What About Food on Wedding Day....

Banyak dah I dengar orang cakap when it comes to wedding the most important thing is food. Ye lah dah kate jamuan makan untuk hari besar pengantin kan. So it is very very important to choose a good caterer. One of my friend said, orang tak kan ingat baju pengantin cantik ke tak or mekap pengantin cantik ke tak but yang orang paling akan ingat is kalau food tak cukup or food tak sedap. Paling menakutkan is kalau food tak cukup la kan. Seingat I mase I pergi buat food testing, my caterer siap boleh cakap lagi die ranking ke berape dlm soal lauk pauk tak cukup mase kenduri kahwin. But I’m glad she knew about that and I’m sure she’ll always wants to improve her service. Ye lah … mane ada orang nak bubuh pasir kat periuk nasi sendiri kan ..mase tu jugak I sempat tengok dier call pekerja dia tanye makanan cukup ke tak sbb during that day die pun ade masak untuk kenduri kahwin jugak..

I awal-awal lagi dah serahkan bab-bab makan to my parents. My mom awal-awal dah bitau nak hire caterer instead of masak sendiri during my Big day. She said she only wants to pakai cantik-cantik and waiting for the guest. Ok la mama … your wish being granted. Then, my parent handover the responsibility to choose the caterer to my Mak Lang. Mak Lang I pun dah biase bab masak-masak untuk kenduri ni plus dia pun dah lama duduk di Klang so selalu la jugak risik-risik mane caterer yang best kan. Oh ya!…Mak Lang I jugak yang masak kan mase I tunang dulu …cooking die mmg superb!! Hehe..tetibe dah rase risau kalau tak dapat rase makanan yg dihidang mase kenduri saye nanti …boleh tak ?? ;)

Since my nikah and resepsi will be on a different day so we need to think how we gonna serve the food for that 2 days. My mom and Mak Lang had agreed to cook on my nikah day and hire caterer for my resepsi.

So who is my chosen caterer ??

It would be Saleha Catering from Kg. Delek, Klang . It just nearby my Mak Lang’s and grandmother’s house. Mak Lang cakap caterer ni memang famous ngan cooking dia kat area Klang ni. However, we decided to have food testing first before making any decision plus I need to know what they have to offer. Then, I make appointment with her.

We agreed to meet on Saturday and lucky me that day die ade kenduri kahwin which she’s in charge on the catering so we can have our food testing. Caterer ni baik, siap jemput kami lagi untuk sampai rumah dia. Agaknya dia risau takut I tak jumpa jalan sebab I beritahu dia I orang KL. Hehe. Tapi kira ok la…at least tak la sesat kan. Kami disambut baik. Sesampai je kami kat umah dia, terus dia hidang makanan yang bermacam-macam. Sangat best okay!! Semua food yang dia masak untuk kenduri kahwin hari tu dia hidang untuk kami. I just couldn’t stop eating sampai kene sound ngan my mom. Hehe. Sambil makan sambil borak. Rupa-rupanya, Mak Lang and Mama satu sekolah dengan dia. Manakan tidak, dah kata duduk daerah yang sama cuma kampung je lain-lain kan. Selesai makan, we discuss with her about food for the wedding. Banyak gila soalan duk tanya sampai la ke issue if makanan tak cukup. Before we leave, we reserved her as our caterer for the Big day. I masih ingat lagi pesan dia. First, make sure betul-betul jumlah tetamu mase hari tu nanti sebab memang ada issue orang order amount lain and jemput amount lain. So there it shows how important guest list is. Second, please make sure how many kenduri kahwin around your area, sebab kalau banyak kenduri time tu orang yang datang pun sure dah tak makan banyak so nanti membazir. So kene pandai bajet. So my caterer is booked after a few discussions within my parents and Mak Lang. But the menu we haven’t decided yet sebab lama lagi kan.

Besides catering for resepsi, my family also think about additional food as a backup plan takut-takut food tak cukup kan. They have booked satay on my nikah day and still survey on those kuih-kuih or kerepek yang boleh letak atas meja and people can munch while waiting.
