Testimonials

Thank you Aroma Lily Team for your excellent service!

Hoc, Peou, and their team came to our backyard in Melbourne and put on a feast for our 100 wedding guests. Hoc is incredibly knowledgeable and Peou and her team’s food is second to none. Everything came out hot and scrumptious. They were very flexible with our menu selection (with many guests having dietary requirements) and warm and relaxed in their approach. We highly recommend this wonderful team.

A HUGE thank you for doing such a great job on Saturday. We were truly blessed with the weather, the guests we had, but everyone raved about how good the food was. We definitely passed on the Aroma Lily name.

Aroma Lily catered for local emergency services staff working Christmas Day so they could enjoy a meal whilst away from loved ones. The food was exceptional, as was the service, ready for pick up Christmas Eve afternoon with a smile despite clearly being busy with lots of other orders. Would highly recommend.

Hoc and Peou made a delightful mixed grazing box for my lovely neighbour’s birthday yesterday and she absolutely loved it. The contents were very generous and a moorish mini chocolate mud cake was nestled in the middle of the box. Hoc and Peou were very accommodating to my requests and they were professional from execution to delivery. What a wonderful catering team. Highly recommended!

Thank You Peou & Hoc. The Healing Academy Australia Is so appreciative of you taking care of us with catering for our Retreat in Maitripa this weekend.
