Cheap halal catering, and where the rate actually drops

$10 per pax from 75 people, with $30 delivery, on the entry-level menus. At smaller headcounts: $13 from 30, $15 from 15, and $18 plus $30 delivery at 10.

No. Halal menus are priced identically to the equivalent non-halal ones — $18 per pax at 10 people plus $30 delivery, $15 from 15 plus $30 delivery, $13 from 30 and $10 from 75.

No. The entry-level menu is eight dishes at 15 pax and above — the same structure as the higher menu levels, with different dishes on it. What you get for more money is a more premium selection, not more plates.

Our halal menus come from Muslim-owned stalls. Halal-certified menus — carrying MUIS certification — are available through our partnering vendors on request. Those are two different things, and if your event requires certification specifically rather than halal preparation, say so when you enquire so we only look at vendors who carry it.

Select halal in the menu planner. From that point only halal menus are shown to you, including every free swap option, so there is nothing to check afterwards.

The latest we can take an order is one day before your event. We recommend booking earlier than that: popular dates such as Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Christmas and the year-end party season are taken weeks ahead, and ordering early secures your slot and the dishes you want. For large events, the earlier the better.

On a mini buffet, delivery is free from 30 pax up and $30 from 10 to 29 pax. Bento carries $30 at every headcount. A buffet with setup has no delivery fee and instead carries a $90 setup fee, charged once per order, which covers delivery, laying out the buffet line and collecting the equipment afterwards. Remote postal codes, deliveries at 9.59am or earlier or 7.31pm or later, and venues without lift access can add a surcharge on top; every one is published and appears in your quotation before you confirm.

Mini buffet orders are drop and go: the food arrives in insulated warmer bags that are yours to keep, with serving gear, cutlery, plates, bowls, a disposable table cloth and a trash bag, so you can bag everything up and bin it after your event. Bento meals come individually boxed with cutlery. Buffet with setup includes a skirted table and cloth, warmers, serving gear, disposable plates, cutlery and napkins, and our team returns to collect the equipment.

Yes, with more than 24 hours' notice before your event, subject to availability. Within 24 hours the food and manpower are already committed, so changes and cancellations are normally not accepted and a fee of 50% to 100% of the order may apply.
