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 dietitian-approved and Halal-certified.

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.
Here’s a table that sorts out tingkat delivery services in Singapore by price and delivery areas, allowing you to find the one that best suits your needs.

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 $12.40/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 rice for just $1/pax per meal.
Ding Caters Singapore review: “I’ve ordered from Ding Caters multiple times. Still tasty despite me choosing the ‘healthier’ option (I think it’s less oil and less salt, which is also good for post surgery patients!).”

Neo Garden Catering review: “Food: average to good quality (3.5 stars), but variety is quite lacking (2 stars). “Combo” meals are especially disappointing because a dish is replaced with a generally middling carb (rice/noodle), and lacks vegetables. One “dish” in the combo menu was just a single fish strip for each of us.”

The adult dinner meals are no less appetising. Cuisines rotate daily, so you might enjoy zichar dishes on one day, and Vietnamese or Western food on other days. For lunch, expect bento-style meals where you’re served a variety of sides on top of main dishes – up to 4 sides including dessert, and 2 dishes with 1 carb.
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. The only flip side is that they come in plastic containers. Not so environmentally friendly.”

You can order a packet of white rice at $0.76/day or brown rice at $1.09/day. Meals are delivered in microwaveable containers, and deliveries can be suspended if you’re going on holiday.
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. However, their portion is lesser as compared to 3 other caterers I’ve used, so that’s a consideration to take note of if you have members in the family who are large eaters; might not be sufficient to go around to share.”
