FattyDaddyFattyMummy catering buffet featuring a variety of Tingkat-style rice and vegetable dishes in chafing trays.

It started on a Tuesday I’d rather forget.

Work ran late, the fridge was empty, and I’d hit that quiet kind of tired where cooking feels like climbing a hill. I’d been meaning to try tingkat delivery in Singapore for months, and that evening finally pushed me over the edge. I signed up for a week of tingkat and let someone else worry about dinner.

I picked FattyDaddyFattyMummy’s Love Tingkat, mostly because it’s the one that keeps coming up for health-conscious families in Singapore. No MSG, zero canned food, zero processed ingredients, and HPB Healthier Choice certified. That last part mattered to me. I wanted real daily meals, not a shortcut dressed up as one.

FattyDaddyFattyMummy Love Tingkat: Ordering Was Easier Than I Expected

You can order straight off fattydaddyfattymummy.com or through FoodLine. I went with FoodLine, and the five-day trial for 2 pax came to $173.31 with GST, no delivery charge to the door unless you’re in a condo and want it brought directly to your unit. Brown rice is available too, at $1.40 per pax per day, though you can’t mix white and brown rice in the same order.

Here’s the honest part. The dinner window is 3pm to 7pm, and you don’t get to choose a time. One day my food arrived at 4pm, another day closer to 6.30pm. If you’re the type who plans dinner to the minute, that wide window is going to test your patience.

The food comes in paper containers, soup packed separately. Not fancy, but functional. Everything held together, nothing leaked, and it reheated well after a couple of minutes.

Daily Meals That Tasted Like Someone's Kitchen, Not a Canned Food Factory

Homemade chicken curry with potatoes, carrots, and fresh cilantro served in a stainless steel tiffin container.

The first night, I opened the Curry Chicken and knew straight away this wasn’t restaurant cooking pretending to be homey. It actually was.

Warm, gently spiced, a little sweet from the curry leaves. Cooked in canola oil rather than the heavy stuff, and you could taste the difference. Not the thick, oily gravy you’d get at a zi char stall. Lighter. Well balanced. The kind of thing you’d eat without feeling weighed down after.

The Steamed Fish was my quiet favourite. Soft, clean, no heavy sauce hiding anything. It tasted fresh, and there’s a certain trust that builds when a fish arrives without needing to shout. This is the kind of food quality that makes Love Tingkat worth comparing to other caterers in Singapore.

Then the Prawn Paste Chicken. That one had the most going on, savoury, fragrant, and satisfying in a way that felt genuinely home cooked. It reheated well too, still tender the second time round. Good protein, good flavour, and not a trace of anything processed.

The seasoning across everything is mild. If you grew up on restrained home cooking, you’ll feel right at home. If you want bold, salty, restaurant-level punch, some of these dishes will read as plain. That’s a deliberate choice: less salt, less oil, no MSG, no canned shortcuts. It’s a healthier option, and it shows.

And I have to be fair about the soup. It’s the weak link. Mine came thin and watery more than once, the vegetables a little underdone. It’s the one part of an otherwise nutritious meal that felt like an afterthought. I’d hoped for something closer to what Empress Porridge or Kim Paradise serve in terms of warmth and depth, but the soup here is designed to be light, not comforting in that slow-cooked way.

Healthier Choice Certified Food Delivery: Is It Worth the Money?

Price is where people will split.

For 2 pax over five days, it works out to roughly $15.50 per person per day. Rice costs a little extra on top. That’s not cheap for tingkat delivery in Singapore, and the portions are sensible rather than generous.

If you eat rice alongside, the meals are plenty. If you’re a big eater expecting a mountain of food, you might finish dinner still glancing at the fridge. A minimum order of 1 pax makes it flexible for solo diners, though the value improves with more pax.

What you’re really paying for is the cooking philosophy. Less oil, less salt, fresh ingredients, no MSG, no canned food, no processed shortcuts. For me, that felt like a fair trade on the nights I just couldn’t face the stove. And unlike food delivery apps where you’re choosing between Neo Garden catering platters or a last-minute mini buffet order, this arrives quietly every weekday like a dependable routine.

If you ever need something for a bigger occasion, FattyDaddyFattyMummy also does mini buffet catering and buffet catering for corporate events and gatherings. Their mini buffet options are worth a look if you’re planning something beyond daily meals.

Healthier Choice: A Few Things to Know Before You Order

  • Delivery days: Monday to Friday only, no weekends, no public holidays.

  • Tingkat delivery timing: Dinner between 3pm and 7pm, lunch between 10am and 1pm, no specific slot available.

  • Halal: No, the food is non-halal.

  • Rice: You can’t mix white and brown rice in one order. Choose one.

  • Spice: A no-spicy option is available, which removes curry, black pepper, and spicy ingredients.

  • Refunds: Strict no-refund policy once your plan starts, so check the website and choose carefully.

  • Customer service: The team is responsive on WhatsApp, and customers have described them as polite and helpful with skipped meals or delivery questions.

One small tip. Start with the five-day trial before committing to anything longer. It’s the sensible way to find out whether the mild flavour profile and the wide delivery window suit your household and your week.

Who I’d Send Here: Families, Seniors, and Anyone Done with Cooking on Weekdays

I’d point families toward this without hesitation, especially ones feeding kids, a mum, a dad, or elderly parents alongside younger household members. The no-spicy option and the gentle seasoning make it easy for different ages to share the same dishes. Seniors who prefer softer, less salty, nutritious home cooked meals will do well here too.

It suits customers who care more about what’s in their food than about bold flavour or impressive presentation. If that’s you, Love Tingkat is a great option.

But if you live for punchy, saucy Chinese dishes or eat in large portions, this probably won’t fully satisfy you. And if you need your food delivery at an exact hour, that 3pm to 7pm window will frustrate you.

Me? By Friday, I wasn’t dreading dinner anymore. The dishes were fresh, the meals were nutritious, and I was genuinely glad to have one less decision at the end of a long day. That alone said something.
