If you sit separately without a table for 9 people, then it means that the cost increases, and with it the food decreases, reducing the sincerity not to mention the money spent.

First of all, the dishes, a table 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 fried, 1 fruit, 1 pasta. If a table of 18 people suggests 16 or more courses is best. Due to dietary habits I'll rank you according to our side of the taste.

And in accordance with your budget, the lowest cost materials arranged for you.

Cold dishes: ***4 dishes, spicy and sour: (cold mix of Turk's root noodles, black fungus, tripe strips) salty and fresh: (cold mix of celery, mung bean sprouts) sweet: (cucumber in dipping sauce, sweet and sour pork ribs, kimchi) other: if the budget is sufficient (can be used for grilled chicken or roasted duck) the above with their own, you have to have a sour dish, to do the pre-dinner appetizers.

Hot dishes: ***4-5 home-cooked dishes 2 spicy, 3 common flavors, 3 meat and 2 vegetables in order to delicious rice-based, too many dishes I do not give examples.

Main dish: ***2-3 practice too much also do not give examples, just say the material. Shrimp, crab, scallops, quail to home cooked seafood.

Soup: *** 2, remember 1 meat and 1 vegetarian. Stewed chicken, duck, pork ribs, the other one can be green vegetables and tofu, or silver ear soup.

Stir-fry: *** 1, must be pure vegetables, light flavor. Personally, I think stir-frying wild vegetables is the best.

The rest of the fruit pasta I will not say much very good control.

I roughly estimate that the cost of ingredients for a table should be between 350-550 (if you insist on picking expensive to buy I can not estimate). Seasonings cost about 100-150 but there are leftovers that can be used multiple times at your discretion.
