  In Singapore, food waste concerns are on the rise. Last year, we threw out 744 million kg of food – the weight of about 51,000 double-decker buses! The sheer amount of food wastage is troubling in two ways. One, because it adds to the limited space in Singapore’s only landfill. Two, because Singapore must import most of its food due to our limited land resources to grow our own, we’re wasting a significant number of resources and energy that goes into growing, processing, and transporting food for our consumption. This in turn also increases our carbon footprint, as we’ll have to find ways to dispose of the wastage in an environmentally safe manner. What can we do as consumers? For starters, food waste at the consumer level tends to be because we buy too much for our own consumption, and then throw it out once it hits the best-by dates. Another way is when we order too much food when we are eating out at buffets or hawker centres and find ourselves unable to finish our food. In b...

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.

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 servic...

Circuit breaker, a localized version of the lockdown, many people are found staying at home most of the time, only to leave their homes for meals. At the same time, food options are quite limited, and spending more money on food delivery services is not feasible in the long run. With laws preventing the congregation of non-familial members of the public, food options such as  buffet catering  are off the menu. However, there are always other kinds of food options catered to individuals or even family members that are not affected by the new laws introduced during this COVID-19 crisis. Tingkat catering   is one of the popular services among the older generation as they are usually not IT savvy enough to know what other food delivery options are.  Tingkat in Singapore   has been here for decades and it will continue to stay because of how it closely resembles home cooking as compared to any other food delivery options. For  Tingkat , they are availabl...
