Chilli Manis: From Zero to Singapore's 4.8-Star Caterer in 7 Years

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 2 July 2025 - In just seven years, Chilli Manis has grown from humble beginnings to become one of Singapore's best-rated food caterers. Their swift ascent—marked by industry accolades and glowing customer reviews—is powered by a unique blend of Peranakan heritage, unshakable resilience, and a simple yet profound mantra: "Love Your Guests, Serve the Best.

Chilli Manis: From Zero to Singapore

A Dream Built on Grit, Faith & Peranakan Heart

Launched in 2018 as a niche Peranakan catering concept, Chilli Manis was a bold experiment within its investor group. Managing Director Benjamin Seow, inspired by his mother, Madam Serene Hoh's decades of Nyonya culinary wisdom, became the driving force behind the brand's vision.

"We started from absolute zero," Benjamin shares. "Everything—from menus to props—was built in-house. With no clients or reputation, morale was low. Every order felt like a miracle." After a grueling first year, signs of progress began to show—only for COVID-19 to bring everything to a halt. "Our growing momentum vanished overnight," Benjamin recalls. "But we saw it as a chance to focus on what truly mattered."

With events on pause, the team turned inward. Every member—from chefs to delivery staff—underwent training in what would become their non-negotiable standard: True Peranakan hospitality goes beyond food—it's about warmth, care, and treating every guest like family. "When the industry rebounded, we weren't just ready with recipes—we were ready with heart," Benjamin adds.

What Makes Us ‘Best’ - The People Who Believe in Us

What defines the best food caterer? For some, it's recognition. For others, it's the memories created around a shared meal. At Chilli Manis, it's both—and more.

In 2024, Chilli Manis was honoured as Singapore's Most Popular Promising Brand at the Singapore Prestige Brand Awards (SPBA)—a milestone that reflects their deep respect for tradition, keen eye for detail, and unwavering commitment to innovation.

They are also Singapore's highest-rated caterer on Google, with a 4.8-star rating from over 1,300 reviews. Customers often praise the brand's authentic Peranakan flavours, elegant presentation, and a hospitality that feels like home.

"We began with a modest kitchen and big dreams," Benjamin reflects. "Today, we're living proof that when you pour heart into every dish and care into every event, success follows naturally. But our greatest reward isn't the awards—it's seeing first-time customers become regulars, and regulars become like family."
