t has been a busy year for prominent home-grown caterer, Neo Group Limited. 2012 will go down in its history as the year it celebrated its 20th anniversary and more significantly, the year it launched the Initial Public Offering (IPO) of 22 million shares. It is one of only two caterers here that are public listed. Established in 1992 by Founder, Chairman and CEO, Mr Neo Kah Kiat, Neo Group is currently ranked Singaporeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number one events caterer with a nine per cent share of the market according to the consumer markets research firm, Euromonitor. Apart from its F&B retail business which include 17 Umisushi outlets located island-wide, it also owns three brands â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Neo Garden Catering, Orange Clove Catering and Deli Hub Catering, with each serving a unique clientele base.

That Neo Group has its fundamentals right is also evident in the industry accolades it has garnered, such as double-award wins for both Entrepreneur of the Year Award 2012 and Singapore Prestige Brand Award 2011, among others. Says Mr Neo, “We believe that Neo Group’s success in Singapore’s F&B industry reflects our high food quality and service, competency in brand building and our understanding of the local market.” He adds that they will accelerate their expansion to eventually cater for up to 30,000 people or 1,000 events per day. Customers can also expect a wider selection of novel concepts and menus that will bring their catering experiences to new heights. *Based on Euromonitor’s report, ”Events Catering Services Singapore” dated April 2012

LAVISH DINE What it takes to be flamboyant Lavish Dine is the recipient of the inaugural Flamboyant Dining Award given by Aggresive Media to caterers with the unique ability to marry aesthetics with culinary expertise. Over the past 13 years, Lavish Dine has built a reputation for creating flamboyant, oneof-a-kind events with that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; factor. Their creative streak and inventive approach to catering led them to stage such events like exotic middle-eastern soirees complete with desert tents and belly dancers, classic Chinese dinners set under ornate pavilions and sushi served on a female model platter. For Lavish Dine, their events are more than a party - they are occasions that tell a story and communicate an idea or a concept. And the team at Lavish Dine see to it that every event captures the essence of the occasion.

FEATURE

No expenses are spared when it comes to recreating an authentic experience for guests entertainers are hired, venues are scrutinised and appropriate furniture are sourced both locally and overseas, all in the name of authenticity. Indeed, their collection of props and furniture that include avant-garde and antique pieces are so large they are housed in dedicated warehousing facilities.

It is without doubt a hefty investment, but as Lavish Dine believes, they go a long way in creating unique events with character and flavour. Apart from creating customised experiences, Lavish Dine also caters to those who need straight-forward catering services such as corporate packages, standard buffets, wedding receptions and BBQs.

A Fine Palate Fine Palate is owned and managed by Heather Barrie, a native Australian and passionate home cook. When she came to Singapore 20 years ago, the local catering scene was still maturing and lacked caterers that could create unique dining experiences for the expatriate community. And so Fine Palate was born, driven by Heatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flair for hosting and appreciation of fine foods and wine. Today, Fine Palate is highly regarded for its distinctive menus and conceptualisation services. It draws inspiration from cuisines around the world and serves mainly classic dishes with a cosmopolitan twist. Unique menus are created for events as wide ranging as home parties, corporate functions, formal dining parties and other social gatherings. Their Western style buffets, sit-down dinners, carving stations, dip platters and fresh oyster stations all add an interesting dimension to the dining experience. Besides event catering, Fine Palate offers ready-to-eat options like canapĂŠ platters and gourmet bento boxes with choice appetizers, mains, sides and dessert. Its private dining venue called Studio 54 (pictured below), is the perfect setting where your party comes together with great ambience, good food and close company.

TRANSFORMERS Theme What better way to celebrate a boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday than with a Transformers themed birthday party? It can be really easy to pull off with a bit of effort.

Tips: A cost-effective way to decorate the party venue is to use Transformers toys and paraphernalia you already have from home. Have an Autobot vs. Decepticon scavenger hunt. Divide the children into two teams and set the scene: the Spark is missing. The first Transformers team to retrieve the Spark wins a prize. Venue:

Bt Batok Civil Service Club, MAD Lounge

s d i KParty Soccer Theme A soccer-themed party is one of the easiest to pull off – inexpensive décor items are readily available and kids simply love ball games – it’s a sure-win formula to get the kids going.

Tips: Instead of renting toys to keep the little ones occupied, bring something you already have from home. A junior soccer set, a whistle and a couple of balls are all you need to get a soccer game going. Spruce up a bare wall with printed paper plates which you can re-use for other parties. Venue:

Tips: Decorate your buffet spread with toy soldiers, army play sets and toy planes. For added effect, layer the buffet table with camouflage netting, available at army supply stores. Save on goodie bag packaging by using sandwich bags. Get your child to help pack them and decorate the bags with a personal drawing for each friend who is coming to the party. Venue:

Confinement Food

Black chicken is rich in protein and helps to enrich blood cells.

117

Traditionally known for its ability to purify the blood and cleanse the arteries, black vinegar is used liberally in Pig’s Trotter with Black Vinegar & Ginger.

Rich in Vitamin E, iron and calcium, sesame oil is used in many confinement food recipes because of its ‘heaty’ property. 118

Confinement Food

Ginger is believed to dispel â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;windâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from the body. It is also good for promoting digestion and overall blood circulation.

Their confinement food follows carefully researched recipes tailored to improve vitality, enhance blood circulation and support healthy lactation during breastfeeding months.
