Catering thread 4

[zach26]

I didn't get to change na anything from my menu but buti na lang everyone liked the food naman. The bbq spareribs and the salmon could be considered na rin pala as dry dishes coz they weren't saucy. Whew!

By the way, I'd just like to share din that I just had my baby baptized last sunday and we got verleo to cater for the reception. Our menu was steamed rice, baked beef lasagna, bbq spareribs, brocolli with crabmeat and asparagues, ox tongue in mushroom sauce, baked salmon with spinach cream sauce, buko lychee and a halo-halo station. The guests loved the food and kept going back for the baked salmon especially. The sauce was separated from it so it didn't overpower the fish. The halo-halo was a hit too coz super dami nyang ingredients. As in complete sya with the leche flan and ube. The only dish which i think they should improve is the ox tongue coz it was pretty bland for me, so I don't think I'll be including that the next time I plan for my baby's 1st birthday party. I'll definitely be getting verleo again!

how much yung package ng Verleo na nakuha mo?

  Hi sisses, let me just remind you that all catering suppliers and other party suppliers has ups and down, may good and bad reviews yan. Hindi ibig sabihin kung nangyari ang maganda or bad experience sa isang client is lagi ng ganon ang mga services nila. I personally don't believe masyado sa reviews thou ginagawa ko itong guide, kasi tingin ko we all have different taste in everything, Pwedeng masarap sa akin and hindi masarap sa iba or pwedeng maganda sa paningin ko ang hindi maganda sa iba. Sa tingin ko ganito lang yan, cheaper supplier(P125-P220) means good food, good supplies, but not high standard in service and equipments = kung hinde ka pasosyal ok na ito, at least mura ka na, san ka?! don ka sa practical. And kung pasosyal ka naman get high end supplier(P280-P700), at don ka sa mahal, ang tanong sa karamihan kung kaya nyong magbayad ng mahal, kung kaya why not?! go ahead divah?! Lolsss. Ang hubby ko nga mas may effect sa kanya kung may bad feedback ang mga high end caterers kasi lagi nyang sinasabi: "Ang mura understandable yan, kung hinde gaanong ka elegant at kung may konting palpak, kasi mura nga. pero ang high end don ka magreklamo kung may palpak kasi mahal ang binabayad mo." Hope this helps sa mga pagdedecide ng mga parties na gagawin ng ibang parents.

I had a food tasting with Merca's Food Services yesterday (may actual event).Was with my friend, she's looking for a cheaper catering service. They have a kiddie package worth 22k for 70adults and 30kids.

Food is okay napadami ang kain namin hehe. Ms. Loi the owner madaling kausap. Nalaman ko abot Merca sa kabilang forum at good feedback naman sila.

[mae_s]

sis vshe, pashare  naman ng menu mo with Merca and yung price per head. i might consider them if ever. thanks sis!

[stormy]

^yung quido sis nababasa ko sa wedding thread mura lang raw at masarap at ok raw kausap. Dito sa KPP sikat kasi ang verleo.

Kahapon, may potato and leak soup yung food sa passion cooks. Lahat sa menu masarap ngayon pa lang kasi ako nabigyan ng feedback. Yun panna cotta totoong masarap kasi sis ko d mahilig sa panna cotta pero nagustuhan nya

Target ko sana fish wraps pero may peppered fish with veggie side dish na kaya next time na lang ang fish wraps tapos hanap ng ok na ipartner na pasta dish


 

[marose17]

^ Masarap ang fish wraps ng Passion Cooks. 

[stormy]

Thanks in advance sa mag reply

[stormy]

^sis pwede kaya either quiche or chicken and ham crepe wag both?  Masasarap lahat ng handa mo sis parang gusto ko rin itry yang beef wrap naman. Sarap ng panna cotta sis kanina yan pa rin dessert ko after dinner try mo rin yun cream puff nila winner yan kahapon, blockbuster ako happy kasi daming leftover na panna cotta

[marose17]

@ystine, mas gusto ko ang quiche than the crepe.

Puwedeng beef kebab ang ipalit mo sa crepe.  Very filling na ang menu mo.  Masarap iyan for merienda cena.

Sis forward ko sayo yung email ng Merca.
What's your email add? 

[pompz]

sis Vshe pa email din  pompz17@yahoo.com TIA

[stormy]

Hindi pa naman siguro high end suppliers ang php280-700 price range.

Sabagay hindi lang sa taste ang subjective, pati siguro kung ano ang mura at mahal

Since taste ay subjective nga kaya tama, nasa budget na nagkakatalo

[ystine_07]

Sis marose, You think I should change menu pa? kase ayaw ni hubby na magpalit ng dish eh...

[marose17]

^ It's really up to you.   

The quiche kasi has bacon and mushroom, while the crepe has chicken and ham.  Medyo similar ang taste nila.  If your guests are meat lovers, go for it.  I prefer talaga the quiche kasi the crepe tends to lose its crispness after some time. 

I think lang mas balanced if one dish will be replaced by the fish wraps kasi fish ito and puro may meat ang nasa menu mo except for the pasta.

And yes, filling na ang food choices mo.

[ystine_07]

Hi sis marose,

My husband insisted not to change the menu sabi nya he is a meat lover daw and gusto nya daw yun hahahaha .. so i guess i have no choice but to stick on it... I just hope my guest would love it too .

we had verleo at my son's party last sunday. we had fish fillet with asparagus, birthday noodles, ox tongue with mushroom sauce and buco pandan.  the fish fillet with asparagus got the most raves. here's my feedback:


> flexible, they'll work with your budget
> affordable, they give discounts and freebies
> staff/servers are very, very nice, professional and well-trained
> generous servings
> for the drinks, they set up a drinks station and then they provided different kinds of softdrinks (coke, coke zero, sprite and royal). usually sa mga napupuntahan kong parties either coke and/or iced tea lang ang sine-serve tapos 1-2 glasses lang per guest. natuwa ako kasi i brought iced tea and juice that they served at the drinks station as well so lumabas na parang nagkaron kami ng open bar. nakita ko yung guests natuwang magpabalik-balik sa drinks station and masipag din yung waiters to ask guests if they wanted refills sa drinks nila.


> some not-so-nice linens with small holes and stains. they did their best to make everything presentable and actually wala namang nakapansin, ako lang yata because i was there while they were setting up and i inspected everything maigi
> some guests said the food was really good and pinag-agawan pa nga yung mga leftovers but my family (most important feedback for me) thought na okay lang yung food, nothing spectacular
