No celebration is complete without the addition of food and there are few occasions which warrant its sharing, the traditional breaking of bread, like a wedding reception. It is not only the bride and groom who are uniting, for in doing so they are bringing two families together. The spirit of conjoining demands the most ancient rite of acceptance, the sharing of great food. Furthermore, it is a tradition which transcends nationality and is common to all wedding day celebrations. Couples who choose the wonderful island-nation of Singapore as the location for their wedding, couldn’t be better placed to bring their special reception the kind of delightful cuisine that is worthy of such a grand occasion.
Singapore is a country for which food is decidedly important. From the melange of local dishes that derive from the many nationalities which constitute the rich multiculturalism, to the luxury hotels with their internationally celebrated chefs and restaurants, it is revered as one of the globe's most exciting culinary destinations. Just about every type of cuisine and style of cookery is represented on the main island.
Those seeking traditional haute cuisine will find exceptional eateries, each with their own signature dishes and individual touches. This profusion of delightful edibles means that couples will have the finest food for their reception. There are a few factors to consider when it comes to catering any event, especially one which deserves the best attention. Venue will play an important part in the kind of catering. A reception which takes places in an isolated location, perhaps one of natural beauty, will have certain limitations as to what kind of food can be served. The type of cuisine will also be affected by the number of guests.
Many guests at a remote location will require the caterers to prepare much of the food in advance if it is to be of the plated variety. This can impact on fresh produce and dishes which ought to be eaten as soon as they are cooked. Further complications arise if the cuisine is to be culturally specific. These considerations should be discussed with the caterer, since many have the skill and facilities to meet most demands. Singapore's caterers include many of the nation’s award-winning restaurants.
A desirable option for those hoping to enjoy cuisine prepared to the same high standards that is to be found in fine dining establishments. Naturally, not all restaurants do cater, but those which do will be able to advise on the dishes that best work out of the restaurant environment. Few things can lend an event prestige like great catering from one of Singapore’s finest restaurants.
If you're holding the reception in a private function room of one of the luxury hotels, catering becomes something far easier. All of the luxury establishments have excellent facilities as well as kitchens and chefs which are themselves recognized throughout local and international fine dining circles. Catering which comes from such a nearby kitchen opens up many options in terms of the style of food. Since all of the city's four and five hotels are geared towards providing every detail for events large and small, hot dishes can be freshly prepared and large numbers easily catered for. They will also be able to provide a wedding cake to most specifications.
Those with special needs, perhaps with dietary considerations, need not worry. Amongst Singapore's excellent chefs are some truly gifted cake-makers, more than one of whom will be able to supply a creation of the finest detail, best ingredients and crafted in any number of styles, from a personal design to classic tiered-cake or perhaps something inventive and unexpected.
Whether sipping celebratory Champagne in the penthouse of splendid hotel or having a master of meaty delights carve lamb from the spit on a twilight-tinged beach, Singapore is the place where food and magic come together. A highly covetable combination for any event, but especially for one which is endowed with beauty, love, family and tradition.
