Yeh Lai Siang Catering Service

Catered them for Son's 1st Birthday and so did not order the Kou Rou Pau & Curry Chicken that many raved about (Funeral dishes). Food arrived at 4:30pm without giving me an advanced call instead of scheduled 5pm and came with a notice that food needs to be consumed by 730pm when I had scheduled cake cutting @ 8pm. Collection at 10pm.


Food Review as follows:

Fried Noodle 炒桂花面 (Oily and turned soggy within 2 hours +)
Fried Chicken Chop in Thai Style 泰式鸡扒 ( Not bad once dipped in Thai Chilli Sauce)
Black Pepper Prawns 黑椒鲜虾 (Frozen prawns used and not properly defrosted; complaints of not fresh)
Sambal Sliced Fish 参巴鱼片 (Sweet Sour Fish fried in Sambal Chilli; Some pieces were very good; while others tasted not fresh & need more defrosting. Good Sambal Chilli though)
Deep Fried Sotong 脆酥苏东卷 (Calamari; was very hard)
Sweet & Sour Pork 咕噜猪肉(Preferred the sambal fish; the batter coating was on large pieces of pork like sweet sour fish size unlike smaller bite size I'm used to, Taste wise was not bad)
Sotong Dough Stick w/Salad Cream 苏东油条 (95% You Tiao, 5% sotong paste; quite hard & not Q)
Celery w/Vegetarian Kidney 西芹素腰 (Was nice)
Yam Paste w/Coconut Milk 芋泥椰浆 (Did not look appetising; but was highlight of the meal. Thumbs up given by Teochew guests & reason why I might recommend them)
Orange Cordial (Enough to drink)

Second time using this caterer. Telephone confirmation and making changes were a breeze as long as you told them early.

Staff arrived early to set up and were friendly. Food was good value for money. Fried rice was fragrant and went well with the curry chicken. Chicken wings were nice. The kou rou bao was excellent as usual.

Spring rolls, sliced fish and sea coconut were ok but not fantastic.

Salad prawn is just fried prawn. A little misleading.
The curry for the curry chicken is fragrant and not too spicy. Good for families with children. However, the meat of the chicken is a little too tough.
Bun w stewed meat, bun is not fresh. Kind of powdery. Meat is tough as well.
The portion is generous.

Nice food

Food taste are generally good. Proportion of food provided are exact to the number of people catered for. e.g. bun with stewed meat. Guest who wish to take more than 1 piece would lead to insufficient food.

The food was yummy. all the guest praise about how delicious and service was good.

They came early to set up so food need to consume within a shorter period of time. Otherwise, will turn bad.

Food is pretty ok considering its price

Delivery time was one hour earlier than the agreed time of 12 noon on 30 Apr 2013. Part of the food thus turned "soggy" when the lunch started at 12.30 pm. It was fortunate that our lunch venue was available for setting up of the tables etc before 12 noon.
