Thank you for the wonderful service
I am writing in to thank Stamford Catering Services for a wonderful service rendered to us at LG Architects & Associates on 20 Dec 2008. I like to give special thanks to the delivery personnel who came to set up the buffet table. A few of us were moving a big and heavy glass table out of the office to the common area outside and your delivery personnel saw us. He quickly came by to help us move the table too. I was very impressed by his initiatives and help.
Towards the end of the event, he came by to pack up the buffet table. Seeing that we were still chatting inside the office and that there were still some left over food, he offered to help us pack the remaining food into boxes so that we could return to the gathering.
I like to express my heartfelt thanks to this delivery personnel who was so kind, considerate and helpful. To me, he has gone the extra mile for us and helped to portray an excellent and friendly image of Stamford Catering Services. Through his gestures, I am reminded of your organisation's statement "We Cater, We Care".
I will sure recommend Stamford Catering Services to my family and friends whenever they require catering service.
Thank you once again and Merry Christmas.

How to plan the perfect party
Hosting a party can be fun and exciting, but if you've never been the party host before, you may be unsure of how to proceed in planning your fabulous party. Follow these tips to plan and throw the perfect party!
Step 1
Decide on a party theme which can add an fun element to your party. Some party themes include and are not limited to: 20s, 60s, 70s, 80s, James Bond, Graduation, Christmas, New Years, Birthday, Black Tie, Cocktail, Mardi Gras, Cowboys, Costume, Vegas, Murder Mystery...etc. Once you decide your theme, make your invitations and send them out 3-4 weeks in advance. Consider sending out Evites to save on paper and postage. That way you can also send people updates and reminders as the party date arrives.
Step 2
Set the mood of your party with lights from Pretty Glow Set the MOOD. Lighting is very important in setting the mood of your party. Big white candles are elegant for any theme. Do your lights have dimmers? Then dim the lights! If not, use soft colored bulbs with candles. DO you want it to feel cool or warm? Use blue bulbs for cool, or soft pink bulbs for a warmer feel.
Step 3
Serve the right FOOD. When hosting a party, it's best to go with bite-size everything. It's less messy and awkward. Some ideas to try: Mini Cupcakes Mini Quiches Mini Burgers Mini Sandwiches Cherry Tomatoes Mini Tarts Serve whatever you want, but keep it small. Also keep in mind that people LOVE comfort food. Have a buffet of mini foods, appetizers, yummy desserts and a fun bar with specialty drinks. Cheese platters always seem to do well and don't forget to include some fresh fruit! However, when deciding what food to serve, take into consideration you party theme, as you may have the opportunity to get creative and serve food that goes with the party theme.
Step 4
Be COOL. You are the hostess, so even if you are stressed out or frazzled, play it cool. Make introductions as guests arrive to keep people mingling and having a good time. Take a deep breath, envision yourself being the perfect party host and then go for it.
Step 5
Look HOT. If you feel overdressed for the party...perfect! You should look the best! Looking and dressing your best will make you FEEL your best. Dress fancy and you will shine as host or hostess. Plan a trip to the salon before your party to freshen up your look.
Step 6
Scent. If the mood lighting candles you are using do not have a scent, find something that gives off the scent you want for your party. Just remember to stay away from sicky sweet smelling candles & potpourris.
Step 7
Find a bold bouquet to spruce up the place. One on the buffet table would be great as well as any other side tables or coffee tables.
Step 8
Music. Keep music going constantly. No one enjoys awkward silence at a party. Play a variety of music including all time classics from the Jackson Five, Jimmy Buffet, Journey, Bob Marley, Guns N' roses, Aerosmith, Madonna, to Jay-Z, Gnarls Barkley, Brittney Spears, Kanye West, Snoop Dogg and whatever else you like in-between. Make a playlist on your computer or Ipod, hook it up to the stereo system and let it go all night!
Step 9
Entertainment. Keep a few games on hand for people to play if conversation gets dull or the party is lagging. There's nothing like games and competition to help loosen people up and feel more comfortable.

Stamford Catering Christmas Promotion
Planning a Christmas? Try Stamford Catering's Christmas menu, 4 menus to choose from, price range from $15.80 - $38.80. We had a food tasting session last month, the food was drool-worthy... My recommendations -
Crispy Shrimp Finger with Thai Mayo - Cause I'm a prawn loving person, don't really fancy mayo (hate the thick egg-gy taste) but in this case the mayo portion is on the lighter side; more like thai creamy chilli sauce.
Citrus Orange Cream baked Ocean Catch - Crispy fried fish with creamy orange sauce, it's tangy and sweet but not too creamy.
Winter Salad with Trio Berry - Had some salad to balance the fried oily stuff I ate. Out of all the salads this had the best presentation. I prefer fruits over vegetables so if you're like me this is definitely the dish to go for. With strawberry, raspberry and blueberry and other tropical fruits this was my favorite salad out of the 4 menus.
Slow-Roasted Leg of Lamb coated with Yellow Mustard and Province Herbs - Not really a fan of lamb but my colleague made me try this and it turned out to be the best dish. The meat was really soft, the combination of the mustard and herbs was surprisingly good, no lamb-y smell at all. There's just something about the sauce that has that "go back for seconds" (or thirds) quality about it.
Right now we're having a "Celebrate Christmas with Your Family" discount. 10% off for all household Christmas Orders from 25/12-1/1. Go to http://www.stamfordcs.com.sg/ for more details.
