Gourmetz: Retro-glam Y2K-themed Christmas sets with mini burrito pockets & hummus platter
Fancy a little ‘Back to the Future’ moment for your upcoming festive celebration — something quirky, a teeny weeny nostalgic, and most importantly, fun? If traditional catering sets bore you, then check out the Y2K-inspired Crave Cases from Gourmetz instead, which pay a cheeky homage to the early 2000s.
I mean, would you just look at the old-school yet cool, lavender-hued tiered boxes? They have a shiny, almost iridescent finish that exudes a whimsical vibe, which feels like unboxing a retro game I just purchased. With the adorable illustrations surrounding all 4 sides, I’m betting the little ones at home would be obsessed, too!
Gourmetz is Halal-certified, so your Muslim friends are not left out of the festivities. The crave cases focus on fuss-free convenience without jeopardising the food’s flavour and presentation. The way that it’s designed also makes it convenient to take it anywhere, cleverly segmenting each dish that makes assembling and packing up a breeze. The best part? It’s visually stunning enough to be worthy of your Instagram feed, too!
Since they are recognised as a Healthier Choice caterer that’s endorsed under the Healthier Dining Programme by the Health Promotion Board, you needn’t feel guilty about going back for second helpings.

The D.I.Y. Mini Burrito Pockets features 4 types of cutesy-sized burritos that you can pop them in your mouth in one go. The Egg Mayo features a bonus quail egg that’s double the indulgence. The Tuna is creamy and delicious with crunchy cucumber, while the Spicy Minced Chicken brings a little heat to the table. The Salsa is light and tangy, perfect as an appetiser.
The Velvet Glow Purple Velouté features a luscious cabbage soup in a unique purple hue, flavoured with brown butter.
For mains, pasta and rice lovers will have a tough time settling for just one. The Glow-Up Linguine Alla Pastora features light hints of garlic coming from the infused olive oil, served with chicken bacon strips and mushrooms. Alternatively, you can also choose the aromatic Blue Pea Dream Rice. It features butterfly pea jasmine rice crowned with festive garnishes like black and golden raisins along with cashew nuts.
The Classic Roast Chicken Remix features tender whole roasted chicken that comes paired with a fiery peppercorn jus with just the right kick of spice. Choose to drizzle the sauce generously or simply dunk the chicken in for maximum enjoyment.
For something light and vibrant, the Golden Hour Glazed Salmon boasts yummy baked salmon slathered with a citrus butter sauce. It comes garnished with mini orange segments for double the zestiness.
For something hearty that bursts with umami, the Holiday Harmony Seafood Stew is a comforting and delectable stew filled with sea treasures like prawns, mussels, squid, and crabstick. Pair it with the cheesy garlic toast that makes an excellent accompaniment.
For dessert, the Jelly Pop Fruit Wrap looks just like a stylish, transparent dumpling. The chewy skin encases a colourful medley of fruits like cherries, kiwi, and apricot which have a great textural contrast. It wasn’t only visually appealing but also tasted great.
The Y2K Swiss Roll Medley is a fun-loving treat of colourful sponge rolls that’s bound to turn heads. Decked in vibrant pink, green, turquoise and yellow, each fluffy sponge is filled with velvety cream.
Jolly Edition Crave Case
The Jolly Edition Crave Case (S$216.91, U.P. S$256.15) is also befitting for 8 to 10 pax, featuring a Family Festive Turkey, Party Pop Drumettes, Laksa Luxe Prawn, Blue Pea Dream Rice, and the Y2K Swiss Roll Medley.
Now, the main centrepiece, the Family Festive Turkey is paired with a special holiday stuffing. It has an additional golden-brown breaded layer around it, which reminded me of my favourite Japanese curry bun. The stuffing was flavourful, smooth and filled with chestnut bits.
Complement the tender and scrumptious turkey with the spiced peppercorn jus that hits all the right notes.
One of the highlights was the Party Pop Drumettes. Each yummy morsel was nicely breaded and fried to a lovely golden-brown. Take a bite and experience the juicy chicken with some light, fragrant spices infused together.
Great for spice lovers, the Laksa Luxe Prawn is conveniently deshelled so that you can skip the tediousness of peeling. The prawns are sweet and enveloped in robust laksa spices that jolted my senses.
Who wouldn’t say no to more glamour and indulgence to your Christmas feast? Explore the range of Y2K Feast Upgrade Ala Carte options from Gourmetz that ranges from Rosemary Chicken Shepherd’s Pie to Sliced Honey Glazed Ham.
We tried the former which was an absolute treat. Filled with tantalising minced chicken flavoured with rosemary and veggies, the shepherd’s pie was topped with velvety and buttery mashed potatoes with a charred cheesy crust. It’s definitely worth getting it!
