What to get for lunch/dinner?



Yes, the million-dollar question for most of us and their boyfriend/girlfriend. With so many F&B outlets opening up within a stone throw away from residences, why do people still ask such silly questions? That’s right because we spend 80% of the time eating out from the same place!! So, what are some alternatives to this madness where we are constantly eating the same thing over and over again?

Food delivery services


Yes, food delivery services such as GrabFood, Foodpanda and Deliveroo are on the rise and their loyalty rewards are pretty tempting. GrabPoints (Grab) and Discount coupons (Foodpanda/Deliveroo). With a few taps on the screen of your smart devices, you can wait at the comfort of your home for the food to arrive. How easy is that? Moreover, the choices are plenty. You can get food from places you would never want to set foot on, probably because of the distance. But now, with technology that is not a problem anymore. But it may not make financial sense if you do it every day for every meal. Do consider the delivery fee as well.

Meal subscription services


Yet, another service that went popular recently due to the increasing trends of eating healthy. The popular ones consist of Grain, YOLO and AMGD. While they are heavily focused on calculating macros (macronutrients) to give you optimal meals, they can be quite expensive as well, an average of $8 to $20. Granted that they look fancy and healthy at the same time, with their flexible plans that allow cancellation at any time. It is not feasible to have it every day as your go-to meals. Having them a day easily sets you back at close to an average of $45 for 3 full meals. That is more than $1,300 every month just on food!


Tingkat delivery services


The lesser-known food options for the millennials. In the past, tingkat Singapore was pretty popular among the masses. Now they are seen as being traditional, old and obsolete. However, they feel the closest to home when it comes to outside food. For those who don’t know what’s a tingkat catering, they are food packed in a metal tiffin that serves like a lunchbox. These metal tins keep the food warm while they wait to be consumed. Not only does it offer some form of homeliness, but they are also quite affordable as well. Worried that the food selections might be limited or unhealthy? Le Xin Catering promises their tingkat Singapore no msg, less oil and less salt as a healthier choice in their meals despite being the cheapest tingkat in Singapore. They also guarantee no two same dishes within the same month. They have their tingkat lunch delivery and tingkat dinner menus available online, so you know what to expect.

So, the next time you ask yourself what’s for lunch or dinner, you can consider some of these options and perhaps go for the tingkat trial before committing further. They can be on a one-time basis or a long-term choice depending on your taste, preference and most importantly your budget.
