Why PichaEats for office Christmas catering?
Four reasons corporate HR teams in KL return to PichaEats year after year for Christmas:
Halal-sourced throughout — a non-negotiable for multi-faith Malaysian offices. Not every Christmas caterer in KL offers halal, so this alone narrows the field considerably. Your Muslim colleagues can join the meal without concerns.
Scales from 5 to 1,200 pax under one supplier — whether it’s an intimate department lunch, a mid-sized team party, or a company-wide celebration, we have them all covered.
Full-service delivery — on-site setup, buffet arrangement, live station attendants, and clearing included. Your Christmas party doesn’t become your admin team’s logistics nightmare.
CSR and ESG impact built in — every order supports chef families who have made Malaysia their home. Impact summaries ready for your corporate CSR and sustainability reporting. Your Christmas party doubles as a quiet CSR win.
PichaEats’ Christmas buffet menu
PichaEats’ signature Christmas offering is a bespoke build-your-own menu starting from RM40 per pax. Every guest selects their own 6 items plus 1 drink, meaning everyone eats something they actually want rather than politely picking at an unfamiliar dish.
What’s included at RM40 per pax (6 items + 1 drink):
- Carbs — pick 1 — Butter Rice, Aglio Olio, Spaghetti Marinara. Upgrades available: Cajun Chicken Pasta (+RM3), Arrabbiata Penne Pasta (+RM13).

Optional buffet add-ons

- Deep Fried Calamari (+RM3.90)

- Fried Fish Fillet with Tartar (+RM13.40)

Live stations — turn your office Christmas lunch into an event
