Stamford Catering

Food was okay but can improve more on taste and presentation. Delivery was 15 minutes late due to wrong contact details. Delivery guy was polite.

Ordered buffet for my son birthday party and the food was nothing but amazing. Everyone gave good compliment about the food, will def order again. The curry was da bomb

Delivery was fast and efficient. The buffet setup was beautifully done with a bouquet of flowers nicely setup among the hot food. The food was good especially the choc éclairs and cereal prawn not bad also.

Everyone loved the food! Just hoped that there was takeaway boxes but overall good food and service! Will order again!

Food was delicious and yummy. Delivery came about 15mins earlier and was kept hot in their thermal bag. Accessories were also sufficient.

Context: This is our first time catering food, apart from our wedding. We are avid cooks, and would usually cook for our gatherings, but had to cater this time cos we had Muslim friends over for a gathering.

The food came in two large insulation bags and the utensils came in another bag. It was professionally presented and we were pleasantly surprised that they even included serving ware (tongs and spatulas). Their delivery guy was courteous. He was probably in a rush, given that it was closer to dinner time, but still he was all smiles and efficient. Though the delivery came half an hour earlier than the appointed time, the food didn't go cold because of the insulation bags. That was a very thoughtful gesture which I thought reflected on the professionalism of Stamford Catering. Our guests were similarly impressed.

The portion size was decent, but if we had full attendance (we were short of 2 people) or guests with bigger appetites, I think the food would've been not enough.

Our guests loved the food, with the exception of the salted egg fish fillet and the almond bean curd with logan. The fish fillet was like 3/4 breading and 1/4 fish. The salted egg coating was generous, but probably to mask the tiny pieces of fish fillet. The almond bean curd was like 4/5 water with 1/5 bean curd + logan. Even when we dumped in TWO cans (of our own) of canned fruits, each scoop was still largely water with a few bits of fruit. That was a big disappointment (and anti-climactic), but thankfully our guests didn't have much of a sweet tooth.

If I were asked to rank the food (in order of tastiness), that would be:
1. Mee goreng (fragrant, spicy and tangy at the same time)
2. Korean mid wings
3. Roasted chicken chop
4. Foo yong egg
6. Cauliflower & brocolli (nothing to shout about)
7. Spring roll (nothing to shout about)

The remaining 2 dishes were bleh.

The key things is, the food was good enough for our guests to like it, and not that bad that it would dominate the topic of conversation. We could enjoy our friend's company and the conversation.

Food was delicious but packaging for the sauce was bad. Everything was plastic wrapped except for the black sauce, so the sauce spilled and made a mess.

Was searching for a catering service for a small group for mini gathering and Stamford catering provided just that! (min qty: 10 pax)

Was impressed by:
1. Food selection - our guests particularly liked the fried egg noodles, curry vegetables, wanton, oat cereal prawn
2. Value-for-money for a smaller party crowd

But also faced the 3 points which could be improved:

1. Service - For desserts, I originally chose carrot cake. One day before the delivery, I was informed by the staff that it was not available and we agreed on chcocolate eclair instead. On the day of delivery, we received cheesecake. Was it a mix up? If it wasn't, I'm very confused what the purpose of the call was.

2. Service - Unfortunately, due to some human error there was a disruption to the flow of the party. This was because we received one dish less from the delivery man. The original delivery timing was alright (+10min) from our selected timing. However, due to this error, the remaining dish only arrived at 7.30pm after all the other dishes had been wiped out.

The damage control was swift. However, it did disrupt the flow of the party. Hence, I am rating service a 3/5 to be fair.

3. Food - Mapo Tofu was too peppery/"numbing" for the crowd. It was the only dish which could not be finished.

Setup was punctual. All the dishes were amazing and tasted great. This is my 2nd order and there will definitely be more to come.

Generous portions with good quality in setup and preparation. Sushi platter was well-liked, fresh and delicious.
