5 Types of Buffet Menus That Will Elevate Your Next Event

Let’s be honest—planning an event in Singapore today isn’t just about picking a venue. It’s about creating an experience. The food you serve plays a huge role in that. And if you want your event to leave a lasting impression, you need a buffet menu that delivers both flavour and finesse.

At Shiok Kitchen Catering, we’ve spent over 20 years perfecting buffet menus that do just that. Whether you're planning a team lunch or a full-scale corporate gala, there's a perfect menu waiting to match your vision.

Here are 5 types of buffet catering menus—all available at Shiok Kitchen Catering—that are trending in 2025 and guaranteed to impress.

1. Best Buffet Catering in Singapore for Corporate Events 

Corporate events in Singapore are evolving. Gone are the days of generic trays and lukewarm meals. Today, companies are choosing curated buffets that reflect their brand and their values.

What’s hot in 2025?

  • Menus that offer plant-based or sustainable options

  • Setups that complement event styling

  • Dishes that balance health, flavor, and presentation

The Modern Singapore Net Zero Buffet is a favourite for this reason—contemporary, conscious, and beautifully presented. It’s ideal for client meetings, press launches, or leadership roundtables.

Tip: Match your menu with your brand message. Going green? Go Net Zero.

And because Singapore is moving fast toward sustainable business practices, incorporating an eco-conscious menu sends the right message without sacrificing taste.

2. Affordable Buffet Options for Office Lunches in Singapore

Looking for a cost-effective way to treat your team without cutting corners on quality? We hear this all the time.

Our Standard Buffets are the answer—designed for simplicity, value, and variety. With pricing starting at just $14 per pax, these menus are perfect for:

  • Departmental lunches

  • Project wrap-ups

  • Regular staff appreciation meals

  • Weekly team bonding lunches

The beauty of this buffet? You get carefully selected dishes that are hearty, familiar, and easy to enjoy. And it’s all presented professionally, with linen-lined buffet tables and polished serving equipment.

Quick tip: Add a beverage option to keep your setup cohesive and stress-free.

Need vegetarian or halal options? No problem—Shiok Kitchen offers full flexibility in meeting dietary needs.

3. Deluxe Buffet Catering for Mid-Sized Business Events

The Deluxe Buffet offers more courses, more balance, and more sophistication.

With 12 + 1 courses, it hits that sweet spot where quantity meets quality—ideal for:

  • Networking events

  • Company anniversaries

  • Media or supplier engagements

  • Mid-year performance celebrations

This menu level introduces more premium proteins, intricate sauces, and creative sides. It’s not just food—it’s a conversation starter.

Why choose this menu?

  • Balanced variety across proteins, vegetables, and starches

  • Elegant presentation with customisable layouts

  • Designed to keep guests full but not overstuffed

Popular in 2025: Lighter proteins, less fried food, and fusion-style sauces.

Pair this menu with ambient music and cocktail drinks to create a semi-formal yet comfortable vibe.

4. Premium Buffet Menu for Product Launches & Exclusive Events

Launching something new? Then serve something bold.

Our Premium Buffet gives you 14 + 1 curated courses, a level up from the Deluxe. Designed to impress, this menu is popular among marketing and events teams looking to make an impact.

Why it works:

  • Wide variety of proteins, grains, and vegetable dishes

  • Perfect pacing from appetiser to dessert

  • Visually striking presentation

It’s often used for:

  • Product launches

  • Award ceremonies

  • PR and media nights

  • Client onboarding sessions

Tip: Combine this with a minimalist setup and ambient lighting for serious wow-factor.

In 2025, Singaporean events are leaning toward immersive experiences—think branded food displays and theme-coordinated plating. Shiok Kitchen helps bring these visions to life.

5. Executive Buffet Catering for VIP Guests and High-Level Functions

If you’re hosting top clients, dignitaries, or board members, don’t settle. Go Executive.
