Catering

We needed food for our wedding lunch reception and also for Sze’s wedding eve dinner gathering. So we started out by making enquiries about various catering services from the recommendations that we received from relatives. However, with only 1.5 months to go, many of the caterers were already fully booked on our wedding day.

Fortunately, we did not have to look too long to find 2 different restaurants that we were happy to engage for our food catering requirements:

1. Dapur Nyonya Restaurant
Dapur Nyonya was recommended to me by my boss. It is jointly owned by his friend and is located in Bandar Puteri, Puchong, which is nearby our house. We went to the restaurant to try the food… and I loved it! In particular, I really liked their Nyonya Curry as it was very different from any other curry that I have had before.

We went over the menu with Alan, Dapur Nyonya’s restaurant manager. We made several changes to the menu and finally agreed on a catering package, which came standard with some nice decorations as well. This took care of the buffet lunch for our wedding reception at home (after the morning’s Traditional Ceremonies).

2. Samosa Café & Catering
We have had dinner twice previously at the Samosa Café in Taman Connaught, Cheras. During our meals, we spotted a small booklet on the table, offering various catering menus. They looked quite interesting and the food there was reasonably good.

Samosa Catering was quite flexible with their menu. So we decided to hire them to do a simple buffet dinner catering for Sze’s wedding eve gathering. The only setback was that the food and heating trays had to be picked up from the café as delivery was free only for larger orders. But it was not a big problem as Sze’s Dad and brother were around to help out with the transportation.
