Takeaway at new year means something different
Searching for new year takeaway usually means one of two things: a spread large enough for a family gathering without anyone cooking, or a set of individually packed meals for a household that is not eating together.
Both work here. A mini buffet from 10 pax is the shared-tray version, delivered in insulated warmer bags with everything disposable. Bento from 12 pax is the packed version, one box per person with delivery included.
The difference from ordinary takeaway is that it is ordered ahead. Over the new year that is not a formality — it is the thing that determines whether you get what you wanted, because the busiest dates are placed weeks in advance.
Sized for a gathering
From 10 pax as a shared spread, not single portions.
Ordered ahead

Or packed per person

Ordering a mini buffet for Chinese New Year
A mini buffet arrives in insulated warmer bags with disposable plates, bowls, cutlery, serving gear, a table cloth and a trash bag. Nothing is set up, nothing is collected afterwards, and the bags are yours to keep — which over a festive period is usually the part that matters.
- Minimum order
- 10 pax.
- Price per pax
- $18 per pax at 10–14, $15 per pax at 15–29, $13 per pax at 30–74, $10 per pax at 75+. Higher menu levels available at every tier.

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.
Mini buffet and bento delivery $30
Drop and go: 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. Free on promotional menus above $225.
Buffet delivery and setup $90
One fee covers delivery, a full setup with a skirted table and cloth, warmers, serving gear, disposable plates, cutlery and napkins, and our team returning to collect the equipment after your event.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Can I collect the order myself?
Our orders are delivered rather than collected — the food is prepared across partnering vendor kitchens, so a single collection point is not how it works. Delivery is free on the everyday mini buffet menus from 15 pax up.
What is the smallest takeaway order?
10 pax for a mini buffet spread, or 12 pax for individually packed bento depending on the menu.
When should I book Chinese New Year catering?
Most Chinese New Year orders are placed four to six weeks ahead. Reunion dinner is the single tightest date in the Singapore catering calendar. Booking early does not get you a lower price — it gets you a wider choice of menus, which over a festive period is the thing that actually varies. The tightest dates are reunion dinner on the eve, then the first and second days of the new year.
How much does CNY takeaway catering cost?
Chinese New Year menus are priced separately from our everyday menus and are confirmed with our partnering vendors closer to the season. Tell us your date and headcount in the menu planner and we will send the current menu with prices as soon as it is released. If you would rather book against something already priced, our everyday menus run right through the period — from $15 per pax at 15 people with delivery included.
Can a Chinese New Year takeaway be halal?
Yes. Halal menus come from Muslim-owned stalls, and halal-certified menus are available through our partnering vendors on request. Select halal in the menu planner and only halal menus are shown to you.
Can I order a normal menu instead of a Chinese New Year one?
Yes, and plenty of people do. Our everyday mini buffet, buffet and bento menus run right through the period at their usual prices — $18 per pax at 10 people plus $30 delivery, $15 from 15 with delivery free, $13 from 30. A festive menu is an option, not a requirement.
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 free on mini buffet and bento orders of $225 or more before GST. Below that it is $30, and a 10 pax order always carries the fee whatever the order comes to. On the entry-level mini buffet menus $225 is reached at 15 pax. A buffet with setup 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.
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.
