Bite-sized items with individual plating. You can add on decorative table set-up or request butler service if you’d like assistance serving guests.
How far in advance should we place our order?
Orders must be confirmed at least 3 days in advance.
For larger events or festive seasons, we recommend confirming at least 1 week ahead to secure your preferred date.
Please note orders are only confirmed once payment has been received.

Are you Halal, or do you offer Halal dishes?
We’re not Halal-certified, but many of our dishes contain no pork and no lard.
If you or your guests have dietary restrictions, just let us know and we’ll recommend suitable options.
Do you allow customizations?
Yes, we’ll be happy to customize where possible. Just share your requests and we’ll do our best to assist.
How many Dimsums do you cater per pax
We provide 1.1 portions per guest to ensure there’s enough for everyone.
For example, for a 100-pax order, you’ll receive 110 pieces of each dim sum item.
How many butlers/servers should I book for canapés?
For most events, 3 servers work well for around 50–80 guests.
For larger groups, you can estimate 1 additional server for every 20–30 guests.
Our servers focus on plating and serving canapés. If you’d like help with serving drinks or clearing tables, additional servers will be needed.
Servers do not wash dishes or glassware, so if you’re using your own plateware, we recommend preparing about 3× the number of guests.
