      There are certain days the food can be hard to eat...like boiled lettuce or baked beans. But the days when the food is yummy, we can finish all the food. I am still thinking whether to switch to 3 dish 1 soup.

      Most of my expenditure also from food. I still have to cook lunch which is a soup and rice since kids and I eat little. Sometimes, it is just my daughter and I eating.

      It's more like the time and headache from planning what to cook. Washing up is a chore and cleaning floor :faint:
      Thanks Janet. DH is worried the kids won't eat the tingkat food. Guess for a start, I'll try to tapao some dishes from the economic rice stall first or just do one dish meals like pasta.

      I cook almost 4 dishes and soup daily for dinner and the constant exposure to oil and water is wreaking havoc on my skin. Yes, there is lots of washing up too and I can't touch detergent! :faint:

        Janet,

        How do you rate Select catering's tingkat dinner so far? I am SAHM and kids dun need my supervision but my hands have bad dermatitis so was considering taking a 4-day tingkat to let my skin heal. Are the portions plenty? Should I take the 4 dishes or 3 dishes 1 soup?

        I love cooking but I detest washing. Maybe someday I will consider ordering tingkat too 🤷

                  We used to go over to mum’s place for dinner…but kids waste time over there. Plus SIL on confinement then. So to save mum the hassle of cooking for so many of us, we decided to stay home and order tingkat.

                  This way, time is not wasted traveling to and fro either. After dinner, kids will get homework done.

                  Today’s herbal chicken wasn’t too bad. Seriously I had doubts too, ordering tingkat ie…but close 2 eyes and eat since time is saved and no need to crack head what to eat everyday.
                  No beef and mutton.

                    if u've EPO or Vit E capsule at home, burst it n apply on the cracks.I can imagine ur pains. When i first started cooking, always got burns ard my wrists.the scars were there for quite some times until i applied olive oil,EPO on top of lotion.Now it slowly faded.

                        back then, i was fed up when kids wasted time eating dinner at mum's place...bcos they wanted to delay going home...then SIL had her confinement plus mum couldn't cope with the new maid's resistance to learn cooking. if we still stayed at mum's place, there would be 7 people to cook for. now, tingkat is delivered at 430pm. i will cook rice and then we have dinner...after that, rest 5 min before bath and coach them in their work at 8pm...in exchange for that proper system, i close 2 eyes where food is concerned.
