Can’t believe Cdd is soon going to be TWO months old! We held a belated baby full month party last weekend when he was six weeks old – for friends and family who haven’t had the chance to see him at the hospital. Who knows all that he did was sleep throughout the event. And when he woke up, he screamed immediately and I had to go upstairs to feed him. We’re really sorry guys! We will have another gathering when he is older and hopefully less angry with the world. *insert roll eye emoji* Our Venue (err I don’t recommend this!) We decided to try holding the party at the multi-purpose space at our block as we’ve seen a lot of events being held there. DON’T DO IT. The ventilation isn’t the best and there are no toilets. Our guests had to go up and down to our unit for toilet breaks. If you want to hold it downstairs your block please arrange for a portable toilet for the convenience of everyone! Lighting was bad also which equates to lousy photos. And not that the rental was cheap!! We will consider Bukit Batok CSC next time … air conditioned with great facilities! But! There are still highlights to the party ok! I rented a bouncy castle for the kids! Cbb was so thrilled … ok she was thrilled BEFORE all the other kids arrived and she suddenly turned upset. ‘Why are you upset, baby girl?’ ‘Because… because… other people bounce my bouncy castle!’ Oh dear, I had told her the week before that I will have a surprise for her. I didn’t expect her to take it that it was a surprise FOR HER ONLY. Wahaha. In happier times… Customised Thematic Decor And because I rented a bouncy castle, I asked the people at Elsie’s Kitchen if we could have a CARNIVAL theme to go with our buffet (their 2019 Christmas Menu is OUT! Go take a look!). And WOW of course they delivered! Yes all the decor you see comes with the buffet catering. Elsie’s Kitchen does customised decor for your event! Take a look at the magic they conjured up for us: Quite cool right?? The colour scheme is on point and the little touches all contributed to the CARNIVAL theme. I always love ordering from Elsie’s because they’re a one-stop-shop. No need to engage decor companies or have a separate pretty dessert table! Baby Full Month Boxes And I also discovered that they also provide BABY FULL MONTH BOXES! We were going to order from somewhere else, then I browsed their website and saw they do the baby full month boxes too! Super awesome really, less headache on logistics and no need to liaise with different vendors. Saves this mummy so much time and effort! You can customise the box sleeve: The Ang Ku Kueh had great reviews… but of course Cbb went straight for the cupcakes. LOL. And now for the 2019 Christmas Catering Menu This Christmas, Elsie’s Kitchen is supporting local farmers and focusing on home-grown fresh produce such as Sakura chicken, seafood (barramundi, prawns and mussels, etc), as well as a myriad of vegetables and mushrooms. Here are some of the dishes from their extensive Christmas selections: Very unique and locally inspired dishes! The Yasai Tempura was the bomb… there were still some leftovers at the end of the party and we packed some home to AIRFRY till perfectly crispy for dinner hehe. It’s seriously AMAZING and not oily at all! I forgot to take a pic of the Iced Lemongrass Sweetened Green Tea. I really liked it!

]]> Why you should choose Elsie’s Kitchen as your baby’s full month buffet caterer https://www.budgetpantry.com/elsies-kitchen-baby-full-month-caterer/ Sun, 26 Aug 2018 09:05:37 +0000 https://budgetpantry.com/?p=10684 Readers of budgetpantry would know that I’m a BIG fan of Elsie’s Kitchen. If you’re doing research on baby full month or birthday party buffet catering, consider them! Why is Elsie’s Kitchen my #1 choice when it comes to buffet catering? Here are my top three reasons: 1. They’re 100% halal certified. This is a must-have for me because I have muslim guests, and when hosting a full month party or even big events, being halal certified is TOP of my requirements. 2. Their thematic set-up décor is awesome and can be customised! I engaged Elsie’s Kitchen for cbb’s full month party and they dressed up the buffet so well, complete with a cute diaper cake and dessert table! Read about it here. And when she turned one year old, it was without question that I got them to help again. I asked for an ‘enchanted forest’ theme, and they outdid themselves again. Read about our experience here, and see for yourself! Also view their baby full month photo gallery on their website, and see the décor they have done for other families. 3. Their menu is super innovative with interesting flavours + reasonable prices Gula meleka cupcakes? Cheng tng konnyaku jelly? Kopi-C cream puff? Their menu selection really blows me away! Some of my favourite innovative dishes: Cuttlefish & Kang Kong Tempura with Spicy Dipping Sauce, Battered Eggplant with ‘Curried’ Chicken Floss, La La in Laksa Cream and of course their Signature Muar Mackerel Otah! Check out their buffet menus here. I promise you’ll be spoilt for choice mix and matching! ————————– Because I’ve used their services for the longest time even before cbb was born, it was of no surprise that I got them to help us at Singapore Tula Love‘s recent birthday party! Look at what their décor team did for us… an Under the Sea theme! We opted for their tea reception menu because refreshment time for our event was at 2.30pm. I love the buffet selection: Dishes included: Vegetarian Black Bee Hoon with Crispy Beancurd Skin Pandan Gula Melaka Muffin Fried Saito Fishball Chicken Floss Mayonnaise Sandwich Cheng Teng Konnyaku Jelly Tau Suan with You Tiao Barley Cordial We were spoilt for choice as there was easily more than 60 dishes to choose from at only $5.50 per pax! How to go about indicating you want a thematic set-up? Simply order your regular buffet or tea reception as usual, then top up accordingly for your preferred theme set up. Send them an email at sales@elsiekitchen.com.sg, tell them you read about the buffet + thematic set up on budgetpantry, and they will guide you from there.
