The food was so delicious. She was really good at understanding what flavours I really wanted and how to make the different foods I liked into dishes I would love. She was so creative with the different flavours playing together. I appreciated that I was able to tell her just what I liked flavour wise and she was able to make the dishes and come up with something that fit perfectly. I had no idea what to have as dishes and I wanted something other than the traditional steak or chicken. Jane was able to come up with something and it was great being able to trust her to do so. I only plan on getting married once hahaha but I would gladly have her cook for other occasions if I can. Would defiantly recommend her to other couples.

Highly Recommended!
Choosing Chau as our caterer was one of the best decisions we have ever made! The food was the talk of the party and our guests only made positive comments about the food. Not only did everything taste delicious, the presentation was also beautiful. Jane is full of creativity and good ideas, and not only did she help us customize our food options and menu, but also gave us great pointers with the whole wedding planning process. Jane and her team made an effort to look for us at our wedding, to deliver us our special plate, and even had us open up the Bao Bar before serving our guests - this was a very special touch for us! Everything we requested for was honoured, and the execution was flawless. Chau was an exceptional vendor to work with, and we highly recommended them for your special event!

Couldn't have been happier with Chau!
We got so many compliments on our food! Chau came up with a wonderful custom, all vegetarian menu for us that we just loved. Two food stations: a bao stand and a dumpling stand, plus a salad station and passed appetizers. Plus they staffed our bar with a great bartender who whipped up our custom cocktail menu expertly. It was nothing like any other wedding food we've ever had and it was all super delicious. Highly recommended.
