How Bio-Degradable Bentos Are Revolutionizing Sustainable Lunch Packaging

Can a meal be both delightful and environmentally responsible? At Shiok Kitchen Catering, we say absolutely yes. Our dedication to sustainability is more than a trend—it's a promise we uphold through our thoughtfully designed bio-degradable bentos.

Singapore’s bustling food scene, with its love for convenience and takeaway meals, has long relied on single-use plastic packaging. The environmental impact is significant, but so is the opportunity for change. That’s where we come in. Our bio-degradable bentos are a smarter, greener way to enjoy catered meals—without sacrificing taste or convenience.

TLDR / Key Takeaways

  • Shiok Kitchen Catering offers full meals in bio-degradable bentos, perfect for all event types.

  • Choose from an array of cuisines like Japanese, Thai, Korean, Western, and more.

  • Each bento includes an appetizer, main course, dessert, and compostable cutlery.

  • Ideal for corporate, educational, or community functions.

  • Simple online ordering with minimum quantity requirements.

Why Switch to Bio-Degradable Bentos?

Packaging is one of the biggest contributors to catering waste. Most disposable containers are made from plastic or Styrofoam—materials that can take hundreds of years to decompose. Our bio-degradable bentos, on the other hand, are made from renewable resources like bamboo pulp and plant fibers. They naturally break down within months, leaving a significantly smaller environmental footprint.

But the benefits go beyond sustainability. Our bentos are designed for presentation, portion control, and easy handling. You won’t need serving staff, shared utensils, or even a cleanup crew. It’s catering made simple, efficient, and eco-conscious.

What Comes in a Bio-Degradable Bento?

Every bio-degradable bento from Shiok Kitchen Catering is crafted to be a complete, satisfying meal. Here’s what you can expect in each box:

  • A flavourful appetizer to kick things off.

  • A delicious main course, with cuisine options tailored to your preferences.

  • A sweet dessert to complete the experience.

  • Compostable cutlery and napkins, ensuring a fuss-free, sustainable dining setup.

These single-serve meals are ideal when hygiene is a concern, such as at corporate meetings or school programs.

Cuisines That Cater to Every Taste

We believe food should be as diverse as the people we serve. That’s why our bio-degradable bentos come in a wide range of cuisines:

  • Japanese – Think teriyaki chicken, sushi rice, tamago, and seaweed salad.

  • Thai – Enjoy green curry, mango salad, and fragrant jasmine rice.

  • Malay – Featuring nasi lemak, beef rendang, and sambal egg.

  • Korean – Options like bulgogi beef, japchae, and kimchi.

  • Western – Roasted meats, pasta dishes, and rich desserts.

  • Oriental – Balanced stir-fries and traditional rice combinations.

  • Nyonya – Peranakan favourites like ayam pongteh, blue pea rice, and ondeh-ondeh.

This variety ensures your guests have options that respect their tastes and dietary needs.

Note: We do have a minimum order quantity (MOQ) for bentos. Orders below the MOQ may not be accepted at checkout.
