Asian food is one of the most popular types of ethnic food in the U.S., which makes it a good choice for inexpensively catering a party at a home or office. Some restaurants that offer Asian Take Out in Los Angeles even have special catering menus that allow people to purchase different size party pans of various dishes rather than having to get multiple orders of dishes from the regular menu. Not all dishes are necessarily sold this way, but it offers an easier way to deal with ordering party food.
Variety of Food
The larger the number of guests, the easier it is to order a big variety of different foods. Try to choose something for everyone. This often means at least a chicken dish, a beef or pork dish and a vegetarian dish. If ordering spicy dishes, make sure to choose some less spicy options as well. Likewise, with so many people trying to eat healthy these days, it’s a good idea to opt for at least a few dishes that are a bit on the healthier side. Salads, edamame, vegetable spring rolls, brown rice and steamed vegetables are all nutritious options for sides. Fried dishes, including fried rice, and noodle dishes tend to be higher in fat and calories and among the less healthy choices, while steamed dishes and those heavy on the vegetables tend to be healthier options for main dishes.
Amount of Food
The restaurant can advise people on how many servings are contained in a pan of a particular size, making it easier to figure out which size would be best. It’s probably better to order larger pans of dishes expected to be more popular and smaller pans of those that may not be as popular. Those worried about ordering too much food may want to get some spare takeout containers to have on hand before the party. That way, if there’s a lot of extra food, the guests can take a little bit of some of their favorite dishes home to enjoy, as leftovers are sometimes the best part of Asian Take Out in Los Angeles.
