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.

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.

Labor Day for 30 employee but very unhappy with the food

The driver came early and he was very friendly and professional. Last time I ordered a buffet for 35 people (we were 30 people), there was not enough rice and dish, so I ordered 40 people this time, but the amount of food this time made me even more unhappy. There is no difference between 35 and 40 people. Here are the reasons for my displeasure:-
1. Nasi Briyani > They didn't inform me that they switched to other types of rice.
2. Mini Samosa > portion size is smaller than what I ordered (35 pax) from other supplier (Delizio Catering Pte Ltd) before (really angry)
3. Fortunately, I added pineapple fried rice. (changed from naan to rice)
4. I ordered extra dishes > Mutton Masala (feedback from workers is not as good as previous supplier)
5. All food portions are not suitable for 40 people.
6. All staff reported that the food from the previous supplier (Delizio Catering Pte Ltd) tasted better.

Disappointing

The delivery was actually an hour late, I don’t mind it being late so long the food are good..Disappointing enough, it was a bad experience..my guests are complaining about the food.. Noodles and Chicken rendang are salty.. Vegetable already turns yellow and soggy, doesn’t look like baby kailan.. stuff sotong youtiao are hard and dry, clearly is an overnight food.. tofu not fresh and turning slightly sour.. Only the dessert and drinks are acceptable..Overall is bad wouldn’t recommend!

Not Trustworthy

Taste of food was alright, although all the soups tasted similar.
But service was terrible. Ordered and paid for brown rice but never received it. Initially customer service still apologize and offered complementary dish (which tasted bad). After first 3 days, customer service didn't even bother to reply or do anything.

Very bad. little quantity, little variety, more expensive

Ordered their Christmas set for dinner. decided to go ahead with them though their package was more expensive and they have much fewer items for their set dinner compared to other foodline caterer. it was maybe 70% number of item compared to other sets that I saw. I thought logically they should give more quantity per item and perhaps higher quality since they offering so little dishes. When food arrived, the quantity given was pathetic. I had to rush to order extra food elsewhere, and the taste of the food was just normal.

I did a comparison as my relative ordered another Christmas set from another caterer. Their quantity was so much more per item, and have like 30% more dishes.
