About Us
Who are we
Where culinary excellence meets genuine hospitality, JT33 F&B Group stands as one of Malaysia’s respected names in catering and food service. We believe that food is more than a meal. It is an experience that brings people together, strengthens connections, and creates memories that stay long after the event ends. Every dish we present carries the dedication of our award winning chefs and the pride of our entire team.
At JT33, we approach every event with sincere passion. We prepare each menu with fresh ingredients, refined techniques, and honest attention to flavour. From traditional Malaysian favourites to international creations, our dishes reflect both the diversity and the richness of our culinary culture. Whether we are serving a grand wedding banquet, a corporate gala, a family celebration, or an exclusive private dining session, we aim to deliver a standard of quality that guests can truly feel and appreciate.
Our story began with a clear aspiration to elevate the catering industry in Malaysia. We wanted to combine top tier culinary skills with dependable service and strong operational management. Over the years, this vision has guided our growth and shaped the way we serve our clients. Today, we cater to organisations, event organisers, government functions, and communities across Malaysia and the region.
As a fully HALAL certified provider under JAKIM, we uphold strong hygiene and food safety practices at every stage. Our central kitchen and operational systems follow strict quality control, ensuring that every meal is prepared with consistency, cleanliness, and care. This gives our clients complete confidence, whether the event is for a few guests or several thousand.
Our journey continues as we expand our capabilities and strengthen our expertise. JT33 remains committed to innovation, continuous improvement, and building long term relationships with our clients. We take pride in serving with warmth, sincerity, and respect, reflecting the true spirit of Malaysian hospitality.

Leadership Message from Chef James Tan Teng Huat
For me, food has always been more than a skill or a profession. It is a responsibility to serve others with sincerity, respect and excellence. My journey in the culinary world began more than thirty eight years ago, and throughout this time I have had the privilege of working with prestigious hotels, international kitchens and a diverse range of food cultures. Every experience shaped my belief that great food must come from the heart, supported by strong discipline and genuine passion.
Over the years, I have been honoured with recognitions such as the Excellent Service Award from the Singapore Hotel Association and the ASEAN Chinese Outstanding Award in 2023. These acknowledgements remind me of the importance of consistency and commitment. Since 2008, I have also been a proud member of the Chaine des Rotisseurs, an international association that celebrates culinary excellence. I continue to uphold high standards in every aspect of our operations, strengthened by my certification in food hygiene from the Ministry of the Environment in Singapore.
JT33 F&B Group was built on a simple yet meaningful vision. I wanted to create a catering company that combines strong culinary mastery with dependable, honest and well managed service. A company that does not only cook for events, but contributes to the memories people carry with them. Whether we are serving a private family celebration, a corporate function or a large scale banquet, my team and I approach every event with the same spirit of dedication. The talent and professionalism of our chefs, service team and operational crew are what make JT33 a trusted name across Malaysia.
Today, we continue to grow with the support of our clients, partners and team members. My commitment remains the same from the very beginning. To serve food that is honest, flavourful and crafted with care. To operate with integrity and reliability. And to ensure every guest who experiences JT33 feels the warmth and hospitality that Malaysia is known for.
Thank you for being part of our journey. I look forward to serving you with excellence for many years to come.
