I booked Chef Michael on Saturday night - though Hometainment - for a dinner to celebrate my wife's birthday. It was SUPERB! He arrived on time, was well organised and charming and delivered the most fabulous meal. He also bought his wife Esra to waitress along side him, who was equally charming and did a fantastic job of looking after everyone. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.
5 Stars!
Chef Mickael was awesome. Unbelievable food - both taste and presentation, great creativity and super friendly on top of that. Will definitely book him again!
Marco was excellent in providing a fantastic experience for us. He was very flexible with booking and was great at providing a tailored experience for us.

Very happy about Chef Harri I booked for my birthday party. The canapes were delicious (I chose the Italian option) and they really brought a special touch to the day. Highly recommended
Fabulous food, couldn't fault anything that was put on the table, it was absolutely delicious. A couple of things that could've improved the experience rather than a criticism: I would've preferred a bowl rather than a plate for the starters of dahl and cauliflower, which was difficult to eat on a plate.
Chef Jojo's Cantonese dinner was an authentic and heartwarming experience. A balanced feast of contrasting flavors and textures, perfect for sharing with loved ones. A culinary journey not to be missed!
I had Miss Mimi cater a Chinese New Year party for 80 people at my home. She did everything from plan the menu, organise the serving dishes to keep on the theme, prep, cook and left my kitchen spotless. And the food was out of this world. She staggered it so it was all hot and fresh and kept a constant mix of dishes she sent out. She did so much research to come up with a wide range of substantial hors d’oeuvres that ranged from vegetarian to quite filling meat dishes. She even went as far as to get the right color orchids to decorate the dishes as well. Nothing was left to chance and she was meticulous about her process. I can’t wait to use her again!
