  Over the past decade, Singaporeans have been eating out more and more often. A 2018 Nielsen survey polled 202 respondents to find that 24% of them have indicated that they eat out daily, while over 55% of them eat out on a weekly basis. Of the 3 meals per day, dinner was the meal that was usually consumed out of home. It’s hardly surprising, given our busy lifestyles and the fast-paced society here in Singapore. Eating out is the most convenient solution to resolving our daily needs, and the wide variety of affordable food in Singapore means that we are spoilt for choice. At the same time, it can be hard to gauge how much food we should order when eating out. We just know that we’re  starving  by the time we finally grab a seat at a crowded hawker centre. Plus, while there may be different portion sizes available, it can still be hard to gauge how hungry we feel to how much we plan to eat. And sometimes, what if the food isn’t to your taste, or you’ve ordered more than ...

  In recent years, there’s a growing awareness of the alarming amount of plastic pollution that we produce. In 2019, to cut down on the amount of plastic waste, more than 270 food and beverage outlets in Singapore phased out their use of disposable plastic straws.   However, plastic straws are not the only culprit either. Think of the plastic forks, spoons, and plastic wrapping around our disposable wooden chopsticks. We throw away all these whenever we take away our food. Most of the time, you receive your food in plastic or Styrofoam containers too. Even for local delights like Hainanese chicken rice, or our beloved black carrot cake, they’re in a paper wrapping lined with plastic that can’t be reused. Not to mention all the takeaway iced coffee and tea we buy every day.   A survey led by students from the National University of Singapore found that we generated an extra 1,334 tonnes of plastic waste from our takeaway and delivery meals during the 2-month circuit b...

  If you have been busy with your work and other schedules, your eating habits are not going to be as fulfilling as before. As a kid, you may have enjoyed the benefits of home-cooked food, but as you grow older, you start to eat out more often and your foods are getting less healthy as the days go by. What if there is a way to get back into the healthier way of eating? What if there is a way to eat home-cooked food without actually cooking at home?! Of course, there is a way and it is called a  Tingkat !! Tingkat catering  has always been part of many society’s histories and it is still in use by many communities as well. It is simply a metallic form of lunchbox then can keep the food warm and nice. Mostly used by construction workers who used to work from day to night in some countries, so that their food can still taste fresh and warm. In Singapore, we have them as a solution to our lack of cooking. Home-cooked food has always been part of every Singaporean’s childhood....

  As the year wraps up in the wake of Covid-19, companies are still encouraging their employees to work from home. Though the situation might change come December, it’s hard to deny the benefits of working from home. For those who use public transport to travel to and from the office, working from home saves a ton on transport costs and having to eat out all the time. Plus, the ability to catch up on that precious extra hour of sleep!   However, for the usual members of the family who usually cook and prepare meals, it’s a headache in more ways than one. Having everyone at home means having to settle everyone’s lunch  and  dinner now. Everyone’s going to be in the mood for something different every day, and your household might even have a picky eater or two. The most convenient method is requesting food delivery services to suit everyone’s palate.    Even so, the delivery cost is not cheap if you must cater to multiple meals over the week. You might not ge...
