Katong Catering Review - Delectable Mini Buffet for your small gatherings this Christmas!

Increasingly, many of us are opting for Mini Buffets for small gatherings instead of cooking ourselves and we can totally understand why! Mini Buffets provide you with convenience and spare you the headache of thinking what to cook for your guests. Needless to say, it also saves you the hassle of shopping for the ingredients and all the cooking and cleaning up after!

This Christmas, Katong Catering has specially put together tantalizing festive dishes into a Christmas Mini Festive Set for you.

The Christmas Mini Festive Set was delivered to us in a huge recyclable bag (that you can reuse for your groceries!) with all dishes labelled. The dishes included in the Christmas Mini Festive Set are as follows:

• Selection of Christmas Cold Cuts (Chicken Salami & Chicken Ham)
• Oven-Baked Garlic Prawns (Marinated w/ Garlic, Chilli Flakes & Sprinkled w/ Parsley)
• Panko Crusted White Fish (Marinated w/ Herbs and a spread of Dijon Mustard)
• Chicken Yakitori (Teriyaki marinated Chicken Thigh on skewers)
• Butter Rice w/ Bell Peppers & Raisins
• Roasted Potatoes; Carrots & Sausages (Seasoned with Salt & Pepper)
• Medley of Pastries (Matcha Azuki Mousse Cake & Marshmallow Pecan Nut Brownies)

Christmas wouldn't be "complete" without some cold cuts. For your convenience, Katong Catering offers sliced Chicken Salami & Chicken Ham so you do not have to cut a huge ham yourself (more time for you to mingle with your guests! :)). These were pretty standard cold cuts and we enjoyed them alongside our staple, the butter rice, which we'll be talking about later!

These Oven-Baked Garlic Prawns were perfectly cooked to "al dente". They were crisp and succulent to bite into and coupled with the aromatic garlic and chili flakes mix, just "shiok"! A colleague of ours who can't take spicy food well commented that these prawns were easy on her palate and not too spicy too.

The Panko Crusted White Fish was one dish all of us enjoyed the most from the spread. We were initially worried that the fish would taste fishy but our worries were proven to be completely unfounded. The fish were well-seasoned and baked to perfection with the very aptly used panko bread crumbs, which added a nice crunch to every bite.

Rejoice, chicken thighs lovers as chicken thighs were used for these Chicken Yakitori! We found the use of chicken thighs for the skewers to be a great choice. Every piece of the meat was well marinated with teriyaki sauce, tender and juicy, definitely not dried out by the grilling process at all! The ratio of the fatty parts to meat was also just right for us, not too fatty.

Katong Catering was really generous with the rice. We were all so stuffed after attempting to finish (but failed) the Butter Rice w/ Bell Peppers & Raisins. The Butter Rice w/ Bell Peppers & Raisins was the main grain for the mini buffet, which we felt was quite well done. The rice wasn't clumpy and was pretty tasty even on its own.

This was one simple dish done right in every way. The potatoes, carrots & sausages were roasted till tender, seasoned simply with just salt and pepper. Not an overly complicated dish but totally delish!

These cakes were the second star of this mini buffet. The fudge brownies, topped with either walnuts or marshmallows, were rich and delightful. On the other hand, the Matcha Cakes had a layer of light mousse with Azuki beans atop them. These cakes were really yummy and easily polished off by all of us! These cakes gave a really nice and sweet end to our mini buffet.

Overall, we felt that the Christmas Mini Festive Set from Katong Catering really sets you in the mood for Christmas with all its delicious festive dishes. This mini buffet feast would've gotten a full 10/10 rating from us had it contained a gravy dish or a soupy dessert as it can get a bit dry after a while. Notwithstanding that, this mini buffet still scored a 4.5/5 from us!
