  You may have heard that while buffets are really popular among Asians, Asians are also one of the top contributors to food waste. The whole idea of buffet has been tainted by this poor reception that when everyone thinks about buffet, it’s always going to be about the “all-you-can-eat” buffet. However, buffet is not about that. What people have been misunderstanding for years is that buffet is about self-serving meals that you and I can collect at any pace, without the need for servers or waiters. In fact, we are going to talk about buffet catering services. The horrors and amount of food wastage can be seen at restaurants but what about a catered buffet? Do we also waste the same amount of food? Fortunately, we don’t! Those who have tried ordering  buffet catering  will know that it is required to send in the number of pax, you will be serving for that buffet lunch or dinner. Because based on the number of pax you send in, the catering service will determine how much f...

  Are you looking to eat healthier for the new year, but you’re not sure where to start? Instead of throwing yourself into eating super clean meals off the bat, it helps to start small and expand your diet and your palate. What most people tend to overlook when they start a new diet is whether they’ll enjoy the experience. If we jump into a new diet when we’ve never tried out health foods like quinoa or cauliflower rice, we might get turned off dieting entirely if we try to force ourselves to enjoy the experience. Moreover, when you work on accustoming yourself to different dishes, you can enjoy new culinary delights at every meal. Most of us love sticking to the food that we’re used to because it brings us comfort and we enjoy eating it. However, variety is the spice of life, and constantly eating the same few foods can lead to fatigue and boredom. With all the new food fads in Singapore nowadays, it’s the best time to try out all the different types of food. You might find your n...

  Having to host and prepare food for a party is never easy. There are a lot of factors to take into consideration like dietary preferences, logistics, costs, time and even space. If you are looking to host a simple dinner for a group of 15, what can you possibly do? While there are a lot of special and unique solutions, we are going to shed some light on this topic. For a dinner setting with friends and families, you can always have a potluck dinner. A potluck dinner is where everyone brings in a dish or food from their own and contribute it to the dinner table. This is especially easy to do because the preparation time can be as short as an hour. Of course, you have to make sure that whatever you bring is enough for everyone present. Moreover, if you are personally cooking it, this is also time to show off your skills. Bonding over a potluck dinner can be very smooth as well, as there will be minimal movement from the kitchen to the table as the foods are all already there. As th...

  Healthy living has been the mantra for many in the 21 st  century as there is rising issues like obesity, cancer and many other diet-related health issues. The health promotion board of Singapore has also tried to advocate healthy eating and even have initiatives on displaying an HPB logo on foods that are considered healthy (less sugar, less salt, less oil). They can be seen on products or even food stalls at hawker centres. When it comes to food, people often try to save as much money as possible. And eating healthily all the time isn’t exactly a cheap thing to do. In fact, for most places, eating healthy can be quite costly. With the recent trend of having “bowls”, a concept of having a mixture of healthy ingredients with lean meat as part of their protein intake, these bowls usually cost close to $10 or more per meal. Of course, there are also other ways of eating healthy, such as cooking for your own meals. By cooking your own meals, you get to control the amount of sea...

  When it comes to a party, no one like a fixed routine or a schedule. “Be here at 7 for dinner!” That would be a total turn-off, isn’t it? But instead, “Food will be served 7 onwards”, gives you more room and leeway to turn up slightly later than 7 and still expect the food to be served. To do that,  buffet catering   would be the perfect solution to such a scenario. What so great is that buffet catering gives us the freedom of when to eat and what to eat. As long as the food is available, you don’t have to worry about it going anywhere. If your party is a casual one, buffet caterings can help lighten the mood. Not every party has to be formal and not every meal has to be formal as well. Having everyone seated at the same time, and getting the same food served is now becoming a chore. A party is where people retreat to get some time off and to relax. Buffet caterings can offer such respite to guests and hosts alike. Getting restless at the table entertaining people? Head...

  As the year wraps up in the wake of Covid-19, companies are still encouraging their employees to work from home. Though the situation might change come December, it’s hard to deny the benefits of working from home. For those who use public transport to travel to and from the office, working from home saves a ton on transport costs and having to eat out all the time. Plus, the ability to catch up on that precious extra hour of sleep!   However, for the usual members of the family who usually cook and prepare meals, it’s a headache in more ways than one. Having everyone at home means having to settle everyone’s lunch  and  dinner now. Everyone’s going to be in the mood for something different every day, and your household might even have a picky eater or two. The most convenient method is requesting food delivery services to suit everyone’s palate.    Even so, the delivery cost is not cheap if you must cater to multiple meals over the week. You might not ge...

Christmas is just round the corner. Most of the people are starting to make plans for the Christmas celebrations despite this covid19 situation. However, we still need to abide by the law on having small group gathering only. So how do we plan for this? Who are the attendees of this party? That’s probably the 1st question that came to our mind. After all, we are only limited to 5 pax in a group now.  Next question will be, where is the celebration going to be held? Many people are planning for a hotel staycation since we are not able to travel, so probably staying in the hotel for 1 or 2 nights might give u the feel of travelling to nearby countries. Alternatively, will be to dine out, and probably hang around somewhere after dinner. Lastly, which is a more popular choice is to gather at a friend or relative house for a closed-door party so that including the hosts themselves, we can cater for another 5 more pax of guests. After deciding a venue, food will come in place as mos...
