Buffet package or mini buffet: which one fits?
The choice comes down to how much you want delivered ready to serve.
- Pick a buffet package if you want the table side handled. Both buffet packages list buffet trays, tables with skirting, disposable wares, delivery and setting up. See Buffet Package 1 for the full list. Package 2 adds a hot drink, two kinds of Malay kueh and a hot dessert.
- Pick a mini buffet if you have a pantry, a table and someone to lay the food out. The page lists trays or thermo jars, delivery or free self-collection, and no set-up. See Mini Buffet Package 1. Ask what else you need before you accept the quote.
- Under 30 guests? Ask about briyani packets or bento sets. For vegetarian guests, the page lists a vegetarian bento.
The main dishes are mutton masala, fish and chicken. The chicken comes as masala, tandoori or masak merah, depending on the package. Read more about two of the dishes in our guides to tandoori chicken and dalcha.
Is Saffrons' catering kitchen MUIS-certified?
MUIS publishes a public register of premises that hold a halal certificate. Searching "Saffrons" on the MUIS Halal Establishments register shows five active certificates (checked October 2026): three restaurants (Wisma Geylang Serai, Swan Lake and Tampines), the Tampines North kitchen, and one under the MUIS catering-company scheme, certificate FPGN21050001543, for the catering kitchen at Kaki Bukit.
The catering-company certificate is the one that matters for event food. It covers the kitchen that cooks a catering order. A restaurant certificate covers the restaurant. Check the scheme and the address on the register, and check again close to your event date.
Saffrons also describes its business as Muslim-owned. That line is on its catering packages page.

What should you know about food safety for a buffet?
The Singapore Food Agency has simple guidance for ordering catered meals. These are the points that matter most for a buffet:
- Four hours at room temperature, at most. SFA says no food should stay at room temperature for more than 4 hours from the time it was cooked to the time it is eaten. Packing, transport and set-up all count.
- Delivery at most one hour before the meal. SFA asks you to request delivery no earlier than that.
- A time stamp. Each packed meal or buffet table should carry a time stamp with a "consume by" time. This has been mandatory since 15 February 2012.
- Leftovers. SFA advises discarding leftovers, not keeping them to eat later.
Source: SFA guidelines for ordering catered meals (SFA, updated 31 May 2019).
In practice, give your caterer a meal time, not just a date. If the event runs long, ask whether two deliveries are better than one.
Where does Saffrons catering come from?
Saffrons' founder, Mdm Beevi, started out catering weddings before she opened the first restaurant, in Tampines. The wedding packages page says so. That restaurant opened in the mid-1990s. For a wedding, start there. For an office lunch, a family event or a community gathering, start with the buffet formats above. Our guide to office catering with Gold Class Briyani covers the office case.
