Catering for a renowned factory with exceptional food choices. Well, it was more like a Malaysian food fair.

Are you in the mood for a Malaysian feast like never before? Hosting a big crowd? For all your cravings, Catering Penang DotCom has not only got you covered with delicious food but also eye-catching action stalls. Referring to our previous action stall catering services, this factory in Prai approached us for their annual dinner. The menu was focused on local delights, including live-action stalls.

Thanks to the spacious outdoor area, we set up the buffet lines and action stalls on both sides. The scents and sights from the sizzling woks of Char Koay Teow and Mamak Mee Goreng, colourful Ice Kacang, and marinated Whole Lamb captured the hearts of many. It somewhat felt like walking into a Malaysian-themed food fair. In addition, many guests were already taking photos of the dining scenes.

A Balanced Menu for the Factory Catering Buffet

A key factor for a successful menu is the variation to satisfy most types of eaters. Nestum Fried Prawns and Squid Rings for seafood fans, spring roll and mix vegetables for vegetarians and of course, the delectable combination of ayam masak merah and satay for meat lovers. The seafood fried rice, with eggs and fish cakes, was filling and paired with every item on the menu. The final touch has to be fresh fruits for a balanced diet.

From our observation, everyone tried all types of food. To proportionate the quantity of satay, we placed them in paper cups of 4 skewers each. It made it presentable and convenient to eat the meat skewers too. Moreover, this ensures everyone gets their fair portion of satay – which often runs out fast! Beverage-wise, hot coffee and lime cordial did no mistake.

What Makes Action Stalls Special for a Catering Service?

Most factory catering services take place in their own location. We do have requests for outdoor catering for team buildings but it’s for a smaller pax. To fit a large quantity of people, the factory itself is the best spot. Nevertheless, the goal is to uplift the dining environment and make it unforgettable. Here is where catering action stalls come to the rescue.

The activities from the food stations will start your appetite right away. It’s no secret that the food tastes better when you see it being prepared. In one of our previous buffet catering, some guests were interested in seeing the toppings for curry mee and got excited looking at the piping hot broth. When served, the dish replicates a moment like getting it from a street food.

The Factory Catering Turns into a Gastronomic Dining Experience

For this catering event, the stand-out action stall was the Roasted Lamb. The meat was juicy and tender, as some say melts in your mouth. The lamb was deboned to perfection and paired with condiments. To our surprise, we were also getting compliments for Mamak Mee Goreng. This dish is rare in catering services as it is often pre-made. The aroma of the sauces and the wok skills caught the attention of the guests. Generously loaded with tofus and fritters, it was a textural triumph in each bite. In some events with children, guests can suggest the cook to make the noodles less spicy.

The Perfect Catering for a Large Crowd

Guests feel transported to a new dining atmosphere thanks to the full-of-life stalls. Walking around with plates of hot noodles, chunks of lamb and satay skewers. Even better, you could hear conversations revolving around food. In addition, reminding us of our cruise buffet catering, when expats understood more about Malaysian local delights. Our decoration is usually simple and presentable, since the food should be the main star. For festivals, we do have props and ornaments that highlight the special day. For instance, check out our Chinese New Year catering.

Another positive note was the favourable reviews from the person in charge. She agreed to the difference that action stalls make for a catering event. As expected, the Ayam Masak Merah, Roasted Lamb, Nestum Fried Prawns and Char Koay Teow were favourites. We are delighted that the event went well. Apart from completing a big crowd order, the unique food experience was a nod to our commitment. We believe that when the employees return to work days later, they will recall the catering dinner.

We are looking forward to more factory catering services. Adhering to customer’s food suggestions and budgets, Catering Penang DotCom vies to impress you for your next event.
