For many busy parents, planning and preparing daily meals can be an overwhelming task. The constant stress of trying to balance work, parenting, and housework can make cooking a tedious chore that nobody wants to deal with.
Mother-of-two and product marketing specialist, Elizabeth Koh, 33, knows the struggle all too well. With school-going children aged eight and 10, the working mum shares how her kids used to wait for her to reach home in the evenings before she could start cooking and serving them their meal.
“They would end up having dinner close to 8pm. After a while we decided to use a tingkat service so they can have their dinner earlier,” recalls Elizabeth.

The convenience and time-saving benefits of tingkat services has been a game-changer for busy families like Elizabeth’s. Savoury Catering is one such service – all meals are cooked fresh and delivered daily to your doorstep, which means no more “what to cook for dinner tomorrow” dilemma, grocery shopping, cooking, or cleaning up. It’s a stress-free solution that saves everyone time and energy.
If you’re worried about variety, rest assured that Savoury Catering offers over 200 home-cooked style dishes, including kid-friendly options and a Healthier Choice menu.
“I visited their social media and saw their variety of dishes. They also shared how they prepared the dishes and this was the winning factor on why I chose them,” says Elizabeth who has been using Savoury Catering for a year now.
With the Everyday Staples meal plan, Elizabeth’s family enjoys classic home-style Chinese dishes such as braised soya sauce chicken, curry fish and spinach with shimeji mushroom.
The menu also offers Thai and Korean dishes, plus child-friendly options such as Hainanese chicken chop, Har Cheong chicken wings, and hashbrowns.
Elizabeth shares that her kids look forward to the soy garlic korean fried chicken (pictured above, left), while she and her husband love the steamed snakehead fish in shallot oil (pictured above, right) – deboned snakehead fish slices steamed Hong Kong-style and drizzled with a shallot oil and soy sauce dressing.
Another reason why Elizabeth picked Savoury Catering is that all meals are thoughtfully prepared with less oil, less salt, and no added MSG. They also use vegetable oil and offer a Healthier Choice meal plan that is lower in calories, yet still full of flavour. Dishes include peach gum melon soup, trio coloured eggs and braised chicken with basil.
For those who love their soups, the tangy tomato and tofu soup (pictured above, left) and the double-boiled Cantonese-style lotus root and peanut chicken will be clear winners. You also have the option to choose between white or brown rice (pictured above, right).
Not sure if a tingkat service is right for you? Savoury Catering offers trial plans for its Everyday Staples – which comes with three dishes and a soup – starting at $255+ for ten days for a family of three. If you prefer four dishes instead of a soup, the trial plan starts at $270+ for a family of three.
The Healthier Choice trial plan – which comes with two dishes and a soup – starts at $465 for ten days for a family of three. After the trial, you can choose to continue with a 12-day, 16-day, or 20-day plan.
“Opting for a tingkat service has benefitted us as my husband and I now have more time to spend with the kids and rest, and less housework needs to be done,” adds Elizabeth. “We’ve also saved money since there is less grocery shopping.”
