13 Food Subscription Services That All Singaporeans Deserve

Forget Boxing Day; Every day can be unboxing day now.

As e-commerce starts to boom and us millennials get lazier to leave our homes, delivery services are quickly becoming an upcoming trend. Subscription services are enhanced versions of delivery services, in so far as they eliminate the need for continuous placing of orders by sending items to you based on your selected duration and frequency.

I don’t know about you, but I think receiving parcels in the mail and enjoying a good meal are some of the best feelings in the world. Throw the two together and there you have it: food subscription boxes. Need a bite? How about some artisan coffee or alcohol delivered to your doorstep? Subscription boxes are the answer.

I’ve tried my best to compile a comprehensive list of subscription boxes in Singapore that deliver consumable products, in no particular order. So, whether you’re a recluse who fears the great outdoors, or a workaholic who is simply too busy for the frivolity of shopping, I’m sure these subscription boxes have something to offer.
