In the midst of Malaysia’s current economic slump, there appears to be little positive news in the commercial office property industry. The office market in Kuala Lumpur’s city centre, for example, is oversupplied, with new office space due to open in the next few years.

Despite the fact that Petaling Jaya, Selangor, does not have as many Grade A office buildings as Kuala Lumpur, the satellite city’s office space market is thriving. Grade B, C, and stratified office buildings account for 51% of total office space supply in Petaling Jaya , with Grade A buildings accounting for the remaining 41%.

According to the National Property Information Centre’s (Napic) Commercial Buildings: Occupancy and Space Availability Report, the occupancy rate for purpose-built offices in Petaling Jaya  has been steadily increasing from 64.4 percent in 2013 to 75.9% in 2017, with a recent dip to 72.8 percent in the third quarter of 2018. In this instance, KL’s office average occupancy rate fell from 82.2 percent in 2014 to 78.3 percent in 3Q2018 over the same five-year period.

In reality, in Petaling Jaya , the average office rental rates for purpose-built offices have been rising as well. The current monthly rental rate varies from RM4.80 to RM5.50 psf, which is higher than the RM3 to RM3.50 psf and RM3.80 to RM4.50 psf recorded in 2008 and 2013, respectively.

Industry experts claim that the success that the commercial sector of Petaling Jaya enjoys can be attributed to a number of factors, including a restricted supply of office space, low rates for good building quality, closeness to a good talent pool of workers, and easy access to public transportation. Fitted offices for lease in PJ are doing well because it is an area where people want to go. Those offices positioned adjacent to the MRT (mass rapid transit) and LRT (light rail transit) stations enjoy good connectivity. 

According to the Petaling Jaya Council, it is a mature township with a population of about 619,900 people. Petaling Jaya offers all of the trappings of a modern lifestyle, including easy access to every convenience, including excellent food.

Apart from this, office rentals in Petaling Jaya  are generally lower than in the KL city centre and KL peripheral markets, which is a big draw for tenants.

Rents have increased in the fitted offices for lease in PJ that are often well linked and close to conveniences and facilities. The average asking gross rent of Grade A offices in Petaling Jaya  tracked by JLL in 3Q2018 was RM5.02 psf, up 10% from 2013.

Office demand in Petaling Jaya  has increased by more than 1.3 million square feet between 2013 and 2017, with demand coming from companies working in business process outsourcing (BPO), information technology, as well as pharmaceutical and medical technology. Improved accessibility and public transportation, big car park capacity of office buildings, lower rents compared to the city centre and periphery of KL, and being a place where people desire to be have all added to Petaling Jaya’s charm and demand. 

Taking food from home is a very good option if you want to spend less and eat better. If you also have to lose weight, do not hesitate, take the food in Tupperware.

If you prepare your own menus, you control what you eat better and you don’t have to always eat a boring salad to avoid gaining weight.

It’s a shame, but in general, street food options tend to be unhealthy in the long run. The menus offered by many restaurants are too caloric and lack vegetable options. In many cases, although we try to choose “the healthiest” or “the least caloric”, everything is prepared with an excessive amount of oil.

If instead of the menu, we choose the sandwich option, in the long run our diet will be unbalanced and monotonous.

Therefore, if you do not want to spoil your health because of your schedules, these tips are proposed for eating from Tupperware Home meal prep.

Rescue traditional recipes

Eating in the office or at any work place using the tupperware method should not lead to the abuse of fried or precooked foods, nor to the typical monotony of pasta salads. We must rescue those traditional recipes that we already know to lead a healthy diet rich in nutrients.

Cook tasty and healthy dishes that at the same time can be transported to the workplace without spoiling or changing their nutritional characteristics, it is possible. 

Organize your tupperware

Our menu must be varied, healthy and balanced so, as we have explained in the healthy triangle, our Tupperware will be organized in the same way.

The tupperware that we are going to consume must contain a portion of foods that contain carbohydrates (rice, pasta, potatoes, chuscas, or failing that, a bit of whole wheat bread …), a portion of protein foods (fish, meat or eggs) , a portion of vegetables either raw or cooked and for dessert, a fruit.

You can also take a plate of legumes (lentils, chickpeas, beans …) or quinoa cooked with vegetables and that provide you with the nutrients you need.

Take care of hygienic measures

It uses the food hygiene methods that we already know for the preservation and preparation of all food groups, thus preventing the food from degrading later in the tupir:

When some type of sauce or dressing is added to any preparation, it is preferable to add it at the time of ingestion.

If you have a hot dish or stew in a Tupperware, it is better to cook it correctly before leaving the house and let it cool open, then we will close it and heat it at the time of consumption.

Techniques such as cooking, steaming, sautéing or stir-frying, sautéing, soups and purees, grilling or braising are recommended when preparing the dishes to be transported in Tupperware. Each one will contribute some final characteristics to the food, so we must choose them according to our objective. For example, if we want a juicier and tastier dish we can choose a sauce, while if we want to get a crunchy texture we need a stir fry.
