hihi

i plan to invite my family to my place for a small catch up (lunch).
not thinking of using caterers due to budget constraints.

thinking of preparing just 1 dish - finger food using air fryer.
the rest, about 5 or 6 dishes i intend to buy.
abit headache where to order for the main dish (fried rice or noodle or any suggestion)
any suggestions please? budget

Just head down to your favourite zhichar place; order 1 large portion of fried rice, 1 large portion of beehoon (these don’t go soggy easily), and add on other sides eg prawn paste fried chicken, sambal kangkong etc etc. That’s what i do when we have 10 pax Chinese gatherings.

Usually if nearby i will just go an hour before dinnertime & wait there while they cook. Lunch is a bit tricky as some only open kitchen at 11am. Try to get their phone number the next time u pass by. And ask them how much notice they need, whether they will call your HP when ready for pickup etc.

Roughly which area do u live? Maybe someone can recommend a few options near there?

If you have kids in the group… don’t forget they will love some lollipops. Can get many types from Snack21.com
