Halal Caterer for Your Raya Open House

Alhamdulillah, it has been a tremendous joy to complete Ramadhan and now we are celebrating Syawal. Syawal is celebrated for successfully completed Ramadhan with fasting and others religious obligations for the Ramadhan month. Muslim all over the world celebrated the 1st of Syawal (a month in the muslim calendar) with a special prayer in the morning. It will be followed by a big feast for those who can afford. Known as Eid to the Arab continents and Hari Raya Aidilfitri or Lebaran to the Asian.
The Asian people, particularly Muslim in Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei will celebrate Eid or Hari Raya Aidilfitri for a month long. They will do visiting and invite family, relative and friends to their home which is commonly know as 'Open House' for the Malays.
Normally, during "Raya Open House' the host will prepare several foods for the guest to feast on. This can be very tiring if they have a big number of guest that they invite. To ease the burden for those of you who yet plan to do the 'Raya Open House' here is some ideas for caterer that you can engage to make your 'Open House' a less stressful and memorable event.

For a start, if you wish to have the traditional dishes for Hari Raya like lontong, rendang and so forth, here are some suggestion of Halal caterers that served this halal dishes.

Hajah Maimunah Restaurant

I had tried all of the above restaurants/caterers. Rumah Makan Minang has the best rendang. It is best that you contact them and see if their price suit to your budget. Each restaurant had their specialties that will in any other way meet your requirement or standard.

If you wish to have a different menu for your Raya Open House, then perhaps you can try other Halal Caterers to help you with the dishes to serve to your guest. Here are some suggestion to help to save your time:
For Beryani feast :
Yusoff Power Briyani
Ahbak Briyani (opposite Hajah Maimunah Restaurant)
House of Briyani
Chai Chee Seafood Restaurant
Bedok Seafood Restaurant (newly open at blk 531 Bedok North St 3)
Bilal Seafood Restaurant
The list can go on and on ..... but I just dont want to confuse you more. Important is to serve your guest with Halal makan from Halal caterers.
Before its too late, wish all my blog reader Eid Mubarak or Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir Bathin
