Anyone tried Bistro 109? Okay ba ang service, presentation and foods? Mura kasi and mukang masasarap yung foods

how much po lowest package ng bistro 109 and ano ano ang mga foods nila?

[ceejhei]

^ i emailed Queensland and they sent the package naman after a few days. Tapos nag email din ako sa Blue petals,
nakaka turn off lang yung nag reply, parang bastos. nawalan tuloy ako ng gana sakanila. Ang ayos ng email ko tapos ang reply lang sakin,
"what event?" Napaka informal. I am guessing if sa emails pa lang wala na silang courtesy i doubt it sa mismong event.
ganun po ba talaga? iba iba rate nila depende sa event?

My food gourmand friend is finally venturing into catering business. We've been bugging her for so many years to put up a food biz, they serve really really good food

Try nyo sisses, na excite ako planning my party. They do a bit of styling na rin for FREE! One of the owners is US trained stylist LOL. Amazed!

The best part ph300/head Lang yung cheapest package they have.

I normally wouldn't reco but this one too difficult to pass plus I told me friend ill help her spread the word:)

PM me if you want to see their packages

Hi mga sis i need help. My baby's first birthday is goin to be a pool party. I'm thinking of ihaw-ihaw party. That's what i told my caterer. Our menu is
Chicken bbq
Pork bbq or grilled liempo
Grilled tilapia
Mixed veggie
Ensaladang talong
Pansit bihon

Kiddie meal
Spag plus fried chicken

I need honest opinion mga sis.. Okay ba ang menu? Masasatisfy ko kaya ang guests sa gabgang klaseng menu? Ano maganda ibawas at idagdag dyan since 4 dishes lang kinuha kong package.

[forumera]

@cecil65 sis baka mag Blue Petals ako, nasa Betterliving lang kasi sila e, Verleo sana kaso ang layo nila, OR yung inoofer ng sis natin kasi with styling na daw e

[cecil65]

@sis forumera - ok sis...Happy Preps!

[stormy]

@sweetestcorn, sis ang sarap naman ng handa mo ano party theme mo why mo naisip ihaw-ihaw ang tema sa food?

Anyway, ok rin ang inihaw na bangus yun may kamatis sibuyas sa loob, grilled liempo (mas gusto ng adults ito pansin ko kaysa skewered pork bbq), ensaladang talong (sarap ha), atbp mo na napili. Pwede ka rin magdagdag ng inihaw na pusit

Pwede ka rin mag-add ng mangga at bagoong. Wala carried away ako sa theme mo.

Sis, OK na yang handa mo. If you're getting 4 dishes, I'd select yung grilled liempo, grilled tilapia (or bangus siguro), ensaladang talong tsaka pansit bihon.

[sweetestCORN]

Thank you mga sis! Pool party kasi. E parang di ko feel yung usual nya na niluluto like fish fillet, cordon bleu etc. yung pansit bihon and ensaladang talong, free na yun. So i have to select 4 dishes. Inihaw na tilapia, liempo, chicken and tahong sana. But i have to consider that mussels are seasonal so nagiisip ako ng kapalit. I'm thinking of mixed veggies nalang. Salamat mga sis nag aalangan kasi ako baka mabaduyan sila sa food.

[sistah!]

Alam mo sis, I had the same experience with Blue Petals. Sila kasi ang caterer ng friend ko sa isang party nya and ok naman ang food and serving. So I emailed them tapos ganyan din ang reply nya. Parang walang ka-gana gana. Tapos may mga questions ako na hindi nirereplyan so I called them pa sa office and looked for the AE who replied to my first email at hindi rin sya maayos kausap. Parang nung tinanong ko kung okay na ba na I-confirm ko yung date at saan ba ako pwede magbayad, aba sabi sa akin tatawagan na lang daw ako. She didn't call me pa rin. I followed up pa tapos pinapadeposit yung downpayment ko. When I asked to meet with her to discuss the setup and all (kahit wala na food tasting), ayaw ba naman. Small event lang daw kasi di naman sya nakikipag-meet sa small event. 70 pax lang kasi ang guests ko.

I ended up getting another caterer na lang.

[yang]

bad yan. ako nga before vs & f for 50 pax. may meet up. at foodtasting for 2. although 3 kami andun.

[ceejhei]

hi sistah! bad naman yan. alam mo sis, nireplyan ko siya, sabi ko "This is for a baptismal event. Is this really the way you respond to your clients?" ako pa ang malditahan niya
bruha siya, tapos nagreply "ay sorry mam, kasi akala ko na-copy ko yung reply ko sa email mo". Deadma na ako, hindi ko na siya sinagot.
Sana kahit small or big clients ang kausap nila dapat same level of customer service pa din ng ibigay nila.

I am now considering Queensland as a caterer. very presentable ang menu and packages nila.

[pinkpunk]

sis sweetestcorn, almost ganyan din yung handa ko nuon sa pool party ng daughter ko... jt's manukan yung nagcater sa event. tapos nagrequest ako ng mangga't bagoong sa friend ko. nagustuhan naman ng mga guests yung handa.
