How much food should I order?

We suggest placing your order based on the number of guests you have invited, and it's recommended to add approximately 10% extra as a buffer in case of higher consumption. It's important to consider that some guests may consume more than the originally estimated food portions. 

Disclaimer: Please note that the provided recommendation is a general guideline, and individual consumption may vary. Factors such as personal preferences, dietary restrictions, and appetite can influence the amount of food needed. Additionally, our add-on policy allows for an increase in the number of guests in increments of 5 to ensure sufficient catering.

What is the difference between buffet and mini buffet?

Our Buffet Catering menus are designed for larger gatherings and events. The food is served hot in food warmers and presented on fully dressed and skirted tables. We provide a complete set-up that includes basic centrepieces or decorations, as well as a full set of biodegradable disposable cutlery, napkins, and cups. The minimum order quantity (MOQ) for our Buffet Catering starts from 30 pax.

 

On the other hand, our mini buffet option is ideal for smaller gatherings or more intimate events. The food is conveniently packed in lightweight, microwavable containers to ensure easy handling and reheating. To maintain the optimal temperature of the food, we pack the containers in thermal bags. The MOQ for our mini buffet starts from 10 pax, allowing you to enjoy our catering services even for smaller groups.
