What $20 per person buys you
The full catering set-up is our standard ten-item spread, cooked fresh on the morning of your event in the same kitchen and from the same family recipes as our counter on North Bridge Road. It is priced at $20 per person, and the minimum order is 40 pax.
Here is exactly what is on the standard menu:
- White rice, fragrant and steamed
- Beef rendang, slow-cooked over fire until dark and rich
- Ayam opor, grilled chicken braised in a spiced coconut-milk broth
- Udang belado with petai, prawns and stink beans in a fiery chilli paste
- Sambal goreng, bean curd, tempeh and long beans in a mild chilli paste
- Sayur lodeh, garden vegetables in a light coconut-milk broth
- Bagedil, mashed potato patties coated in egg and fried
- Sambal belacan, chilli shrimp paste brightened with lime
- Keropok belinjo, crackers made from melinjo seeds
- Cold fruit punch or teh tarik, your choice
What changes the final bill
The $20 per person figure is for the standard spread. A few things can add to it, and we would rather you know them before you plan your budget than find out on the invoice.
Your quote will set out the total for your date, headcount and address, so you can check every line before you confirm.
- Menu changes. We are happy to tailor the spread, but any change to the standard menu incurs additional charges and is subject to approval.
- Late pick-up. Delivery runs 11:00am to 6:00pm daily. We collect 4 hours after set-up or at 10:00pm, whichever comes first, and an extra $50 applies for pick-up after 7:00pm.
- Jurong Island. Delivery there is charged separately, so please ask when you enquire.
- Bento and bulk trays. These carry a fixed $20 per single drop-off.
Under 40 guests? Bento sets and bulk trays
If your group is smaller than 40, the full set-up is not the right fit, but you can still feed everyone from our kitchen. Our bento sets are packed individually and priced per set: Ayam, Beef or Fish at $11 each, and Vegetarian at $10.
For something in between, we do bulk orders on disposable trays, chosen a la carte from our menu. There is no fixed per-pax price for trays because it depends on the dishes and quantities you pick, so message us on WhatsApp and we will help you work out how much food you need.
Working out your budget
A simple way to start is to multiply your headcount by the per-person price, then add the extras that apply to you. For 40 guests on the standard full set-up, the food comes to $800 before any menu changes or extra charges. For 60 guests it is $1,200.
For a bento lunch, 25 Beef Sets at $11 come to $275, plus the $20 drop-off, so $295. Mixing in a few Vegetarian Sets at $10 brings the average down slightly.
Count your guests honestly. The minimum for the full set-up is 40 pax, and the spread is cooked to your headcount, so a firm number gives you a firm quote.
Booking, cancellations and food safety
Please place your order at least five working days before the event. Bookings are subject to availability, so the earlier you send your date, headcount and address, the easier it is for us to say yes.
Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the event are not refunded, because by then we have bought and started preparing your food. On the day, the food in the small fire chafing-dish trays should be eaten within 4 hours, in line with SFA guidelines, so plan your serving time around that.
