As an event location, our team sees the most fantastic events of all shapes and sizes come and go. A successful event starts with a good idea, a concept with which we create an unforgettable experience together with a complete team of (external) partners. Recently, we were guests at one of SugarFactory's preferred suppliers in catering; Hete Peper, who knows exactly how things work…
Creative catering makes an impression
Of course, we never turn down a tasty bitterbal or canapé. But if you really want to impress and create a total experience with your event, you have to think outside the box. Hete Peper is a caterer that goes the extra mile and thinks in terms of creative possibilities. Last week, we were invited to a tasting event that challenged not only our taste buds, but also ourselves! The creative team behind Hete Peper chose the popular Netflix series "Squid Game" as their starting point. Anyone who has seen the series knows that the game element is central, and they effortlessly translated that into a food concept, in which we had to "fight" for our food.
Game concept makes you hungry
We were welcomed with 'Annemaria Koekoek', where we had to cross to the other side unseen to get our drinks. Once safely seated, we were treated to beautiful vegetarian sushi – spectacularly presented in a bowl with smoking dry ice and garnished with golden sesame seeds.
Tug-of-war was also on the menu, with the losing team 'having' to help in the kitchen to prepare a delicious appetizer (consisting of a crostini with lobster and various surprising flavors). Just like in the series, a nerve-wracking game of 'ppopgi pricking' was a must. (Ppogi is Korean candy with a circle, triangle, star, or umbrella shape pressed into it. The goal is to prick the shape out with a needle without breaking or damaging it).
We were able to recover during the shared dining dinner with platters full of dry-aged Côte de Boeuf, grilled green asparagus, potatoes, and cherry tomatoes. Finally, we were treated to a beautiful dessert in which the stairs so characteristic of the series dominated our plates, only to be brutally destroyed by our cutlery.
Event with a bite
We were able to experience and taste first-hand how a creative idea can be developed into a beautiful result that stimulates all the senses. A well-thought-out concept in which all facets of an event are used to create the right experience. Do you have a cool idea for your next event? We are happy to help you; our industrial location is perfect for a wide variety of events. Just like our preferred suppliers, such as Hete Peper, we also have a dose of enthusiasm and passion to make every event unique.
Thank you, Hete Peper, for your hospitality!
