Jiak Ba's Tingkat Meal Experience

🍱What's in the Tingkat Menu?

Here's what we had for our Jiak Ba Tingkat meal:

Sweet and Sour Pork

The pork pieces were nicely coated and crisp even after delivery. The sauce was a great balance of sweet and tangy—not too overpowering, and kids might love it too.

Pork with Egg Tofu

This was our favorite dish of the day! Silky tofu with a savoury pork mince sauce that was comforting and hearty. It paired perfectly with rice and gave us that “home-cooked” vibe.

Seasonal Vegetables

The greens were lightly stir-fried and retained their crunch. A good contrast to the meat dishes and a nice way to round off the meal with some fibre.

Old Cucumber with Pork Ribs Soup

The soup was flavourful and nourishing. The old cucumber and pork ribs had been simmered long enough to extract a rich, deep taste—a soothing end to the meal.

💭 Our Verdict: Jiak Ba’s Tingkat meals hit the sweet spot between flavour and nutrition. It’s suitable for busy families or individuals who want reliable, homestyle meals without cooking.

Jiak Ba's Confinement Meal Review

🍽️ What's in the Confinement Menu?

Braised Cod Fish with Spinach & Wolfberries

The cod was tender and flaky, braised with a light broth that complemented the natural sweetness of the wolfberries. A gentle and nutritious start.

Stir-Fried Asparagus with Trio-Coloured Capsicums

Colourful and crisp, this dish was full of antioxidants and vitamins. The asparagus was cooked just right—not soggy—and the peppers added a natural sweetness.

Shi Quan Da Bu Tang (10-Herb Rejuvenation Soup)

A cornerstone of any confinement meal. This herbal tonic was rich, slightly bitter in a comforting way, and packed with traditional Chinese herbs to restore energy and promote circulation.

Brown Rice

Healthy and fibrous, the brown rice served as a hearty base that complemented the herbal and savoury notes of the meal.

Black Sesame Tangyuan

Served warm in a rich black sesame syrup, the tangyuan were smooth, chewy, and pleasantly soft. The nutty aroma of the syrup gave a comforting finish to the meal, making it a satisfying and grounding dessert without being overly sweet.

💭 Our Verdict: Jiak Ba’s Confinement meals feel thoughtfully crafted. The ingredients are tailored to postnatal care, with a balance of nourishment, tradition, and taste. It’s a great support system for new mums who want hassle-free recovery meals.
