Is Tingkat Meals Healthy?



For those who do not know what a Tingkat or a Tingkat catering is, it’s basically delivered meals packed in metal tins or metal “lunchboxes” that reminds you of post-war Singapore. Nevertheless, Tingkat meals can often remind us of home-cooked food if you ever miss home-cooked food. Times have changed and people are starting to cook less and eating out more because of convenience. However, for convenience sake, we may not be taking care of our health the proper way. Outside foods usually contain more oil, salt and other forms of seasoning to enhance their flavour. Therefore, Tingkat delivery is a healthier choice and most convenient.

Tingkat delivery services cover your lunch and/or dinner, depending on your subscription. These subscriptions usually come in 10 days or 20 days, depending on your budget. Caterers such as Le Xin do offer a Tingkat trial period of 5 or 10 days to see whether you will like their food and service or not. They do not have deliveries on public holidays, so the missing day will be carried forward to the next available day.

Now the question is, is it really healthy compared to other food delivery services or just outside food in general? The answer is Yes! Tingkat caterers or service providers aim to achieve the level of “taste-like-home” for their Tingkat. This includes the way they prepare and cook their food. At home, we don’t rely so much on seasonings to make them palatable. Just like a normal family meal, these caterers only use fresh and organic foods from the market to prepare these dishes. And these include no MSG in their foods!

To spice things up, caterers such as Le Xin Catering has an extensive menu that ensures no two same dishes within the same month. Given a choice, most people wouldn’t want to eat the same dishes over and over again.

If you are a busy working adult that does not have the privilege of having home-cooked food, you should explore Tingkat as one of your alternatives to eating out or food deliveries. It will cost you less in the long run in terms of monetary and probably health.
