Our Milestones

1950

Elsie’s Kitchen history can be traced back to the 1950s when the Ang Family began managing the F&B outlets in the British Royal Air Force camps at Seletar, Tengah, and Changi.

1970

The business came to a halt when the British army withdrew from Singapore. In order to continue providing quality food and creating memorable experiences for its clientele, Elsie’s Kitchen subsequently evolved from a simple cafeteria and canteen to a major contributor in the catering sector in Singapore.

2013

In order to continue to meet the market’s demands, Elsie’s Kitchen acquired Continental Delight Catering Services in 2013. The operations were shifted to 21 Second Chin Bee Road, boasting a 57,000 sq ft facilities with 3 levels of warehouse storage.

2014

The Organisation went through an extensive re-branding exercise. The list of F&B establishments under its brand portfolio were subsequently grouped under a holding company called Hesed & Emet Holdings Pte Ltd.

At the same time, with the support from Spring Singapore and various government initiatives, semi-automated equipment were installed in our central kitchen. The introduction of these automation machineries have increased our efficiency and productivity by at least 30%.
