11 tingkat delivery ideas for delicious & fuss-free meals

In our present fast-paced society, many of us wear different hats, including having a full-time job and being a parent that needs to cook for your family. Tingkat deliveries are meant to provide convenient and delicious catered meals for households that need a little hand— so that life is a little more relaxed.

I’m sure you have felt annoyed after arriving home from a hectic 8-hour office shift, only to realise that you still had to prepare dinner for the family. At times like these, don’t you wish you had a food delivery service that could send different varieties of delicious food to your doorstep whenever and wherever you needed it?

With that in mind, I’ve compiled a guide of 11 tingkat delivery idea for delicious & fuss-free meals.

1. Neo Garden Catering

With over 3 decades of experience in the catering industry, Neo Garden Catering is known for providing exceptional quality meals to people of all age groups. As we all have our own unique preferences and schedules, Neo Garden offers 3-day, 4-day, or 5-day weekly tingkat menu options, depending on the customers’ needs.

Whether you desire 4 dishes or 3 dishes with 1 soup, you’ll find something right up your alley with the Family Omakase Tingkat Meal Plan

Starting from just S$7.25 per pax, prepare your taste buds for an array of international cuisines from Korea, Japan, Thailand and more. The Combo Meal includes 3 dishes and 1 carb. If you’re seeking a short-term meal arrangement, Neo Garden Catering even has a no-frills 10-day meal subscription— they have really thought of everything! It’s also comforting to know that the tingkat dishes have less sodium, oil and no added MSG, ensuring a healthier meal similar to mum’s home-cooked goodness.

I received the Japanese option which features 3 dishes with 1 carb. The Chicken Karaage is a hot favourite with crispy golden-brown morsels of fried chicken and a creamy mayo dip. 

The Mackerel Simmered in Light Dashi Broth is as scrumptious as it is visually stunning with its spectrum of colours. The grilled mackerel is moist and buttery, topped with steamed carrots, daikon, edamame, mushrooms and dehydrated pickled ginger for a multitude of textures and flavours.

The Tamago with Mayo consists of 3 lightly-sweetened, pillowy pieces of rolled omelette with an unctuous layer of rich mayonnaise, acting as a perfect snack to your meal.

Differing slightly from yaki soba, a popular Japanese street food, the Yaki Udon features plump, chewy pieces of udon stir-fried with black mushroom slices, egg, sliced cabbage and shredded carrot.

Kim Paradise provides scrumptious and healthy tingkat meals with less sodium, less oil and no MSG. What’s more, with their weekly updated meal plans, there’s a wide range of dishes for you to explore.

I tried the Family Tingkat which came with a piping-hot serving of Sze Chuan Vegetable W Tomato Soup. The light clear soup was the perfect palate cleanser with its tangy notes emanating from the pickled mustard veggies and tomato chunks.

The Steamed Chicken Patty may look simple and healthy, but boy was I impressed! The tender minced chicken had bits of onions and carrots for texture, and the sauce underneath was the perfect accompaniment for my bowl of brown rice.

The Yong Tau Foo is a hearty mix of fishcake, beancurd skin and tau kwa drenched in a satisfyingly sweet and savoury reddish gravy. Boost your daily vegetable intake with the stir-fried Kai Lan with carrots and mushrooms.

Stay tuned on Thursdays for the special Thursday Tingkat combo, featuring Singaporean specialties like Hokkien mee, nasi lemak, and other drool-worthy dishes.

My Deep Fried Fish Fillet arrived on a bed of aromatic Nasi Pandan. The crispy fried fish fillet wasn’t oily and paired really well with the fragrant pandan rice.

The packet of sambal added a much-needed boost of umami-ness which took things up a notch— it was simple yet felt nostalgic. The Malay Style Fried Chicken Wing was lightly-marinated with various spices and fried to perfection.

The Long Beans were sauteed with crunchy sliced onions and julienned carrots, and retained a slightly satisfying crunch. To finish the meal on a sweet note, the Bubur Hitam was filled with shiok, chewy bits of black glutinous rice. It was rich without being overly saccharine and jelak, allowing me to have seconds!

6. Fresher Dinners

If I told you that you could get Tunisian shakshuka, Korean gochujang chicken, and basil macaroni and cheese in a tingkat menu, you’d probably think I was joking. Well, you’d be wrong. Fresher Dinners is a far cry from traditional tingkat concepts, allowing its customers to taste foods from all around the world without the need to purchase a plane ticket.

Not only are their dishes 100% natural, but their sauces, marinades and dips are entirely made from scratch using olive oil and herbs— no shortcuts! Throw dory fish and processed meats out the window, and expect only quality proteins such as sea bass, salmon and fresh farmed chicken to be used. 

For those with little ones, rest assured that their recipes are kid-friendly. You can finally enjoy dishes like Beef Cheek Rendang together with your kids without worrying about the spice level.

Instead of arriving at ambient temperatures which are a magnet for bacteria, the food is blast chilled upon cooking to lock in its freshness and to maintain a high level of hygiene. Simply follow the clear and concise labels on the food cover to heat up your food, and you’re all set! You could choose to microwave it, steam it in the oven, or heat it up on the stove.

The recipes are packaged in kraft boxes and tailored to weekly orders to minimise food wastage. Deliveries are made every 2 days instead of daily, which reduces your carbon footprint by half. 

Fresher Dinners also offer an exclusive concierge service that allows you to make orders, check your delivery status or raise special requests.

I savoured the Signature Dry Laksa and Grilled Chicken in Satay Sauce dinner, which was voted customers’ choice. Each strand of thick bee hoon was slathered with the robust and coconutty laksa gravy and perfumed with the aromatic chopped daun kesum. The prawns were fresh and plump and paired really well with the soft tau pok

I enjoyed pouring the smoky and chunky peanut sauce over the tender, flavourful chunks of chicken which was so delicious. The cucumber and shallot cubes helped cut down its richness.
