Newbaby Confinement Food trial

I had booked a lunch trial with Newbaby some 1 month ago at the Parenthood Fair. The trial was going at $15 instead of the usual $35 or something, but the catch is that I have to arrange the trial within 1 month of the Parenthood Fair dates. For someone who is just going to past the first trimester (not to mention still having strong bouts of morning sickness throughout the day), the trial seems to have happened too early, haha.

At the stroke of 12, I heard knocking at the front door. Hubby answered the door and there was the delivery person. The food was neatly packed in microwaveable containers in what I thought was a pretty good quality plastic bag. Menu of the day/lunch:
1. Fish and papaya soup
2. Steam fish with dried lily buds
3. Silver anchovy with Vegetables (kai lan)
The meal also came with a generous serving of longan red date tea and a full pack of rice. Serving size was about 1.5 pax, too much for me alone but not enough for both hubby and me. At least it will definitely keep me full during the confinement period if I do go with them. 

Hubby didn't like item 1 much, but I think they did pretty well on the other dishes. The fish didn't have any fishy smell/taste and the vegetables went down quite well with me. The red date tea was a bit bland, but passable. 

Their 28 days dual meal package will set me back by $1600. If I order 1 month before my edd, I will enjoy an early bird discount of $120. Hmmmm, I need to explore other options before making a final decision.

  1. Hi I also get myself the package 28 days at $1430. If you want further discount, i have a extra $50 discount voucher for the new baby confinement on top of the early bird discount, willing to let go at $5. So u can have total of $165 discount. My package will be starting end of this month as my due date is on 31 Jan 2014. Email me @ singyen21@hotmail.com if u are interested.

    1. Hi Xiao Yan, I have the $50 discount voucher as well, but I think I'm likely to use back Natal Essentials. Thanks for offering!
