10 Tingkat Delivery Services In Singapore With Reviews For Those Who Are Too Busy Or Tired To Cook


Tingkat delivery in Singapore


Not all of us have the time to cook at home, so we turn to our go-to fast food joints, restaurants, or delivery apps. But eating out isn’t always healthy and can get expensive. Since we’re already spending that money, we might as well consider healthier meal options.

Enter tingkat delivery services in Singapore, which conveniently bring balanced, home-cooked meals to our doorstep with menus that change every day. Some of these companies are even dietician-approved and Halal-certified.


What is tingkat delivery?


Tingkat delivery is a colloquial term for a system of daily delivered meals. The concept was based on how people would pack tiffin meals for their loved ones in the past. It gets its name from the fact that these meals were often packed in metal, stacked boxes, or tingkats.

It steers away from traditional food delivery, as the meals are usually family-style, with multiple dishes for sharing to eat with rice. These days, dishes can be quite inventive, with international cuisines like Western, Korean, and Thai dishes available.

Tingkat meals are also delivered across a span of days, rather than a one-off order. This allows for meal planning and time saved on cooking and cleaning.

1. Ding Caters Singapore


Non-spicy replacement dishes (from $10.95/meal)


As much as Singaporean cuisine features chillies prominently, not all of us are able to take the heat. If that’s you, Ding Caters Singapore’s monthly menus highlight which of their tingkat dishes are spicy.

They’ll even offer a replacement dish that’s still bursting with flavour but without the need for you to reach for a sip of water after every bite. They also have replacement meals for their dishes with seafood; you’ll get fish or a different protein, based on what’s available.

Prices start from $10.95/meal, where you’ll get 3 dishes and a soup, or 4 dishes for lunch and/or dinner. These are delivered daily in thermal bags, so they’ll still be warmed when you serve them at the dining table. Do note that meals don’t come with rice, but you can add on white or brown for just $1/pax per meal.

Price: From $10.95/meal (20-day package)
Delivery locations and timings: All residential areas except Tuas, Sentosa, CBD, and Core Downtown. Lunch: 10am-1.30pm | Dinner: 3.15pm-7pm

Empress Porridge review: “To be fair, the food is nice and doesn’t leave a metallic after-taste characteristic of MSG. The portion is a tad small for the price paid. Only flip side is that they come in plastic containers. Not so environmentally friendly.” Eric Lee via FoodLine

Jessie Catering review: “Food was tasty and not that oily or salty in my opinion; that would be a plus point for people who want their meals to be healthier.
