Mrs OOPS 28 Days With Tian Wei Signature Confinement Food!


Healthy and nutritious food is one of the first and utmost important things I look out for during confinement, especially for breastfeeding mummies like myself, because whatever I eat will transform to milk for my little one. Although my mother in law is helping me with confinement, I figured that it is actually tedious for her to cook "confinement meals" just for me, cook 'normal meals' for the rest of the family and still care for me and my baby's needs. So when Tian Wei Signature Confinement Food Services came along, I thought this was the best option ever! We can all focus on the adjustments of caring for a newborn, without worrying about my meals. It's an additional bonus if the meals are delicious right?

Before I even continue, let me just say one thing... CONFINEMENT MONTH IS FINALLY OVER!!!!!!!!!! *throws confetti*

Tian Wei Signature Trial Meal 

I tried this trial meal one month prior before my delivery. Once I tasted that, I am already feeling assured.  Be warned that the trial meal set is a super huge portion because you get to taste a bit of their everything, including my personal favorite soup - the green papaya milk soup! Food is not salty yet very flavourful and the fish dishes are NOT frozen fish fillets.


Tian Wei Signature 28 Days Confinement Meals

On the day of my discharge after giving birth to Baby OOPS, I started my 28 days of yummy foodie adventure with Tian Wei Signatures.



Well, if I were to go to their website and key in my EDD, I would know what my everyday menu is going to be like. However, I opted not to look at it because I preferred having a surprise lunch and dinner food package everyday. It's like one of few happy moments apart from the tedious routine of breastfeeding-nap-eat routine.

I'm not disappointed at all. The confinement food series started off with the Traditional Confinement Cuisine - pig trotters vinegar, ginger chicken, pig liver, pig kidney, chicken cooked with red glutinous rice wine etc. These are accompanied by a portion of carbo, be it rice, noodles or beehoon and a large bowl of delicious soup/dessert!









Some surprises include fried rice instead of boring white rice. 

Just when I thought I'm having a boring routine of Chinese cuisine, I started receiving their Fusion Confinement meals! These meals steer away from Chinese way of cooking yet retaining the health benefits of confinement meals. I'm amazed. Here's just some of my personal favourites. 

Western Fusion - A huge slice of red snapper fish served with lemon beurre blanc, baked pumpkin and buttered corn cob. Rice with raisins and grains. Pork rib soup!

A Japanese Signature meal - Sesame grilled chicken, with spinach and ginger miso soup
Another Japanese Signature - The Kurobuta Pork Loin with Apple Mirin Sauce and Spaghetti

The Mediterranean Signature - Seared Salmon With Cauliflower Cream and Tri Colour Grains

Reasons To Order From Tian Wei Signature

-Zero usage of processed food
No such things as ham, fish cakes, sausages or bacon. ONLY generous portions of fresh food such as black fungus, pork ribs, red snapper fish, threadfin fish, beetroot and thigh/drumstick meat for the chicken dishes. Me like.

The fish is in big portion!

-Food is not salty and MSG free.
One of my biggest worry when ordering food delivery or those tingkat is the high level of salt / MSG that can lead to bad water retention in the postpartum period. But with Tianwei meals, I had no issues of feeling thirsty after eating.

-Portions are decently big.
I think the last thing you need to worry about is getting hungry. The portions they give is definitely ample. With 1 litre of longan red date tea per meal, I can assure you that you don't need to cook more red date tea on your own.

-Meals are carefully chosen and sent timely to help mummies with their postpartum recovery.
During week 1, I remember receiving an additional bowl of soup - "Sheng Hua Tang" for 2 of my dinners.  The soup comes with instructions to drink 2 hours before breastfeeding or only after breastfeeding.  This concoction is important as it aids the discharge of those leftover blood discharge after delivery and improves blood flow etc.



-Huge varieties of delicious herbal and non-herbal soups
I'm a big fan of soups. So being able to have double boiled soup for almost every single meal is a total heaven to me. Every soup is power packed with ingredients that can boost my energy levels.

Alot of ingredients are used to cook the double boiled soup and you can see all of them inside your bowl.

-Meals are super suitable for breastfeeding-friendly mummies.
Breastfeed mummies always aim to increase milk supply for our little one and that's also something that Tian Wei Signature looks into! The most memorable breast milk boosting food I remember eating are the fenugreek green papaya and fish milk soup and white fungus papaya dessert. There are also many salmon dishes cooked in different forms. The salmon slices are always cooked to such perfection as it's still soft and tender on the inside. Every time I see salmon, I scream Hooray inside! HAHA!!

Super yums passion fruit salmon

Fenugreek Green Papaya and Fish Milk Soup

White Fungus and papaya dessert

-Great customer service
The staff that delivers the food always sounded so friendly and chirpy. I am also impressed by the efficiency of their customer service on 3 occasions. Once, the staff called us one day before the start of the meal delivery services to clarify on my dietary requirements and food restrictions. Second, I called in one of the Saturday evenings to request for a postponement of meals for one of the days. My phone was picked up within a few rings and my request was attended to immediately. Third, I received a follow up call from the customer service officer during week 3 asking for feedback on their services and food.

Price of the 28 Days Double Package

The 28 days double package costs $1688 and comes with an early bird discount of $128 if you book it 1 month before your EDD. After calculations (before discount), each meal will costs about $30 per meal. I would say that the price is decent because no washing and cooking is required at home. Most importantly, it is delivered fresh and piping hot to your doorstep punctually during meal times while meeting hygiene standards. Washing baby stuff is enough to kill. Given the kind of quality food they serve, I would say it's definitely worth every single cent.

P.S. my only food for thought to Tian Wei would be if there are any alternative ways, other than plastic containers, to pack the food such that we can help reduce the use of plastic.

GOOD NEWS for my readers:
You can now order this exact same 28 days double package at a discount of $148 when you use the promo code JessieLTW148 during checkout.

Afterthoughts

After having my first child, I realize why it is important to have that additional help around after you give birth. You need to change diapers at least 8 times a day, learning breastfeeding together with baby, feeding the newborn every 2-3 hours and not forgetting mommy's own recuperation from delivery. A confinement nanny seemed to solve the entire issue and that is if you encounter one that suits your caregiving style and understand how breastfeeding works.

For me, I have support from my mother in law when it comes to the care giving of my little one. Having all of my confinement meals catered under experienced and thoughtful caterer like Tian Wei Signature takes a big load of worries off our minds during this stressful postpartum period. If I were to have another child, I will definitely engage this service again! I had also highly recommended my preggy peers and friends to consider this option.

That's pretty much my first hand experience with Tian Wei Signature. If you want more informative knowledge on their food selections and how the company ensured that all meals are catered for confinement, do check out their website at https://www.tianweisignature.com/ ! During certain baby seminars or pregnancy talks, you may also chance upon their booth. Do check out my everyday meals at our facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/pg/mrandmrsoops/ if you want to see all the meals I have eaten!

One last piece of advice on why we want to splurge on confinement food...
Because a healthy mommy = a healthy baby!


Cheers,
Mrs OOPS
