To cater for a buffet or a buffet dining?

Image
  When was the last time you went for a buffet? Did you make your money’s worth? After all, the buffet is where you can eat your money’s worth. But that is if you have the appropriate appetite for the buffet you are going to. Most of the time, many people don’t eat their money’s worth. The question here is, why not cater your own buffet instead of going to expensive buffets where you can almost never eat your money’s worth?

  Do you know that people are still confused between banquet and catering despite being two very different things? In Singapore, we have very distinct definitions for “Buffet” and “Banquet”. The most distinct difference between them is the definition of it. A banquet is a formal meal served to a large group of people which usually involves more than 5 courses of dishes that includes main courses, desserts and soup. They are usually served in major events such as a wedding, a ceremony or any other events that can involve guests. On the other hand, a buffet, catered or not, refers to a casual meal served to either a small or medium-sized group of people in either public or private setting where meals are meant to be self-serviced. The food selection may not be as grand as banquets but it is definitely self-sufficient. Here are some points of difference between a banquet and a buffet. Location The location of the banquet has to be somewhere grand. This can range from a private ballroo...
