A Cozy Culinary Retreat
The moment I stepped into T&H Cathering, I was enveloped by an atmosphere of warmth and comfort that instantly made me feel at home. The air-conditioned restaurant's design strikes that perfect balance between rustic charm and modern elegance, with ambient lighting that creates an intimate dining experience regardless of whether you're visiting for a romantic dinner or a lively family gathering.
The seating arrangement offers both comfort and convenience, while the attentive staff ensures that your dining journey is smooth from start to finish. What particularly caught my attention was how the open kitchen concept allows diners to witness the mesmerizing dance of flames as master chefs transform simple ingredients into culinary masterpieces.
A Symphony of Flavors: The Gourmet Barbecue Selection
The true star of T&H Cathering is undoubtedly their extensive menu of grilled delights. Each dish emerges from the grill bearing the distinctive kiss of smoke and fire that only traditional grilling can impart.
The Magnificent Meat Selection
The tender and juicy lamb barbecue is nothing short of extraordinary. Marinated in a "secret" blend of spices that penetrates deep into the meat, each piece emerges from the grill with a magnificent crust that gives way to succulent, perfectly cooked meat within. The balance of savory notes with subtle hints of aromatic herbs creates a flavor profile that lingers pleasantly long after the last bite.
Not to be outdone, the pork barbecue showcases the chef's understanding of this versatile meat. Carefully selected cuts are subjected to a meticulous preparation process that results in a harmonious marriage of lean meat and flavorful fat, each complementing the other to create a texture and taste that's simply divine.

The chicken barbecue demonstrates that simplicity, when executed with expertise, can yield remarkable results. The poultry is brined to ensure moisture retention before being seasoned and grilled to golden-brown perfection. Each piece offers a delightful contrast between the crispy, caramelized exterior and the juicy, tender meat within.
Unique Culinary Creations
T&H Catering also distinguishes itself by offering a range of classic Chinese specialities that bring both depth and variety to the menu. Moving beyond typical barbecue fare, they introduce time-honoured favourites that are rarely found at similar events, creating a memorable experience for guests.
One standout is the Guotie (锅贴), commonly known as pan-fried dumplings or "potstickers". These dumplings have a crispy golden base and a juicy, well-seasoned filling. The contrast between the crunchy bottom and tender upper wrapper offers a delightful eating experience that appeals to both adults and children.
Lastly, there are Shuijiao (水饺), the traditional boiled dumplings with a choice of meat or vegetable fillings. Soft and comforting, these dumplings are a staple in Chinese households and evoke a sense of home-cooked warmth. With these authentic dishes, T&H Catering ensures there is something for everyone—whether it’s the familiarity of comfort food or the excitement of enjoying classic Chinese street food made with care.
A Family Feast to Remember
During my recent visit with my family, we embarked on a culinary adventure that exceeded all expectations. The excitement was palpable as dish after dish arrived at our table, each more tantalizing than the last.
My children, typically selective eaters, eagerly devoured the barbecued pork, which shows just how much everyone enjoys it. My wife couldn't get enough of the lamb, repeatedly commenting on its perfect balance of tenderness and flavor. As for myself, I found the Taiwanese sausages to be an unexpected highlight – its smoky complexity pairing beautifully with the various meat options.
What truly elevated our dining experience was how each dish seemed to complement the others, creating a symphony of flavors that was both harmonious and exciting. The careful consideration given to texture, taste, and presentation was evident in every item we sampled.
By meal's end, our unanimous verdict was clear: T&H Cathering had delivered one of the most memorable family dining experiences we'd had in years. The smiles on everyone's faces and the reluctance to leave spoke volumes about the quality of both the food and the overall experience.
