Lunar 7th Month 2026 Singapore (13 Aug–10 Sep) Has Ended: 2027 Dates (2–31 Aug) and What Each Caterer Still Sells

Neo Group's flagship caterer was the most complete one-stop for the 2026 7th month, and its season is over: the 7th Lunar Month Menu took orders from 13 August to 10 September 2026 and is no longer on the order system at order.neogarden.com.sg, which now lists only its regular menus. WHAT YOU CAN ORDER NOW: for an ancestral prayer or a small family dinner, the year-round Mini Buffet C is $24.99/pax ($27.24 w/GST, 9 courses) from 10 pax, with Mini Buffet B at $21.99 (from 15 pax) and Mini Buffet A at $19.99 (from 20 pax), each delivered in microwavable containers with two self-heating packs. Its regular Singapore's Favourite Buffet is pitched at 30 guests and up, across 10 menus. That is dearer per head than the other small-order options in this guide, so Neo Garden's case is now the halal menu and the one-order range rather than the price. WHAT THE 2026 RANGE COST, as a guide for 2027: Lucky Sets (福运配套) of Three Treasure Seafood at $81.88 ($89.25 w/GST) and Five Treasure Seafood at $158.88 ($173.18 w/GST); Huat Fruit Towers from $88.88 to $238.88; buffets of Harmony at $16.88/pax (min 60), Abundance at $19.88 (min 30) and Prosperity at $22.88 (min 30); festive bentos at $11.50 a set (min 20 sets); and dry-ration prayer packages from $15.88 to $51.88 a set. The 2026 terms are worth budgeting for again: a $1/pax surcharge on the peak days (20, 21 and 27 August in 2026, the last being Zhong Yuan Jie), offering-set delivery only on a $350 spend across at least 4 items ($100 minimum for self-collection), $45 delivery, and orders finalised 3 working days ahead. The ngl.sg/7thMonth shortlink from the start of the 2026 season still returns a 404. Halal orders are prepared by Neo Garden Catering; non-halal by sister brand Liang Yuan. BEST FOR: a halal-friendly caterer that sells offerings, fruit towers and a buffet on one order, once the 2027 menu opens.

Part of the long-running Select Group, Select Catering had the cheapest 7th-month buffet in our 2026 guide, and its season page now reads "The menu is now closed for orders" (it covered event dates from 13 August to 10 September 2026). The good news is how little its regular menu costs by comparison. The year-round Asian Favourites Buffet (7+1 courses) is $14.80+/pax ($16.13 w/GST), just 30 cents above the $14.50+ Signature Saver A that led its 7th-month menu, followed by a Vegetarian Buffet at $15+ ($16.35 w/GST), Flavour Harmony at $16.80+, a Teochew Porridge Buffet at $18+ and Treasured Flavours at $18.80+, all from 30 pax with warmers set up. For smaller groups its mini buffets, now in self-heating boxes, start at $15.80+/pax ($17.22 w/GST) for Asian Favourites from 15 pax, with a vegetarian mini buffet at $18.50+. NEW THIS WEEK: FREE DELIVERY ON BUFFET ORDERS FOR EVENTS FROM 11 SEPTEMBER TO 31 OCTOBER 2026, on a minimum spend of $280 for mini buffets or $500 for full buffets. Order online and write "Redeem free delivery for mini buffet" (or full buffet) in the order notes; the fee is refunded after the event, which takes at least two weeks. Full-buffet delivery normally costs $70+ ($80+ for CBD postcodes), so it is a real saving, but a 30-pax Asian Favourites order comes to about $444 before GST, so you need a few more heads or a higher tier to reach $500. What went with the season: the prayer platters ($70+, $130+, $190+), the $88+ and $108+ fruit towers and the single roast items were on the 7th-month page only. BEST FOR: the lowest per-pax price on a 30-pax buffet all year, and free delivery until the end of October.

RichFood (RichFood Group) opened earliest in our 2026 guide, on 11 August, and its 7th Lunar Month menus run to 11 September 2026, the day of this update, so they are over for any practical purpose: its standard terms need written confirmation at least five working days before the event. For budgeting next year, the 2026 menus were Buffet Menu A at $18.90/pax ($20.60 w/GST) and Menu B at $21.90 ($23.87 w/GST), both from 30 pax, plus 7th Lunar Month Mix Platters of roast chicken, duck and pork (Platter A, $118) or steamed crab, roast duck and sea bass (Platter B, $228), the roast-meat-and-seafood combination families put on the altar. YEAR-ROUND, RichFood is the value pick for a big group and one of the few that goes down to 10: the Value Buffet (5 courses + 1 drink) is $12.90/pax ($14.06 w/GST) from 50 pax, the Basic Buffet $16.90 from 40, and the Petite Oriental Mini Buffet (7 courses) is $17.90/pax ($19.51 w/GST) from just 10 pax. Delivery is $40 ($43.60 w/GST) for mini buffets and bentos and $80 ($87.20 w/GST) for buffet set-ups, free from $1,000 before GST (except the CNY menu); food ready before 8.30am adds $60, and venues without lift access pay a $50 to $200 surcharge. BEST FOR: a 50-pax prayer dinner at the lowest per-head price here, or a 10-pax home spread at about $195 with GST.

The surprise of this re-check. FattyDaddyFattyMummy's four 7th Month menus are labelled "13 Aug to 11 Sep Only" and end on the day of this update, but its regular menus undercut them. The 7th-month Mini Buffet B for 10 pax cost $19.79/pax; the year-round Mini Buffet Set D, also from 10 pax, is $16.14/pax (listed down from $18.99), about $161 for ten. The regular mini buffets get cheaper as the group grows: Set C for 15 pax is $14.44, Set B for 20 pax $13.59 and Set A for 25 pax $12.74. For a bigger gathering, Regular Set Up Buffet A serves 50 pax at $14.39/pax (down from $15.99) with warmers and tables, against $17.99 for the 7th-month Set Up Buffet A at the same size. Mini buffets are drop-off only: cutlery included, no warmers or tables. Outside the festive season mini-buffet delivery is $30 before GST, and there is no delivery to Sentosa, hotels, shopping malls or Jurong Island. For reference, the 2026 7th-month menus ran Mini Buffet A $17.09/pax (20 pax), Mini Buffet B $19.79 (10), Set Up Buffet A $17.99 (50) and Set Up Buffet B $20.69 (30), after a 15% early bird that closed on 15 August. BEST FOR: the cheapest 10-pax spread in this guide, and a 20-pax spread under $14/pax.

A tingkat and mini-buffet specialist, JCatering never ran a separate 7th-month menu: the mini buffets we listed for home prayers are its standard ones, still on sale at the same prices after the season. There are two home-style Chinese packages priced on a sliding scale by headcount: the Classic Mini Buffet is $19.54/pax at 10 pax, $17.84 at 15 and $16.99 at 20, and the All-Time Favourite Mini Buffet is $22.94/pax at 10, $21.24 at 15 and $19.54 at 20. The per-pax rate drops as you add people, so if your family is close to the next tier, count again before you book. At exactly 10 pax the Classic comes to about $195, level with RichFood's Petite Oriental once GST is added and dearer than FattyDaddyFattyMummy's $16.14 Set D, but JCatering quotes its mini buffets with no GST added, so the headline is what you pay. It also sells a Quick Bento at $7.90 and an Executive Bento at $14.90 a set, and its tingkat runs a 5-day trial from $85. During the 7th month it asked for 5 to 7 working days' notice, and a date is held only once payment is received. Check jcatering.com.sg, WhatsApp 8995 5786 or email jcateringsg@gmail.com (office hours Mon–Fri, 8.30am–5.30pm). BEST FOR: a small home prayer with a price that does not grow at checkout.
