  Singapore catering industry has seen significant changes over the decades as along with demographics changes, consumers’ preference to higher disposable incomes per household. From where it used to be  buffet catering  for events such as business seminars and luncheons, ‘house-warming’, ‘baby showers’ to current demands for a bespoke wedding reception, ‘ Tingkat ’, schools, senior living facilities and hospitals, and even to just a simple house gathering amongst close friends & relatives are some of the current occasions where organisations and individuals will give thoughts to engaging a caterer. This is especially true with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic where social distancing measures and travel restrictions are in place. Outside dining at restaurants has taken a heavy toll due to the restrictions and safety measures in place since the start of the pandemic.

  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. Customer Reviews Finding a caterer that provides...

  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?

  Having to host and prepare food for a party is never easy. There are a lot of factors to take into consideration like dietary preferences, logistics, costs, time and even space. If you are looking to host a simple dinner for a group of 15, what can you possibly do? While there are a lot of special and unique solutions, we are going to shed some light on this topic. For a dinner setting with friends and families, you can always have a potluck dinner. A potluck dinner is where everyone brings in a dish or food from their own and contribute it to the dinner table. This is especially easy to do because the preparation time can be as short as an hour. Of course, you have to make sure that whatever you bring is enough for everyone present. Moreover, if you are personally cooking it, this is also time to show off your skills. Bonding over a potluck dinner can be very smooth as well, as there will be minimal movement from the kitchen to the table as the foods are all already there. As th...

Christmas is just round the corner. Most of the people are starting to make plans for the Christmas celebrations despite this covid19 situation. However, we still need to abide by the law on having small group gathering only. So how do we plan for this? Who are the attendees of this party? That’s probably the 1st question that came to our mind. After all, we are only limited to 5 pax in a group now.  Next question will be, where is the celebration going to be held? Many people are planning for a hotel staycation since we are not able to travel, so probably staying in the hotel for 1 or 2 nights might give u the feel of travelling to nearby countries. Alternatively, will be to dine out, and probably hang around somewhere after dinner. Lastly, which is a more popular choice is to gather at a friend or relative house for a closed-door party so that including the hosts themselves, we can cater for another 5 more pax of guests. After deciding a venue, food will come in place as mos...
