Fresher Singapore review: From $10.95/meal

As the name suggests, Fresher Singapore serves up fresh original meals to your doorstep.
The cool thing about their meals is that they are blast frozen to ensure that the food retains its nutrition and quality.
Food that is blast frozen creates smaller ice crystals. This is better as larger ice crystals damage materials by causing phenomena like cell bursting, which affects the quality and flavour of foods.
The most affordable meal you can find on their menu is the Clean Chicken Breast in Green Nut Butter at $10.95.
Their menu also consists of food with an international flavour with the option to pick set meals, protein by the pound and even keto diet-friendly meals.
Storage Instruction:
To keep Fresher Singapore meals for more than 5 days, please freeze the meals upon delivery and consume them within 1 month.
Delivery Fees:
- $15 for orders less than $130
- Free delivery for orders $130 and above
- Free self-collection (17 Sims Way S388829)
*Do note that you have to make an order of at least $50 before you can checkout online
AMGD Healthy Poke Bowls review: From $6

AMGD recently launched healthy poke bowls that cost $6 per bowl. You can save even more if you buy bundles.
For example, if you were to order 8 bowls, the price comes down to $5.30 per bowl
The good thing about the Poke Bowls is that you do not need to purchase a meal pass.
You can buy each poke individually and self collect them at pickup points located at:
- JTC One-North
- 65 Guilermard Road
- Our Tampines Hub
- Bread Talk at Citylink Mall
You can also collect the Poke Bowls at other BreadTalk outlets for about 20 pickup points in total.
Otherwise, there are also some Poke Bowls are available for delivery.
Storage Instructions:
As the food is made fresh every day, AMGD recommends that you consume it within 2-3 hours of delivery.
Delivery Fees:
- Free for self-collection
- Inclusive but you pay $3 more if you order two bowls and $2 more if you order three bowls.

Grain has styled themselves as a food experience company.
On top of their catering, they have launched a Meals on-demand service delivering Grain Bentos.
They deliver delicious healthy meals to you, with new dishes added every week.
The most affordable thing on their menu is their Basil Thunder Tea Rice, a healthy Hakka staple that costs $10.95.
Their menu contains a mix of international and local cuisine with salads and even Nasi Lemak Ayam Masak Merah.
On top of that, they have a $16 surcharge for orders below $100 regardless of whether you opt for self-collection or delivery.
Thus it is best you share this with a big group of friends.
Storage Instructions:
However, unlike the options on this list, you cannot keep the food for too long as Grain prepares their meals fresh every day.
They recommend that you consume within 2-3 hours of delivery.
Delivery Fees
- $4 for orders below $100
- Free for orders above $100
- Free self-collection
AMGD review: From $12/meal

AMGD is one of the pioneers of this healthy food delivery scene in Singapore.
We have put them twice on this list as they cater to different budgets.
AMGD is short for AHHMAHGAWD, the feeling they want you to get after eating their food.
AMGD works on a pay-per-use-credit system where you can buy a certain number of meals credits called the AMGD PASS.
You can then use your meal credits whenever you want.
Their menu cannot be customised, although you have over 180 delicious and healthy bento boxes to choose from at any time.
This is better suited for those who are looking for a variety of meals that are healthier and not those who have very specific meal requirements.
AMGD is the most expensive option on this list with a single meal price of $17.
If you want to get your meal at the $12, you will have to purchase the 101 meal package which costs a hefty $1,212.
A big financial commitment for sure.
Storage Instructions:
The bento boxes are made fresh before delivery and have to be consumed within two to three hours.
However, if you wish to keep the meal for next day consumption, please request for cold ingredients to be packed separately when you place your order. The meal is good to be kept 24 hours and re-heat with microwave medium heat around 3 to 4 minutes.
Delivery Fees:
- Free for self-collection
- Free for 2 or more meals (2 meal credits)
- $2.50 for all other orders
- $5 for distant areas like Tuas, Changi and Sentosa
Bonus: SecondMeal – why not buy a meal for someone in need?
We are talking about a meal delivery service of another kind.
For most of us, a humble $3 meal at the hawker centre is something many of us take for granted each day.
This is not the case for the 4.1 per cent of Singaporeans who face food insecurity.
If you would like to give back, you can consider giving to the folks over at Non-Profit Organisation Secondmeal.
They run a tech-driven platform that serves to feed the needy in Singapore with your help.
The platform is where you can donate to send meals to the less fortunate in Singapore.
For example, Happy People Helping People (HPHP) are on the Secondmeal platform.
Through the platform, you can give meals to HPHP’s beneficiaries; the less fortunate elderly in neighbourhoods Ang Mo Kio, Jalan Besar, Toa Payoh and Chinatown.
You will be helping people like this cleaner auntie, and the many working elderlies who struggle to put food on the table.
There you have it a list of healthy meal delivery options in Singapore starting from $6.
