The study is quantitative and utilizes quota sampling. The researchers distributed survey questionnaires to 100 respondents, with both the results revealing that most of the respondents who responded to online reviews are male and female between the ages of 19 to 25. According to the researcher’s findings, several respondents claimed that COVID-19 changed their eating habits based on food accessibility and availability. Most of them claimed that it was challenging for them to cook meals because there were no supplies accessible in shops or food stalls due to shortages or shortages in supplies brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak resulted in a lack of desire or a production shortfall, which led some establishments to be required to close. It nonetheless causes problems for people who want to eat out at restaurants because there aren’t many options in the area. The researchers suggested that eating nutritious foods be practiced and even more strongly advocated for, especially during this time when health risks are increasing due to the pandemic.
