THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW

Chilli Api is a good pick when you want a Singaporean spread with a clear Peranakan identity instead of another generic international buffet. It has the practical formats corporate teams need - bentos, seminars, breakfast plus lunch packages and mini buffets - while keeping a stronger food personality than many large caterers. The trade-off is that Peranakan flavours may not suit every palate, especially spice-sensitive groups, so menu selection matters. For local flavour at scale, it is very credible.

WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG

Chilli Api stands out for Peranakan specialisation, public and private sector experience, and serious large-order capability. It brings a distinct cuisine focus to corporate catering.
