We have been engaging Chilliapi for our Corporate Caterings. Good range of food selection and taste aside, for me it is knowing that the team in Chilliapi will deliver my events successfully.

We have been engaging Chilliapi for our Corporate Caterings. Good range of food selection and taste aside, for me it is knowing that the team in Chilliapi will deliver my events successfully. Special shout-out to Ani who arranges great selection and  to delivery crew Cao Gang, who stepped up his role to ensure timely delivery of food. Kudos to the wonderful Teams behind Chilliapi!  My experience with Cao Gang has been exceptional. A delivery was mixed up  due to my mistake and Cao Gang, stepped in quickly by sorting out the details and  then promptly made his way to the site where the event would be held.  I am deeply grateful of his professionalism - he is committed and reliable towards his work. He is indeed a valuable asset to Chilliapi! Working with Chilliapi gives me peace of mind! Thank you!

It was a simple refreshment with noodle with fried stripped egg, chicken wing, carrot cake with yam filling, egg tarts, water kueh with yam and éclair.

I enjoyed the noodle as I could see the food that I was eating. The carrot cake with yam was also good as it was not oily. The egg tarts was rich with egg filling. It was as good as the Marcau egg tarts. The water kuey with yam was exceptionally different as it had filling with yam and mushroom. The éclair was also chilling and not melting. The only item which I did not like was the chicken wing as the wing was too skinny and had no meat.

I attended an event and the host served guests with Canepes. The food is unique. I had smoked duck, cheese sandwich, chicken sandwich, muchi (black seasame and peanut), soft cake and egg tarts. The canepes are delicious, especially the salmond pie It is filled with salmond. The unpleasant one is the peanut muchi as it was hard and dry. Of course, the lime juice is refreshing. Before the food is served, the waitress made a effort to cover up the food.

The must eat item in this dish is the nut. The filling in nuts come from the nut, which is mashed and put back in. It has a salty and woody taste.

Company's CNY Lunch

This was the first time our office was ordering halal lunch buffet from Chilli Api. Lunch was scheduled at noon but shortly after 11am the caterer had arrived with the food and proceeded to set up the buffet line. Cheerful, professional and speedy service! Food was ordered from the local/Malay menu and their CNY menu. Their signature red kebaya motif table skirting brightened up our spartan conference room immediately.

Food was ordered from the local/Malay menu and their CNY menu. Their signature red kebaya motif table skirting brightened up our spartan conference room immediately. My favourite items were the kueh pie tee, raw fish salad (yusheng), prawn roll (ngoh hiang), chicken curry, herbal chicken, sauteed tiger prawns (big ones!), sautéed vegetables with ginkgo & macadamia nuts and the sweet longan soup. The yusheng came with a generous portion of thickly sliced fresh salmon, and was tastier than the versions served by other more established caterers like Select and Neo. Thumbs up.

We had an extended family gathering to celebrate grandpa's bday that day, catering food from Chili Api, well-known for their peranakan food. The tables were beautifully decorated with batik cloth. There was a variety of food from beef rendang to petai prawns, fish, satay and mee siam (didn't manage to snap a picture before we begun eating).

The gravy was not really tasty and was a little too diluted. Their lemon juice was very chilled and refreshing! We enjoyed the dinner.

We celebrated bosses day at office for our boss! Ordered from this traditional peranakan halal caterer.

Ordered their nyonya cuisine mini buffet as this is the only option suitable for our small number of pax. Good for 10-12pax @S$198.00. I'm quite surprised with their service as they deliver the food in warmer bag! most of other caterers only bring the food in carton boxes. This is the first time i saw a warmer bag. Good service indeed!

Nyonya fried rice is quite fragrant and not soggy. It was the first to be finished!

I like the nyonya chap chye with black mushroom as the gravvy is quite tasty and not to salty. Prawns cooked with tomato is ok. Prawns are fresh and crunchy. Chicken rendang is acceptable. Chicken meat cooked just nice but taste wise not as strong as i wish to. BBQ Sotong with homemade sambal is quite fresh too!

My favourite would be the : D.I.Y Kueh Pai Ti with Condiments! Kueh Pai Ti was very crispy and combined with the condiments it's just perfect!

All in all i will definitely recommend this caterer to others who love nyonya food! Thumbs up.

Chilli Api is a caterer that specializes in nonya and malay food. I was surprise when i came across their website at first because i didn't even think such a caterer existed.

I ordered from them for a small-scale company party. Some of the things i ordered were laksa, kuih pie tee, mee siam, chendol, croissants with salmon, assorted dim sum trio, chicken shepherd's pie and golden yam nest.

Let me start off with this. Because it was a company party, it would only have been professional for them to deliver the food on time, or at most, no longer than 10 minutes later. But instead, the guy came about 45 mins late, and he was sweating like crazy as he was displaying the food on the table. I was extremely unappetizing and disgusting.

Seeing him struggle with tray after tray of food was also very disturbing. He was taking on the role of the driver and delivery man. So his job was indeed very difficult due to the fact that he had to park his van and carry one tray at a time to the office.

Thankfully, the food saved them. The food was very good. Everything tasted as though there was heart and soul put into preparation and cooking. But keep in mind that the stuff they have are rather pricey to me.

So unless you have high tolerance for bad service and high prices, don't ever use them for events like this. But if you are completely fine with it, the food is pretty good - i would say go for it!
