Need a break from cooking or planning your daily meals but don’t want to eat out or queue for takeaways?
Get nutritious, satisfying food delivered to your doorstep on a weekly basis through a meal subscription service, a modern spin on old-school tingkat (tiffin carrier) deliveries. Most services offer a variety of dishes to cater to different palates, dietary requirements and fitness goals.
These 5 meal subscription providers take the stress out of meal preps and make eating at home a breeze.
Fresher Dinners
From $72.40 a week for 3 dinners for 2 persons

Crowd favourites include Ayam Panggang Pedas Manis, Kimchi Relish Chicken, Kimchi-jjigae, Steak n Mash and Tom Yum Seafood Pasta.
Dishes are cooked in small batches following made-from-scratch recipes before delivery, then immediately “blast-chilled” to bring the food temperatures down to the safe zone to retain the food’s texture, flavour and nutrients.
