Different Types Of Food Tastings
Many people who have had a professionally catered party would say that the favourite part of planning their event was the food tasting. Food is the most important part of any celebration. However, before selecting the Asian caterers who will be preparing the food, most clients wish to taste the food to make sure it is exactly what they want served at their party.
Below are some ways how food tastings are commonly held:
- Free tastings: Some Asian caterers allow clients to taste their food for free, at a time of their choosing. Prospective clients may also be taken on a tour of the kitchen facilities, to check hygiene, storage and preparation style.
- Paid tastings: A few Asian catering companies charge customers a small fee for tasting their food. This fee is often refunded or adjusted in the bill, if the customer selects the caterer to arrange their party.
- Party tastings: Other Asian caterers may ask a prospective client to visit another party they are catering, where the client can taste their food, as well as check out the décor and other arrangements provided by the caterer.
- Tasting day: Some companies fix a certain day for food tastings at their office. If the Asian catering company also provides furniture, dinnerware, centrepieces and table linen for parties; they may also display samples of different table setups.
- Post-contract tastings: Some caterers allow you to taste their food only after you sign a contract with them. The food tasting only enables you to adjust the taste of different dishes you select, according to your liking.
A food tasting offers prospective clients the chance to give their Asian catering company honest feedback about specific dishes, so that the caterer can modify the dish for their party, according to their preferences. For example, reduce spiciness or increase sauce. They also help you decide which dishes to serve and which ones not to serve, depending on how each dish was prepared and presented. At this stage, you can also ask your caterers if they can prepare food in accordance with certain religious requirements.
