With no big-scale events and functions in the foreseeable future, the founder of Tim’s Fine Catering Service has created a canape box to serve at intimate dinners, virtual business functions or even festive parties
In the age of social distancing, nothing brings people together more than delicious food. Chef Tim Meijers of bespoke catering company Tim’s Fine Catering Services knows that too well, so he has crafted The Artisan Canapé Box which you can serve at any event—be it an intimate celebration, virtual business functions or even festive parties.
Presented in beautifully crafted black boxes, the classic collection comprises 12 hand-crafted canapes that showcase Meijers’ modern French cuisine laced with Japanese accents. These are, of course, made using quality and in-season ingredients and prepared in the chef’s exacting standards to ensure their freshness and quality. Even better, these pair well with an exquisite bottle of champagne or red wine.
Each of these creations is the perfect marriage of taste, texture and aesthetics. You will get to sample this in one of the chef’s most celebrated starters—the Boston lobster cannelloni. The chef only uses live Boston lobsters for their sweet and pristine flesh, which is balanced with the earthy wild mushroom duxelles cooked with shallots and garlic confit. Adding a touch of luxe to the overall dish is a generous topping of Baeri caviar.

Showcasing Meijers’ penchant for Asian flavours and mastery of French techniques is the chilled somen noodles with roasted salmon belly tataki seaweed salad. This is topped with jellified tomato bouillon, which is painstakingly cooked for 24 hours to enhance its sweet and tangy flavours, and garnished with ikura pearls for a welcome burst of ocean freshness.
The repertoire includes vegetarian options, too, including burrata cheese doused in a delectable rouille sauce and decorated with pesto-scented vine tomatoes and basil spherification, and bulgur salad seethed with truffle notes and stacked with fennel shavings, fresh mint and apple pearls.
When you order, you can customise the canapés based on your dietary preferences and catering requirements. It will also come with a printed menu that states the chef's recommendation on the sequences of canapés to eat. And in line with the company’s sustainability practices, these will come with biodegradable containers and cutlery.
The Artisan Canapé Box is available upon request. For enquiries and orders, please call 9800 6874 or email grace@timsfinecatering.com.
