There are so many reasons to cook at home and yet, it is alarming to note that urban dwellers are not having much of it. Studies have revealed that having home-cooked meals as a family regularly leads to healthier and happier beings, especially the kids. A close knitted family through daily get together meals would also most likely to have grown up children who are less likely to abuse alcohol, drugs and smoking in their teenage years. Having home-cooked meals on a regular basis also tend to be healthier as we naturally consume less sugar and processed foods as compared to outside food. Preservatives, MSG, sugar, salt are commonly found in most outside foods for various commercial reasons which usually result in lower energy levels and poor mental health. Having home-cooked meals five or more days a week is even associated with a longer lifespan. Communal meals not only can make us feel happier but also brings along better mental health benefits in the long term. The reason bei

Winter time is usually associated with illnesses like colds and flu. We tend to consume vitamins and other dietary supplements which we believe will protect us from these on-off illnesses. However, most of us will still end up with some form of flu and cold symptoms during the winter months. Soup consumption has been known to be a traditional remedy for such illnesses in the olden days from the European continent to the east such as China, Korea & Japan. This practice has been documented from as long back as 4000 years back, as a soothing remedy especially during time of sickness and the winter season. So, why is Soup good for you when you are sick? And its health benefits… Dating back to thousands of years of history, soup has been one of the staple diets in our meals. There’s no doubt that soup is so good for you because of its  nutritional benefits .

I spend most of my income on food so I tried to save money by cooking meals as often as I can. Every month, I tell myself I will spend only $5 on each meal but the few food choices that fit my budget are so limited that it makes it hard to stick to my budget. $5 for a meal is perfectly feasible if I cook but, who has the time? As each month passed by, I came to realize that more and more factors stood in the way of my financial goals. It’s hard to reject meeting up with friends after work. It’s hard to tell yourself not to go to that one-time Hanabi Festival at SingPost Centre. And it’s hard to say no to colleagues for dinner after work. I end up having to starve myself towards the end of the month to keep to my budget. There will always be social pressures or lifestyle habits that tempt you spend more than you need to. I’ve learnt that being disciplined means knowing the difference between what is necessary, what is not, and how to control yourself. So, I tried an unconventiona

As a working middle income family with kids living in a cosmopolitan city such as Singapore, you are faced with daily challenges such as sending your kids to schools on time, commuting to work in crowded public transport, rushing for a quick bite among the lunch crowd, work challenges faced in workplace, getting knock off on time to pick up the kids, and finally, rushing home to get dinner ready. Yes, this is the lifestyle of the average working class living in Singapore. With this much of activities in a full day, it really kind of drains your energy by the time you are settled down on the bed. Where’s the work-life balance we are talking here? It is no surprise that the younger generations are getting married late, and not to say having kids while they are still fighting for a career. It is however a totally different story altogether for those born in the 70s & 80s like myself. We are faced with the mentioned challenges on a daily basis. Topics will always hover aro

I’ve watched my fair share of Tasty videos while scrolling through my social media feed and they share short cooking videos that make preparing your own meals look so quick and easy. But the sad truth is that it is never simple. Grocery shopping and prepping the ingredients before getting down to the actual cooking takes time and effort. Experience and talent can teach you how to mix in random ingredients you have in the fridge to get a decent meal but who has the time to learn? Hence, for those of us who cannot cook to save our lives, Tingkat delivery services are a welcomed experience. Like any food delivery service, you submit an order online and food is delivered to you for your dinner meals every weekday. These services are known to get boring after a while because the caterers tend to serve the same dishes and over time, the predictability overweighs the convenience of having your meals delivered to you at an extremely affordable price.Out of the 15 brands that I have tasted,

Some caterers offer Tingkat as an extension of their business and deliver daily homemade meals to your doorstep. It’s convenient and an easy way for busy mothers to feed their families. However, most require you to commit to their meal plan for consecutive weekdays and often offer 20-day packages that basically mean it spans over a month. While it can be fuss-free to not have to think about what to eat, it can also be stifling because it means you don’t have the flexibility of eating out whenever you want. If Tingkat caterers provide homemade meals that resemble those we grew up eating, then the rigidity of the packages are similar to a stern parent telling you to eat at home everyday! However, the catering business is aggressively competitive and those that want to stay in business have adapted to the changing trends. Besides having the best catering tingkat menu , they improved to cater to your social and eating out needs too. Here are 5 caterers that allow a more flexible Tingk
