Good caterer

First time trying this caterer. Order was easy. The delivery and set up/display service was excellent. Even the cutleries were displayed nicely. Chris really did a great job. Food looks appetizing too. Overall experience for both food and service was good. Will order this again if there is opportunity.

Thanks, Foodline and Makan Mate, for a hassle free CNY dnr.

Order process was smooth. However the execution of the order needs improvement. No valid telephone number to contact the caterer was provided by Foodline, and the caterer did not reconfirm / contact me right up to the eve of the function. As my function was on CNY day, Foodline was not contactable. After obtaining the caterer's contact number by searching online, I could only leave a voice message to request delivery time details. Luckily, on the morning of the function, a lady responded to my message, and confirmed my order.
Other than that, the rest of the event went well. The delivery guy was very pleasant and arrived early to setup despite the bad weather. He was very efficient and fast without appearing to be rushing.
Food portions were just right. Overall pretty good except for the fishy-smelling fish and dry gyoza. Prawns were very big.

Thank you very much for your detailed feedback, and please accept our sincere apologies for the delay in communication and the inconvenience caused prior to your event. We truly appreciate you highlighting this, and we will certainly improve our confirmation and contact process to ensure smoother coordination for future orders, especially during festive periods.

Regarding the fish, we use natural, untreated seabass fillet, which has a naturally richer seafood aroma compared to the commonly used dory fillet in the market that tends to have much milder scent. It may simply be a difference in preference or familiarity, but we appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration.

We are glad to hear that the delivery setup went smoothly and that the overall event went well. Thank you once again for your honest feedback and support. We look forward to serving you better in your next order.

Food not attractive

Tofu turned sour. Food a bit boring, not very attractive.

Makan Mate responded27th Feb 2026 12:54 PM

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you were satisfied with our service and found good value in the menu.

Regarding the Basil Beancurd, we’re sorry it tasted sour to you. The same dish was served to several other orders with positive feedback, but we will still review this with our kitchen team to ensure consistency and quality.

As this was a vegan set menu, we will also work on improving the presentation and flavours to make it more attractive and appetising.

Thank you again for your choosing Makan Mate. We truly appreciate it.

Value for $$$

The portion is generous for 8 pax.

Seafood in the seafood fried rice is fresh such as the prawns and was well liked by my daughter. Just that the fried rice is abit spicy and the young kids can't take it. Will be prefect if the seafood fried rice is not spicy.

Sauteed Sweet & Sour Prawn dish - the biggest prawn size I have ever seen in buffet so far.

Lastly, price value for a CNY eve dinner is very affordable.

Well recommended.

Thank you so much for your wonderful 5/5 review and thoughtful feedback

We’re glad the portion was generous for 8 pax and that your family enjoyed the dishes, especially the Seafood Fried Rice and Sweet & Sour Prawns. So happy your daughter loved the fresh prawns!

Thank you as well for noting the spice level, we truly appreciate it and can customise to non-spicy upon request, especially for young kids.

Thank you again for your recommendation and support. We look forward to serving you and your family again soon!

Surprisingly Good!

This is the first time we catered a vegetarian option as we had guest that could not take meat and dairy. It was also one of the more affordable options on FL given this festive season. Was also surprised that it came with some heating box too!

We look forward to exploring more of our menus with you for your next event

Good Caterer Good Food

Besides the mee siam, other food items like yam ring, prawns and roasted chicken tasted nice as well. But the bubor cha cha was over cooked and looked like « ornée »! Special commendation to the staff who prepared the food layout and serving utensils- it was very organised and made it easy for the guests to get their correct utensils for each dish. Just a feedback - the food labels need to be bigger as the wordings are too small and very hard to read.
Makan Mate responded31st Dec 2025 10:31 AM

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed most of the dishes and appreciated the food setup and service.

We apologise for the bubur cha cha not meeting expectations and have noted your comments for improvement. Your feedback on the food label size is also well taken, and we will work on enhancing readability.

Thank you once again for sharing your experience. We look forward to serving you again!

The food was good and caterer provided the Disposable warmer too. The portion is sufficient and the chicken was good.

Need improvements

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 pineapple. The fish ball is chewy and salty.
Overall does not worth as being the premium menu, quite disappointing.
Sambal Sotong with Petai & Pineapple Choose one
Makan Mate responded2nd Dec 2025 11:13 AM

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 serviettes. 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.
