Why Hosting A CNY Buffet At Home Can Be Overwhelming

Hosting a Chinese New Year feast is a tradition many families cherish, but it comes with challenges that can quickly become overwhelming. Preparing symbolic dishes such as dumplings for wealth, fish for abundance, and noodles for longevity requires not only skill but also significant time.

  • Shopping for large quantities of ingredients can be costly and time-consuming.
  • Cooking multiple dishes for 30 or more guests often takes days of preparation.
  • Presentation is crucial during festive occasions, yet achieving professional quality at home is difficult.
  • Dietary preferences and restrictions add another layer of complexity.

At Shiok Kitchen Catering, we understand these struggles. Our CNY catering services are designed to remove the stress from your celebration. By entrusting us with the food, you can focus on enjoying the reunion, connecting with loved ones, and welcoming prosperity into the new year.
