Hello,

Just want to know if anyone has across and Home Meal Delivery companies/caterers that provide nice and quality food?
 


i'm currently using House of Catering.
Food is not bad, portion is good. I ordered for 2 person, and can cater to both me and hubby and my 3yrs old son.
I chosed this is because they have unlimited days of cancellation allowed, unlike some company which only allows max of 2days. this is good when my hubby report incamp for reservist.
and this caterer allows me to exclude more than 5 food (eg, bittergourd, pig tail) which we don't take. others only allow max of 2 only.
 
Hi Karen,

Thank you for the recommendation. I like the idea where I can exclude food which I dun like.
 
hi blessings,
ya, this owner is nice also, sometimes if the packer made a mistake by excluding the wrong item, after i call him up, he will replace an additional dishes the next for u. ^_^
 
i've been caterer-hopping (so far used 4 caters in 3 mths) and still haven't come across the one i feel like continuing for more than a month.

haven't tried house of catering yet. how is the portion of veg and fried food? the most of the caterers i used provide too much fried dishes and too little veg...
 
Hi Karen,

Do you have the contact? My fren is looking for a good caterer too. How much did you pay for? Oh ya, how's the portion of veg n fried food, just like what couscous mentioned? Thks.
 
Hi Couscous: which are the caterers that always offer fried stuff? I also dun like that leh. Hope to have more veges like wat u said.

Hi Karen: House of catering offers food with no MSG which sounds good but i notice also quite a no. of fried food offered. Is it true?

Hi Js' Mum: The contact for House of Catering is 6246 4644. http://www.houseofcatering.com/tingkat.htm
 
hey i have this contact which i have using them for 2months. They are called the NEW CENTURY number is 62804221. The first month when i ordered, they have a promotion $140 for two with rice. I dont know if this promo still on. The service is good becos i came across cancelling my two day meal. They made a mistake and send me the meals. When i called them, without asking much, they apologise and refund me for another day. Of cos the food that send to us will given to us free.
 
Hi All, sorry for the late reply.
I ordered the 2pax package @$188 per mth. Their veg portion is definitely much more than the other dishes.
For eg, yesterday the menu is Tong Po Meat, Fried batang fish(2 big pcs), veg, and salted veg pork soup. I'm using microwave container, the veg is filled up to 70~80%.

They have those deluxe package also, $208, the diff is that, for wed &amp; Fri, they will include rice (eg, pineapple rice, fried rice) or mee (eg, fried hongkong mee, fried beehoon etc).

I did not take that package, cause sometimes the rice/mee is spicy, my son cant take spicy.
overall, i can say the portions is good enuff for 2adults and my 3yrs old son. ^_^
 
hi couscous,
for house of catering, they don't offer fried dishes often, the most 2 times per wk, some times only once a wk. If u are interested, i can scanned the latest menu which i just received yesterday to u.
u can email me @[email protected] or PM me, sometimes i may just missed this thread. ^_^
 
hi blessing. sorry for late reply. my impression of the caterers as follows:

Select - wider variety of dishes but using MSG and rather oily.
Le Xin - No MSG but manu rather limited. Veg dish consists of only 1 type of veg (cabbage appears very frequently)
Meng Hiang - Flexible in a sense that they will give u 2 veg dishes when they cook 2 types of veg. but oily/salty
KCK - No MSG. Tend to use more than 1 type of veg. Most of the time fish is deepfried.

karen, i saw the menu in their website. thanks for the offer anyway. i'm considering to try them when my current order ends.
 
Hi,
I'm currently using Le Xin. Very sick of the food liao... would like to try a new caterer...

Karen,
your package without rice right? Is the food oily or salty? Lexin was oily for my liking... Also, do you recommend the soup by HOC? Is it like diluted and salty?

Jud,
this new century delivers islandwide for lunch? Cos i stay woodlands... is the food oily or salty? How do you like the food?

Thanks for your comments!
 
bbee
I'm staying in wdlands also.
So far, i find the food just nice, not so oily, nor salty. the reason i'm sticking to HOC is because the food is not salty (my son only got 1 functioning kidney, so can't take salty food). The soup is not bad also, not really dilute. especially the herbal soup, my son love it! he love drinking it! ^_^
 
I tried a few caterers before and so far, Jia jia before. Quite good. Portion of vegetables is also a lot.
 
Hi there,
am still looking for a caterer to replace Le Xin. Le Xin is good cos unlimited cancellations... but sick of the food liao.. Anyone has good recommendations for the following criteria:

1. No MSG, not too salty and oily
2. Unlimited cancellations
3. Delivers to Woodlands
4. Fresh and delicious, without too many fried stuffs..

Thanks!
 
O ya, already tried HOC... feel the food is very similar to Le Xin, so much that I wonder if they are the same caterer....

any other recommendations?
 
i currently using Neo garden and they are also called Best catering. use them for 3wks already. find them not bad but certain days can be sub standard also lah...not everyday good. i opt for 4 dishes w/o soup. as for portion wise, definitely enough for 2pax but 1 or 2 dishes can be v little lor. eg, for 1 nite, the fried dish they oni give me 2 pathetic small pc of vegterian deep fried prawn....v little lor. out of the 4 dishes, a lot of time 1 dish will be v little. but overall i rate them 7/10.
 
hi cpnda,
u have been catering from neo garden for how long already? actually they dont always repeat the same food, rite? for the 3wks, i think they did not repeat the same food. i meant at least not the same way of cooking method. but i hate their tau kwa dishes....
 
hi jhmum,
i tried theirs for 3 mths, sick of it liao....
dun always repeat, but at times their dish is very pathetic.... esp i remember there's a dish which is dunno wat fish like those ikan bilis.... :S

i saw tis kims kitchen, will try it out...:D
used to cater frm jessie catering... not bad tho but not the soup... too bland... else the dish not bad but tends to repeat.... with them for half a yr....
 
hi cpnda,
ya ya. i agree sometime neo garden is so stingy on certain dish. even those cheap stuff like fish cake they can give so few pathetic small pcs only which i dun understand y.

jessie catering tend to repeat dishes ah...hmm, i was still thinking to switch to them after i get sick of neo garden. but i dun like to keep eating repeated dishes :p

as for kims kitchen, i no try b4,. maybe after u try can let me know hows the food and portion...TIA..ehe
 
just sharing, we are getting our tingkat from buffet paradise. so far, we have been okay with their food and service.

the portions are okay, quite generous sometimes
they do not use msg, canned food etc
they are accommodative, we only take 3 days a week and they accept unlimited cancellations given 1 day notice. I cancelled today's meal on Saturday morning, and they could accommodate.

so far so good.

only thing, the rice is a bit dry and the quality of the rice could be better, cos they use "old rice" which is cheaper.
 
jessie catering out of my list for sure..

service telok..

late dnr delivery never bother to infrm. imagine me n boy wait til 830pm!!
 
We have been using Neo Garden since January this year. Hubby likes the food although quite salty sometimes. They use msg but not too much because we don't feel thirty after food

I don't mind switching caterer if there are better options but very few caterers deliver lunch. Any recommendation for caterer that do lunch delivery?
 
We use Kim's Kitchen. We are not huge eaters so the 2pax portion is enough for 3 (incl. maid) with leftovers. Food quality is reasonable (not salty, no MSG) but I don't like their fried food. We asked for 7.00pm delivery but it's getting progressively earlier. Today the food came at 3.30pm...but it doesn't matter because all the food gets cooked at the same time anyway (12pm-3pm).

Microwave containers cost an extra $10 per month and we had no choice but to take it because they have run out of tingkat containers.
 
We tried HOC from the earlier recommendation in this thread. I must say that the food really is lousy! They gave cheap dishes like fake crab sticks, fish cakes, pathetic pieces of meat and yucky vegetables. We have leftovers every nite, it's a waste of $ catering from them!
 
i'm using lexin, the dishes r better than house of catering only thing is lexin's soup taste horrible. like water. i;m also looking for a gd tingkat to change to with gd soup...except i need it for lunch cos i cook for dinner n alot of places don't offer lunch tingkat....

any rec?

Just switch from Select to Kims recently cos they have been using a lot of msg & I can't swallow them anymore. So far for Kim, I am quite happy with it.

Hi Liana and cat_tail
does Kim's Kitchen allow unlimited cancellation?

we are currently using buffetparadize and recently they changed policy... they charge for every cancelled meal... as our schedule means that we tend to cancel meals - because of work appointments and travelling... we do not think we should "pay" for not consuming.

The food is still okay... the soup is fine... no msg but we noticed that the food is slightly more salty than previously.

However, the service level has dropped... not sure if its because there has been some changes to the people there.

we'll be switching out at the end of the current cycle.
 
hi mummies

after reading yr feedback, I decided that dinner delivery is out.

- timing so early so food need to be reheated thus not tasty liao.
- msg
- menu doesnt mean 'what u c is what u get' right?

Previously also ordered dinner delivery but so small portion - 2 pax is just like 1 person's share! Few yrs ago so dont remember name.

My best option is till dabao at one of the 3 coffeeshops - making me sick. sian.

Time to go dabao SIGH!!
 
Hi MummyMaid
some clarification
timing: agree with you there... but really can't help it...
msg: not all use msg, some claim not to... and really do not.
menu : the ones that change are probably the minority

but agree that you should choose whatever that suits you best... we wanted convenience and variety... so tingket only 3 days a week.

you have neighbour aunties who you can outsource your dinner to?
 
Ozzie,
Kim only allow max 3 days cancellation by compensating the meals, not thru refund. I would advise u to go for a 5 day trial 1st & see whether the food suits u. Dun commit so early.
 
hi all,

last 2 days lexin gave me pigtail soup n chicken feet soup!!!!!! o called to tell them i don't want any funny soup . all my soup needs to have chicken or pork ribs! sigh. i'll b stopping after this mth. the soup really sucks. can't really drink it at all. end up throwing it all away. the dish is actually not bad. better than hse of catering...it's the soup.
so far it seems tt there is really no gd tingkat caterer

I need lunch delivery, but i'm staying near CBD. Most caterers dont deliver, any recommendations on caterers who delivers to CBD?
 
hi chrisy,

Ya I agreed Jessie Catering is terrible. Regret never come in here to see your comments. Their food came at 3.30pm and by the time me and my hubby is back from work its 8pm oledi. Vege turn yellow, sometimes there is smell. There was once the fish taste bad and we had stomach upset. The food was not alot and we could not finish our food cos the food taste horible.
 
while buffetparadize food is better than others...i must say that i am amazed at the sheer rudeness of the boss kelvin. i had an issue with 1 of the delivery and gave a call to clarify &amp; gave my feedback. The intent was not to seek refund but clarifications. He felt that not only was he not in the wrong, he also need not make any apologies about his attitude! i said that for the amount of price i'm paying, I should at least get better customer service..and guess what he said 'sorry, i'm not obliged to provide excellent customer service' my god, the sheer arrogance! my blood really boiled after tt conversation...after dropping off the line, i was cursing and swearing to my colleagues and blaming myself for being so stupid as to pay him in full upfront...in fact i cursed him that he will walk into a wall and break 1 of his toes...my colleagues actually said tt I'm too nice! I have used other delivery service before..and honestly they will realy bend over backwards to see what they can do for you...in fact, I have to recommend this Jeslyn from Neo Gdn...she was really wonderful! but the quality of food can really vary..some days can be good, but some days can be really strange and pathetic looking....i really wun recommend any1 to try out buffetparadize...not worth your time giving such pp biz...i rather go back to neo or try someone else
 
hello,
i live within the cbd also and cannot find any tingkat service that comes into cbd. pls let me know if you know of any. thanks.
 
I got to know about buffet paradize from this thread and start using their service about aweek ago. Feel that the quality of their ingredients used are good, guess not many caterer serve steamed fish and veggie like asparagus. their menu is also quite interesting except that I guess the food is cook very early so by the time the food arrived at around 430pm, it is quite cold already. the customer service lady I spoke to is quite friendly but I don't really like their system whereby they charge for cancelled meal.
 


hello, Just wanna share my experience with you all . Lately I order tingkat for lunch and dinner. Lexin for Lunch and Select for dinner.. To my opinion, Lexin is indeed disappointing. As I saw the thread earlier, some comment that they are not that bad actually, may be their standard has dropped now. Most of the food they served end up in the dustbin. Their fried stingray is like rubber and the meat is like dark brown, not fresh at all..I have called to stop their service already.
As for Select, I will say it is better than LX.. At least I don't throw away their food as much as LX, and I find their food "eatable"
