So we decided to try tingkat (meal delivery) cause Colin would whine and fuss each time I'm at the stove or sink preparing dinner. For many reasons, he preferred having my company, even it that meant sitting on sofa when he plays by himself. I have to be on standby near enough for him to ran over for a hug when being startled. :D
I ordered Kim's Kitchen 5 day trial for promotional price of $40. Chose the 4 dishes menu cause we usually eat porridge for dinner. Will try their 3 dishes and 1 soup after this trial if it is good. :) They told me that MSG was used in the food after I alerted them that hubby has allergy to MSG. We still gave it a shot since the staff told me they put a little bit only..
Food was delivered around 5.30pm for Serangoon area.
This was how food was being packaged. Plastic containers were used for trial.
Date stamped and time advisory for consumption.

This was it. Our awesome week with Kim's Kitchen. The portion was reasonable.
Well, good news! We didn't feel thirsty after dinner. :)) The 'little bit of MSG' should be true?
Anyway, it is actually $1 to 4 cheaper to buy 4 dishes from economical vegetable rice stall from coffeeshop.
But it's worth to try Kim's cause some dishes can't be bought outside.
We decided to order Kim's during alternate months. :)
Got to this blog as I was looking for fabrics in Singapore and clicked into KAMAVE.
ReplyDeleteLove your entries, so drop you a comment just so you know.
I may try out Kim's Kitchen too after looking at this post.
Hi Ivy, thank you for visiting! :) Glad you enjoyed my entries. I finally found time to update this entry with our non-fussy food rating.
DeleteMy experience with the tingkat service has not been pleasant. As two consecutive friday's vegetable dishes were sour although we consumed before the recommended time. Very bad.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sharing. Wonder if you are still using Kim's?
