How Much Food to Order for a Party: A Per-Person Guide for Singapore
Ordering too little food for a party is stressful, and ordering too much is wasteful. This guide gives simple per-person amounts for soup, popiah and sides, plus the easiest Souperstar order for every group size, from a dinner for two to an office party of 100.
Quick guide: food per person
| Item | Light meal or buffet with other dishes | Main meal |
|---|---|---|
| Soup | 200 ml (1 cup) | 270 ml (1 medium bowl) |
| Popiah | 1 roll | 2 to 3 rolls |
| Stew with rice | Half a portion | 1 portion |
| Bread or focaccia | 1 piece | 1 to 2 pieces |
Round up by about 10% for events with teenagers or big eaters, and if the party runs over a mealtime.
What to order for your group size
2 to 3 people
The Souper Duo Meal has two medium soups, a stew, two popiah, three-grain rice and focaccia. Choose your own flavours for each item.
4 to 5 people
The Souper Family Feast steps up to three medium soups, two stews, four popiah, rice and bread. A good fit for a family dinner or a small gathering at home.
8 people
The Office Lunch Pack has eight medium soups and a box of eight popiah rolls, so everyone gets a bowl and a roll in the flavours you pick.
Around 15 people
The Party Pack pairs a 3-litre Jumbo Soup (about 15 cups) with fifteen popiah rolls, so everyone gets a cup of soup and a roll. For a full meal for 15, add a box of 12 popiah or a second jumbo soup.
30 people or more
Switch to bulk ordering and mix any flavours:
- Bulk Soup - 30 medium bowls or more.
- Bulk Popiah - 30 rolls or more.
Both get 3% off from 50 and 5% off from 100, applied automatically. Please order at least 24 hours ahead.
Example for an office party of 50 (main meal): 50 medium soups and 100 popiah rolls. At 100 rolls, the popiah qualifies for 5% off.
Tips for planning party food
- Offer two or three soup flavours. A creamy mushroom, a tomato and one seafood or spicy option covers most tastes. See our soup guide.
- Plan for dietary needs. We have meat-free soups and a vegetarian Traditional Popiah. Order a few no-chilli rolls for children.
- Time your delivery. Choose a slot that lands 30 to 60 minutes before guests eat.
- Keep popiah whole until serving. Slice rolls just before serving so the skin stays soft.
How to order
- Browse our party packs and bundles, or go straight to the bulk order pages for 30 or more.
- Choose delivery or self collection, then pick your date and time slot.
- Order by 3pm for next-day delivery (islandwide, flat $16), or by 8pm for next-day self collection. Bulk orders need at least 24 hours.
