If you’re in charge of catering for your next office event, conference, party, or any other occasion, you may look at traditional options such as pizza, chicken, or pasta. However, why not consider Asian food? It’s a very affordable option that has something for everyone, even those with dietary restrictions. Here are a few reasons why you might consider Asian cuisine for your next event.
The Variety of Food
Asian food is a very broad category of foods that includes salads, appetizers, soups, sides, pasta, chicken, shrimp, and more. You can purchase a variety of dishes and let your attendees create their own plates rather than limit them to one or two selections. Many caterers also have gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options.
Order What You Need
Asian restaurants may have family-sized servings of Asian food on the menu, even if they don’t offer catering. That’s because many meals in Asian countries are served family-style rather than each person ordering his or her own individual plate. Diners pass the larger bowls around the table and serve themselves what they want, just like they would at home.
These large options often come in a variety of sizes, so you can order enough food to feed five, ten, or up to thirty people. That means you can order enough teriyaki beef for your family or enough for the entire office very easily. Sides and appetizers also often come in family-size options.
It’s Different
While Asian food in Los Angeles is fairly prevalent, few people think of it as an option for catering. Having stir fry, spring rolls, or soba noodles can be a great way of making your next catered event stand out. It can also be a fun way to introduce your attendees, your office, or your extended family to something new.
