Peng Yew was an absolute delight to work with. He catered our wedding at the Garden House in Look Park (May '14) and he helped make it look so beautiful, it was phenomenal. He decorated the interior and exterior with colorful saris and provided other valuable input to help us customize our wedding to our liking. I would describe his food as a modern taste of Asian flavors.
The food was so delicious, I wish I had leftovers to bring home. The night of the wedding, Peng Yew made the catering portion of the wedding worry-free, and we really appreciated it. You're being pulled in every direction during the wedding night, but not having to worry about one more thing was a major relief. I would highly recommend Peng Yew to anyone looking for a catering service. He can customize your event to your liking.

Pengyew Catering was our caterer for our event this past weekend at the Look Park Garden House. There are lots of good reasons to go with Pengyew, and we experienced all of them. For our wedding celebration / first birthday celebration for our daughter, we had a terrific meal served buffet style. For hors d'oeuvres the wait staff served light, tasty items such as a smoked trout spread on cucumber rounds, perfect for a summer afternoon luncheon.
We had a buffet that included noodles, eight treasures duck, salmon with Asian pesto (this was inhaled by the crowd and I couldn't get seconds.) with spicy green beans. It was probably the classiest buffet ever. Pengyew was able to please palates of all ranges, from folks who usually eat Asian style to folks who don't have regular access to great Asian food.
The venue was decorated with saris, as Pengyew is willing to help out with such accent items. Having them hang in the entrance to our party really added a lot to the atmosphere. Service was top notch from the wait staff, as it was from Pengyew the chef himself. I can't wait to have another event so I can have him cater it. My sister-in-law, among other family members, declared the food perfect that day, and to have the food be perfect helps make a big event even better.
