Hari Raya Catering in Singapore (2026)
Hosting an open house for Hari Raya 2026? Book halal catering early — rendang-and-lontong spreads, mini buffets and kueh platters from MUIS-certified and Muslim-owned caterers sell out for the first Raya weekends. Here's how to plan the spread, what it costs, and who to book.
Planning your Raya spread
- Guest count — mini buffets suit 10–30 guests; open houses with rolling guests need buffet lines with warmers.
- The menu — lontong, rendang, ayam masak merah, sambal goreng and achar are the anchors; add kueh platters and drinks.
- Timing — book 2–3 weeks ahead minimum; first-weekend slots go first. Confirm delivery windows — Raya-day traffic is real.
- Verification — check each caterer's halal label on its listing and confirm MUIS certification on HalalSG if required.
