How to choose a caterer?

Image
  Finding the perfect caterer for your event is never an easy job. Different caterers specialize in different types of events. Ask the caterers if they have experience in serving at your kind of events. Verify by checking out their profiles, websites and social media handles. When it comes to selecting the perfect caterer, few things that are important to consider; Customer Service No matter which caterer you choose, their customer support has to be strong to handle your enquiries and requirements. She has to be easily contactable and respond to your calls or emails promptly. You wouldn’t want to engage a caterer that replies to you a week later to your enquiries. Is your caterer flexible enough to accommodate your simple request such as the level of spiciness of the foods? If the caterer is not willing to accommodate, then you have to seriously consider another caterer as you do not want to be tied down to the caterer inflexibility.

Buffet or Buffet Catering?

Image
  You may have heard that while buffets are really popular among Asians, Asians are also one of the top contributors to food waste. The whole idea of buffet has been tainted by this poor reception that when everyone thinks about buffet, it’s always going to be about the “all-you-can-eat” buffet. However, buffet is not about that. What people have been misunderstanding for years is that buffet is about self-serving meals that you and I can collect at any pace, without the need for servers or waiters. In fact, we are going to talk about buffet catering services. The horrors and amount of food wastage can be seen at restaurants but what about a catered buffet? Do we also waste the same amount of food? Fortunately, we don’t! Those who have tried ordering  buffet catering  will know that it is required to send in the number of pax, you will be serving for that buffet lunch or dinner. Because based on the number of pax you send in, the catering service will determine how much f...

Plan your party using buffet catering

Image
  When it comes to a party, no one like a fixed routine or a schedule. “Be here at 7 for dinner!” That would be a total turn-off, isn’t it? But instead, “Food will be served 7 onwards”, gives you more room and leeway to turn up slightly later than 7 and still expect the food to be served. To do that,  buffet catering   would be the perfect solution to such a scenario. What so great is that buffet catering gives us the freedom of when to eat and what to eat. As long as the food is available, you don’t have to worry about it going anywhere. If your party is a casual one, buffet caterings can help lighten the mood. Not every party has to be formal and not every meal has to be formal as well. Having everyone seated at the same time, and getting the same food served is now becoming a chore. A party is where people retreat to get some time off and to relax. Buffet caterings can offer such respite to guests and hosts alike. Getting restless at the table entertaining people? Head...

Are services important in the catering industry?

Image
  If you have been reading online, you would have seen some horrifying experience by your friends or family members about buffet catering and the sort of experience they have been getting with different caterers. Like any other service, bad service and experiences are bound to have. However, food is more than just service. It also concerns our safety as food safety is indeed a serious topic. Food poisoning can be lethal in some cases and hygiene is highly emphasised in Singapore. Here are some of the usual negative experience you might have seen or witness when it comes to buffet catering – Inadequate food While this is not really a serious problem, things could still go messy. They often say a hungry man is an angry man. While you may have indicated the number of pax when ordering, the amount of food still comes short. The gross miscalculation of buffet caterers may seem like a small matter but when it comes to hosting a party for your guests, the shortage of food can be very emba...

To cater for a buffet or a buffet dining?

Image
  When was the last time you went for a buffet? Did you make your money’s worth? After all, the buffet is where you can eat your money’s worth. But that is if you have the appropriate appetite for the buffet you are going to. Most of the time, many people don’t eat their money’s worth. The question here is, why not cater your own buffet instead of going to expensive buffets where you can almost never eat your money’s worth? Price-to-food ratio Yes, yes, yes… Buffet dining has unlimited food. So what? How much can you eat? Besides, it isn’t cheap at all. Most of the time, the cost comes from the bulk of that one or two ingredients used. And you are not there to eat only a dish or food. With buffet catering, you can get the right amounts of food at the right price. You don’t have to worry you are going to overspend or eat less than expected. Best of both worlds isn’t it?  Cheap buffet caterings  are plenty in Singapore anyway! Location Travelling all the way to town just to...

What is the difference between a banquet and catering?

Image
  Do you know that people are still confused between banquet and catering despite being two very different things? In Singapore, we have very distinct definitions for “Buffet” and “Banquet”. The most distinct difference between them is the definition of it. A banquet is a formal meal served to a large group of people which usually involves more than 5 courses of dishes that includes main courses, desserts and soup. They are usually served in major events such as a wedding, a ceremony or any other events that can involve guests. On the other hand, a buffet, catered or not, refers to a casual meal served to either a small or medium-sized group of people in either public or private setting where meals are meant to be self-serviced. The food selection may not be as grand as banquets but it is definitely self-sufficient. Here are some points of difference between a banquet and a buffet. Location The location of the banquet has to be somewhere grand. This can range from a private ballroo...
