Why DIY food works for a small family gathering

At a family gathering, the food is the activity. Kids love filling their own popiah, grandparents remember it from family celebrations, and everyone ends up around the same table. Everything arrives packed separately, so nothing goes soggy, and there's no cooking: just open the containers and set the table.

Family gathering bundles by headcount

Hosting 15 or more? The All-in Jumbo for 15 has everything, and our party food delivery guide covers spreads up to 60 guests.

Mix your own family menu

Prefer to pick dishes yourself? Start with a DIY Popiah Set as the centrepiece, then add one or two of these:

• For the kids: the Mee Soto Set, a fragrant chicken soup that isn't spicy, or muah chee to snack on.
• Easy finger food: a Finger Food Platter Mini Box for about 7 people, from $47.20: chicken drummets with vegetable spring rolls or fishballs, plus sambal mayo and tomato sauce. A hit with kids.
• For the grandparents: soft orh nee and Kueh Pie Tee, the flavours they grew up with.
• For the adults: laksa, mee siam or smoked duck wraps.
• Something fresh: rojak with our vegetarian rojak sauce.

Ideas for every kind of family gathering

• Birthdays at home: a DIY popiah station keeps the party busy, a finger food mini box keeps the kids happy, and muah chee doubles as dessert.
• Sunday family lunch: the Mini Feast or Huat Home Party feeds the household with no cooking.
• Visiting grandparents: the Golden Teochew Feast, with orh nee to end.
• Festive gatherings: Christmas, New Year and Chinese New Year dates book up early. See our Christmas party food ideas.
• A potluck at a relative's place: see our last-minute potluck ideas.

Small family gathering FAQ

What food is good for a small family gathering at home?

Food that everyone can share and nobody has to cook: a DIY popiah set, Kueh Pie Tee, laksa or mee soto, and a simple dessert like muah chee or orh nee. It suits kids and grandparents alike and turns the meal into an activity.

How much food do I need for 8 people?

The Huat Home Party for 8 is a complete spread: about 15 popiah rolls, 30 Kueh Pie Tee, laksa and muah chee. If you're building your own, a Regular DIY Popiah Set (15 rolls) plus one other dish and a dessert is plenty.

Is there a family meal delivery for 5 people?

Yes. The Mini Feast for 5 at $93 includes DIY popiah, laksa, muah chee and Kueh Pie Tee shells.

Do I need to cook or reheat anything?

No cooking is needed. Popiah, Kueh Pie Tee and muah chee are served as they are. Laksa and noodle gravies arrive hot; keep them warm in a pot over low heat if you're not eating straight away.

Is the food halal?

Our popiah, Kueh Pie Tee, laksa, satay, orh nee and muah chee are prepared in our MUIS Halal-certified central kitchen. The Mee Siam and Mee Soto Sets are not yet certified.
