From Chinese to Halal to vegetarian confinement food, keep reading for the best confinement food services in Singapore
Expecting? If you don’t plan on hiring a confinement nanny, consider booking a confinement food delivery service so you’ll receive healthy, nutritious meals every day. Confinement food is often prepared with mum’s healing in mind – think nutrient-rich dishes with wholesome ingredients like organic rice, rich broths, leafy greens and red dates. And if you think confinement food is all boring and bland, think again! The confinement food delivery menus on offer these days prioritise flavour to get mum’s appetite up. Meeting nutritional needs for mums is just as important, after the body has gone through the fatigue of childbirth and caring for a newborn.
Not sure how it works? Many confinement food services deliver daily throughout the week, with the exception of one or two days. Depending on the package you choose, you may receive larger portions of one set to be eaten over lunch and dinner for the day, or a different set for each meal time. You can order a confinement food package for as little as seven days, all the way up to 40 days.
Fair warning though – these confinement food packages often come with hefty price tags, but are well worth the investment in our opinion! The good news is that many confinement food delivery services in Singapore offer trials, so you can test the food out yourself before committing to a full package. Keep scrolling for the top Chinese confinement food and halal confinement food delivery services in Singapore!
