Recounting the "utterly disappointing" experience, Estelle Liu said she had placed an advance order on foodpanda's grocery delivery platform on May 22, requesting for the groceries to be delivered to Chen Su Lan Methodist Children's Home on Monday (May 24) morning.

Is "requesting for" correct?

Thanks!

@tanguatlay,
I prefer "requesting that" (I think it sounds better) as the verb "request" already means that you are asking for something. It's possible to write it this way as well:
