Asian buffet on location in Amsterdam – richly filled and fully arranged
An Asian buffet is a form of catering in which dishes from Asian cuisine – such as fried rice, wok dishes, rendang, spring rolls and atjar – are offered as a self-service buffet on location for groups in Amsterdam and the surrounding area.
In a nutshell: The Catering Companion provides Asian buffets on location in Amsterdam, Landsmeer, Purmerend and Zaandam for groups of 30 people or more. Meat from the artisan butcher, vegetables from the central market. The buffet is ready at the agreed time – you arrange nothing on the day itself.
You are organizing a staff party or family day and you want to serve your guests something they will really enjoy. No standard sandwiches, no cold buffet that looks tired after only ten minutes. An Asian buffet sets an immediate tone: colorful, fragrant, varied. The nasi is steaming, the rendang is gleaming and everyone knows before they even pick up a plate that it’s good.
But how do you organize something like this concretely at your location? And what else do you need to arrange yourself? Below you can read what an Asian buffet entails, what occasions it works for and how De Catering Compagnon provides it on location.
What’s on an Asian buffet?
An Asian buffet is all about heat, depth and variety. The base is always rice – white rice, nasi goreng or noodles, depending on the composition. Around that are several meat dishes: think rendang of beef that has simmered for hours in coconut and spices, or babi kecap for those who like a sweeter flavor.
In addition to meat, there are always vegetable dishes on the buffet. Atjar, a lightly sweetened vegetable salad, adds freshness alongside the richer flavors. Sambal stands apart – for those who like it spicier. Shrimp crackers and serundeng add crunch. It’s a table full of textures and flavors where everyone puts together their own plate.
The Catering Companion works with meat from the artisan butcher and vegetables from the central market. Fresh ingredients, prepared in their own kitchen. Vegetarian and vegan guests are included in the composition – not as an exception, but as a regular part of the buffet.
For what occasions is an Asian buffet suitable?
Wondering if an Asian buffet is right for your event? It works broadly. Staff parties and team days benefit from the informal atmosphere a communal buffet creates – people stand next to each other, grab a bite, talk. Family days, anniversaries and birthdays work just as well: the flavors are familiar enough to make everyone happy, but special enough to make it feel like a real treat.
Asian dishes are also accessible to a mixed audience. Guests who are normally picky will discover that nasi goreng is just delicious. And for those who already love Asian cuisine, a good Asian buffet is a treat. You don’t need a theme party to make this format work – it stands on its own.
Minimum group size is 30 people. The Catering Companion delivers on location in Amsterdam, Landsmeer, Purmerend and Zaandam. Want an overview of all buffet options? Then view the complete buffet offerings of De Catering Compagnon.

Heating equipment is included as standard to keep the dishes at temperature. Would you like an on-site chef? That’s possible upon request.

Asian buffet and the diversity of Amsterdam
Amsterdam is a city with a rich Asian culinary tradition. Indonesian flavors have been part of it for generations – from the rice table to the hot toko around the corner. That makes an Asian buffet in Amsterdam not an exotic choice, but a familiar one. Guests recognize the flavors, but appreciate that it’s professionally and freshly prepared.
For business events, this is extra true. Many Amsterdam companies have a diverse workforce where Asian cuisine evokes a sense of home for many of the guests. An Asian buffet is therefore not only delicious, but also inclusive.
