Caterer did not provide serviettes and only a pack of tissue paper, does not look very professional. One of the dish is Sambal Sotong with Petai & Pineapple. The sotong is mushy and no petai found in the dish, only small bits of cucumber and ... Morepineapple. The fish ball is chewy and salty.
Overall does not worth as being the premium menu, quite disappointing. Show less

Thank you for your detailed feedback, we sincerely apologise that your experience did not meet expectations.
Regarding the serviettes, as part of our hygiene and sustainability policy, we provide sealed packs of tissue paper instead of loose ... Moreserviettes. For a 25-pax order, one 50-sheet pack is our standard, but we will review this practice.
We are particularly concerned about the Sambal Sotong. The sotong should be tender, not mushy and petai is a key ingredient that should have been present. We have escalated this to our kitchen and operations team for immediate review to prevent such oversights. We appreciate you bringing the fish ball seasoning and texture to our attention as well.
Your comments are invaluable for our improvement. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further with you directly.
Thank you for allowing us the chance to improve. Show less
The food was delicious and we love that we can have rice and noodles as mains for our guests. We were also pleased that we were able to select dishes according to our guests' dietary preferences (vegetarian, non-vegetarian, halal)
The set up was ... Moregreat and having a vendor who tends to our catering needs (cutleries, plates and cups, tables and chairs) puts one less stress on us in organising the event. Highly recommend! Show less

We ordered 10 dishes mini catering and they informed us 1 of the dishes is out of stock 1 day before, which is "Braised Sea Cucumber With Duck". That is very disappointing because we wanted to have more meat option, duck, which all of guests don't ... Moremind eating. Initially they offered rendang chicken as substitute, but i rejected and requested for other duck dish. they insisted they don't have it too. then i firmly requested substitute has to be either duck, beef or mutton, which are available on the menu when order was placed. Luckily they substituted with rendang mutton in the end. Also, steamed prawn gyoza was on the menu, but they sent us fried one. i didn't realise the mismatch until event started. So overall experience just ok only. Show less

Dear Ai Ling, Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're so glad everyone found the meal satisfying, especially the tender meat and fresh papadum. We hope to serve you again soon!
This caterer is on time. I hv ordered from this caterer a few times before. The food is reasonably good. I like their braised seafood beancurd with my mushroom. The beancurd was fresh. No smell. Tasty.

The food was delivered on time and the portion was large so my guests were all pretty full. Received compliments on the Signature Curry Chicken and Sauteed Nyonya Chap Chye!
