If nine people sit alone without a table, it means that the cost increases, the dishes decrease, and the sincerity is reduced, not to mention the money spent.
Let's start with the dishes. A banquet is generally divided into 13- 16 dishes. Among them, 3-4 cold dishes, 3-5 hot dishes, 2 main dishes, 2 soups, 1 green stir-fried dishes, 1 fruit, 1 pasta. If 18 people have a table, it is suggested that 16 is the best. Because of my eating habits, I will arrange it for you according to our tastes.
And according to your budget, I will arrange the lowest cost materials for you.
Cold dishes: totally 4 dishes, spicy and sour: (cold fern root powder, black fungus, belly strips) salty and fresh: (cold celery, mung bean sprouts) sweet and fresh: (cucumber dipping sauce, sweet and sour pork ribs, pickles) Others: If the budget is sufficient (roast chicken or roast duck), you must have sauerkraut as an appetizer before meals.
Hot dishes: 4-5 home-cooked dishes, 2 spicy dishes, 3 ordinary dishes, 3 meat dishes and 2 vegetables, mainly delicious. I won't give examples, because there are too many dishes.
Main course: there are 2-3 courses in total, and there are too many examples, just talking about materials. Shrimp, crab, scallop and wild oats are the main home-cooked dishes.
T: There are two dishes, remember 1 meat 1 vegetarian. Stewed chicken, duck, ribs, and another dish can be vegetable tofu or tremella soup.
Cooking: a total of 1 dish, which must be pure and light in taste. Personally, fried wild vegetables are the best.
I won't say much about the rest of the fruit pasta. Very easy to control.
I roughly estimated that the cost of a table of ingredients should be between 350 and 550 (I can't estimate it if you insist on buying expensive ones). The cost of seasoning is about 100- 150, but it can be used several times.
