Jason Pay's review

I recently ordered the Asian Signature Mini Buffet for 10 from Island Catering Services Pte Ltd. The food arrived on time, which I appreciated. However, the delivery experience was less than ideal. The delivery person dripped sauce from the gate and ... More main door all the way to the dining area, likely due to improperly closed lids. Our dessert was only 3/4 full, and the plastic bag was dripping, so we had to spend some time cleaning up before our celebration.

As for the food, it was a mixed experience. The cereal prawn and fried wanton were delicious. Unfortunately, the broccoli was brown and tasted off, and the mushrooms were a bit sour. The salted egg chicken did not taste like salted egg but rather like curry chicken. On the bright side, the portions were very generous.

Overall, the food was okay. I would consider ordering from Island Catering again but would likely skip the salted egg chicken and broccoli next time.

We ordered a buffet for 30 people from Xin Yi Pin, but the portions seemed a bit small compared to past caterers we’ve used, according to our family and relatives. Many of our guests found the cereal fish too hard to chew. On the positive side, ... More the fried rice, curry chicken, and pork rib were good. Overall, I would give it a 3/5, as the portions could have been larger. Relatives also mentioned that the prawn paste chicken looked like there was only enough for one piece per person.

For comparison, we had another caterer for a birthday attended by the same group of people today, and there was still a lot of food left after the celebration. So relatives started comparing it to yesterday, as it was only one day apart. In contrast, at our housewarming with Xin Yi Pin, 90% of the food was gone halfway through, and only about 2/3 of the guests had started eating. In the end, we had to order more pizzas to cater to the 1/3 of guests who hadn’t turned up yet.

Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to take a photo of the food as the setup arrived around 5pm+ when some guests were already here, and I was busy attending to them while some helped themselves to the food.

As I was expecting the food to be ready by 5pm, I started to panic a little when I didn’t see it at 4.45-5pm. I tried calling the hotline multiple times, but no one picked up. It would be helpful if they could give us a confirmation on the actual day to reassure us or provide an alternative number to call.

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a foodline gift card, and it turned out to be an excellent experience. The gift card is incredibly user-friendly. The foodline gift card makes an ideal gift for any occasion. It’s practical, thoughtful, ... More and allows the recipient to choose exactly what they want or need.
