Dishes from the stalls that specialise in them

Our Chinese mini buffet menus are assembled across several stalls rather than cooked in one kitchen, which is the point: the curry chicken comes from the stall that makes curry chicken all day, and the fried rice from the one that makes fried rice.

The entry-level menu is $15 per pax from 15 pax with delivery included. There are four levels above it — $20, $25, $30 and $45 — where the dishes get more premium rather than more numerous.

  • Multi-stall, not one kitchen

    Each dish comes from a stall that focuses on it.

  • From $15 per pax

    Delivery free from 15 pax. $13 from 30, $10 from 75.

  • Over 40 free swaps

    Change any dish for another at no extra cost before confirming.

  • Halal Chinese available

    A separate halal Chinese menu from Muslim-owned stalls, at the same price.

The entry-level menu

What comes on the $15 Chinese menu

This is the eight-dish spread at 15 pax and above. At 10 pax the second meat dish is not included, so the spread is seven.

  • Curry Chicken with Potato
  • Pork Rib King (Boneless)
  • Crispy Fish with Salted Egg Yolk Coating
  • Stir Fried Nai Bai with Crispy Garlic Topping
  • Superior Soy Sauce Egg Tofu with Seasonal Greens
  • Egg Fried Rice with Scallion
  • Malaysian Style Quick Cook Noodles Tossed in Dark Sauce and Fragrant Oil
  • Chilled Longan & Sea Coconut

Every dish has 43 free alternatives, including Gong Bao Chicken Dices, Curry Chicken with Potato, Butter Cereal Chicken, Vegetarian Curry Mock Chicken, Vegetarian Sweet and Sour Mock Chicken with Pineapple and Lychee.

Moving up a level

What the higher menus change

The dish count stays roughly the same as you move up, but the swap list opens up: 43 free options on the $15 menu, 64 on the $20, 82 on the $25, 88 on the $30 and 89 on the $45. At the top level almost nothing costs extra.

So the choice between levels is really a choice about how much of the catalogue you want to reach into, not about how much food arrives.

Before you order

How ordering works

  • Book early for popular dates

    Our cutoff is one day before your event. In practice, order earlier: festive periods, year-end parties and weekend slots fill up well ahead, and booking early secures both your slot and the dishes you want.

  • Delivery $30

    For mini buffet and bento orders, islandwide, and free on promotional menus above $225.

  • Drop and go, nothing to return

    Food arrives in insulated warmer bags that keep it hot, and the bags are yours to keep. Every set comes with serving gear, cutlery, plates, bowls, a disposable table cloth and a trash bag, so you can bag everything up and bin it the moment you are done.

  • Changes up to 24 hours before

    Adjust your headcount, menu or timing more than 24 hours 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.

Additional charges may apply for outlying areas (Tengah, Lim Chu Kang, Tuas, Sentosa, Changi Airport and Alps Avenue), deliveries before 10am or after 7.30pm, and venues without lift access. Every charge is confirmed in your quotation before you pay. See full terms.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much is a Chinese mini buffet in Singapore?

From $15 per pax at 15 pax with delivery included, $13 from 30 pax and $10 from 75. At 10 pax it is $18 per pax plus $30 delivery.

What dishes are on a Chinese mini buffet?

The entry-level menu runs to eight dishes: two meats, a fish, two vegetables, a rice, a noodle and a dessert. Curry chicken, crispy fish with salted egg yolk coating, stir-fried nai bai, egg fried rice and Malaysian-style noodles are the regulars.

Can I get a Chinese menu that is halal?

Yes. Our halal Chinese menu covers the same style of dishes and comes from Muslim-owned stalls, with halal-certified menus available through our partnering vendors on request. It is priced identically.

Can I include vegetarian dishes?

Yes. Vegetarian Curry Mock Chicken and Vegetarian Sweet and Sour Mock Chicken with Pineapple and Lychee are free swaps, and several of the vegetable, tofu, rice and noodle dishes are vegetarian as they come.

What comes with the order?

Insulated warmer bags that are yours to keep, serving gear, cutlery, plates, bowls, a disposable table cloth and a trash bag. There is nothing to return and nobody comes back to collect.

How far in advance should I order catering?

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.

Is there a delivery fee?

Delivery is $30 on mini buffet orders below our promotional threshold and free on promotional menus above $225, which in practice means free from 15 pax upwards. Our bento promotional menus include delivery at every tier. Buffet with setup is $90, which covers delivery, setting up the buffet line and collecting the equipment afterwards. Additional charges may apply for outlying areas, deliveries before 10am or after 7.30pm, and venues without lift access. Every charge is confirmed in your quotation.

What is included with the food?

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.

Can I change or cancel my order?

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.
