Changes, and lifestyle adjustments have been made across the board in response to COVID-19 restrictions. Many expats have opted to cook more at home, as budgets stretch, and safety becomes paramount.
If you’re not exactly a domestic god—or goddess—in the kitchen, or just aren’t a big fan of meal prep, DIY meal kits can be a real lifesaver. We’ve looked around, and cooked up a list of the best meal kits in Singapore. From pasta, to steaks, popular Korean dishes, and even ready-made bake mixes, skip out on looking for substitutes at your grocers, and whip up your favorite dishes in your own kitchen.
