked good and actually compostable (in the right facilities).
however, fiber containers ended up absorbing more moisture than anticipated, by thu/fri the meals came out drier and the containers became soggy. this focus on sustainability should not take away from the dining experience itself, which is, well, the main value of our practice. so we’re finally putting our business foot down and to these containers we said enough is enough.
new containers will be made of durable polypropylene plastic, they’re good BPA free, microwavable, dishwasher safe, freezer safe and of course, recyclable. so please reuse them or when our team delivers your next meals, return them!
