The Must Haves to Elevate Your Grand Opening Event

The Must Haves to Elevate Your Grand Opening Event | Hey there, family and friends and everyone in between (we have to be inclusive nowadays right). 

I just recently attended a grand opening event to a friend of mine. She just recently launched her boutique, just in time for Raya celebration. I was there with her, lending her a hand in planning the grand opening. 

So here are some points that I learnt throughout the planning process. 

If you're gearing up for a grand opening event, you know that food is a crucial part of the celebration, especially in Malaysia. Whether it's a new business venture, a store opening, or a special occasion, the right finger foods can elevate the atmosphere and leave your guests raving. 

So, here are some of the must-haves:

Kuih: A must-have at any Malaysian gathering, these colorful and flavorful delicacies come in various types like Onde-onde, Kuih Lapis, Kuih Seri-Muka, and Kuih Ketayap. They're visually appealing and a definite crowd-pleaser.

Chicken Satay Skewers: These tender, grilled chicken skewers marinated in a sweet and savory sauce are a classic choice. Pair them with the traditional peanut sauce for an irresistible combination. This will certainly become the crowd favorite. Make sure you have lots of satay too - they tend to sell out pretty quick. 

Sausages: Bite-sized and versatile, cocktail sausages are easy to prepare and always a hit. Serve them plain or with an assortment of dipping sauces for a timeless crowd-pleaser. 

Spring Rolls: Add flair to your spread with these crunchy, savory snacks filled with vegetables and occasionally meat, wrapped in wheat flour and deep-fried to perfection. My favorite!

Curry Puff: For a spicy kick, these savory pastries filled with a flavorful curry mixture are a beloved Malaysian favorite that adds a delightful twist to your finger food selection. And if it has boiled egg inside, I am game!

Banana Bread: A classic and convenient choice, banana bread is a universally loved snack that's simple, easy, and enjoyed by all.

Assorted Pastries: Elevate your event with an assortment of buns, tarts, and pastries like fruit and cheese tarts paired with danishes. These add an elegant touch when displayed on a tiered stand.

A grand flower bouquet: You should have one grand center-piece among all these food and on tables too. Pick the right flower and the right size bouquet, and it will immediately brighten up the atmosphere!

By choosing these finger foods for your grand opening celebration, you're guaranteed to have a clean sweep with no leftovers. Your guests will extend their thanks, and with a lovely bouquet of grand opening flowers, you'll be all set for a successful event. Cheers to new beginnings and delicious celebrations!

To my dear friend, all the best with your new venture! Jangan lupa daku kalau dah kaya tau!
