Chinese New Year Catering in Singapore: How to Feed Your Team or Family

Chinese New Year catering is one of the most anticipated parts of the festive season in Singapore, whether it's a reunion dinner at home or an office celebration before everyone heads off for the holidays. At Makan Mate, our CNY menu is designed around the dishes that matter most during this period: prosperity, abundance, and togetherness.


Yu Sheng (Prosperity Toss) - A CNY Must-Have


No Chinese New Year celebration is complete without Yu Sheng, the colourful raw fish salad tossed together for good fortune. Our CNY menu features several Yu Sheng options, including:


  • Classic Yu Sheng
  • Smoked Salmon Yu Sheng
  • Abalone Yu Sheng
  • A fully vegan Yu Sheng option

Yu Sheng can be ordered as part of a set menu or as a standalone a la carte item, perfect for adding the tossing tradition to any gathering, big or small.


Mini Party Sets - Ideal for Smaller Reunion Gatherings


For smaller family reunions, friends gathering or intimate office celebrations, our CNY mini buffet sets are designed for 8 pax, complete with Yu Sheng, mains, noodles, and dessert. These sets come in a range of tiers, from vegan-friendly options to more premium spreads featuring abalone and seafood - so you can choose based on your group's preferences and budget.


Full Buffet Sets - For Larger Reunions and Office Parties


For bigger gatherings, big family reunion dinners, office CNY lunches, or community celebrations, our CNY buffet sets cater to larger groups with a full spread of festive dishes: Yu Sheng, braised specialities, seafood, and the all-important Niangao, Peach Gum & Longan dessert for sweetness in the new year. These buffet sets range from accessible vegan options to premium spreads featuring abalone, sea cucumber, and other festive delicacies, suitable for both home reunions and corporate CNY celebrations.


CNY Bento - A Practical Option for Office Celebrations


For offices that prefer individually packed meals, our CNY bento sets offer a festive twist on our regular bento format, available in Asian and Japanese-style menus, each including a main dish, sides, dessert, and a drink. This is a popular choice for companies looking to mark the occasion without a full buffet setup.


A La Carte Additions - "Delightful Blessing" Side Orders


Looking to add something extra to your existing spread? Our a la carte CNY menu includes festive favourites such as Pen Cai (Bountiful Treasure Pot), braised abalone and seafood sets, otah, chicken gyoza, and Nyonya tapioca kueh, perfect for topping up a reunion dinner or adding a festive touch to an office party.


Planning Your CNY Catering Order


Our CNY menu is released annually ahead of the festive season, with options spanning mini party sets, full buffet sets, bento, and a la carte additions, suitable for both family reunions and corporate celebrafestions.
