We recently had the good fortune of having a taste of On & On Diner’s catering and I must tell you, I was very pleased. If you don’t know, On & On Diners is a halal catering company with a total of 10 years of service experience, they started out in 2009 with an emphasis on catering food that is prepared & cooked with fresh ingredients and healthier oils. They also have some unique dishes that they have created to bring a new spin on flavours to please a wide range of audience.
When they first brought in the food (it was nice and warm), my inner-Singaporean screamed out in joy; why? The food was packed to the BRIM. I am not kidding, every dish that I ordered was packed to its maximum capacity but was also very well secured so that nothing leaked. Even after a few people went digging away at the dishes; it still looked like it was full and untouched — that was how packed it was! I am certainly not complaining about the quantity. We ordered for 18 people but I am certain we could have kept an upward of 20 people fed and happy. Talk about value for money!
What’s On My CNY Mini Buffet Menu
We ordered the CNY Mini buffet for $19.90 per pax for 18 people. Here are the things that we choose from a wide array of selections:
- Rice: Golden Sand Seafood Fried Rice
- Noodle: Ee Fu Noodles with Yellow Chives
- Vegetables: Authentic Nonya Chap Chye
- Tofu: Hong Shao Tofu with Sugar Snap Peas
- Poultry: Wok Fried Ginger Scallion
- Chicken: Signature Salted Egg Yolk Chicken
- Fish: Sweet & Sour Fish with Nate De Coco
- Seafood: Tofu Prawn in Chilli Crab Sauce
- Side dish: Tempura Scallop with Tartar Dip
- Dessert: Ice Ai Yu Jelly with Fruit Cocktail
When it comes to quality: the crowd favourite was the Tofu Prawn in Chilli Crab Sauce, almost everyone took a second/third serving of it. I personally enjoyed the Signature Salted Egg Yolk Chicken the most; the smell was pleasing but not overwhelming. The dish was not as salty as most salted egg yolk dishes out there but I prefer talking the healthier path anyway. It doesn’t leave you feeling “jelak” (sick of a certain taste/smell after several mouthfuls).
The Sweet and Sour Fish with Nate De Coco was peculiar to my eyes at first but surprisingly pleasant when it reached my taste buds; I wouldn’t have expected anyone to whip up a dish like that to be utterly honest. I guess they weren’t lying when they said they were creative at conjuring up their own dishes!
The food overall was really good and the portions were generous; perfect for those wanting to host a Chinese New Year gathering in their homes this Year. You could save a ton of time preparing and cooking; allowing you to experience the true spirit of the festive season — which is to spend quality time with your family, friends and loved ones. Since On & On is a Halal certified catering company; you can now share the joyous occasion with your Muslim friends without worrying about diet differences and focus on collecting those ang pows.
Since CNY is coming, On & On catering has been cooking up a storm in their kitchens perfecting the ultimate combination of NEW YEAR DISHES, bringing back traditional tastes and dishes that are close our hearts. You can expect dishes like; Ma La Xiang Guo, Homemade Dim Sum Set, Prosperity Gui Fei Abalone Yu Sheng Set and Homemade cold platter.
