Every commercial food preparation kitchen in Singapore must be NEA-licensed. The licence number should appear on invoices, website, and packaging. Home-based caterers at scale without NEA licence are illegal. For large events (100+ guests), licensing becomes critical — food safety incidents at scale affect many people.
No. "Halal-friendly" or "using halal ingredients" is not the same as MUIS certification — a halal-certified kitchen with dedicated halal-only equipment. Muslim guests need full MUIS certification for confidence, especially for weddings and formal events. For informal or mixed-religious events, "halal-friendly" may be acceptable but guests should know the distinction.
For confirmed bookings, free tastings are typical. Otherwise S\$30-80 token fee. You'd taste 4-8 representative dishes, discuss adjustments, and clarify portion sizing. Reputable caterers welcome tastings as a quality signal. Caterers that refuse tastings or charge excessive fees often run inconsistent quality.
Get clear portion sizing in writing — grams per head or clear serving numbers. Standard is 1.2-1.5 portions per person (accounting for repeat visits). Vague "enough for all" produces buffets running out at the 80% mark. Specify vegetarian, halal, or dietary accommodation numbers separately to ensure adequate options for those guests.
