Menu Ideas

The following dishes from chinese cooking work well for this combination:

• har gow — No significant ingredient restrictions for this dietary profile.
• char siu — Naturally compatible with no dietary restriction requirements.

Champagne, fine wine by course. For no dietary restriction guests, verify all drinks are compatible — particularly wines (some contain dairy-based fining agents) and cocktails with cream liqueurs.

Quantity Guide

For a anniversary of 2–10 people: plan $40–$120 per head for food, which should comfortably cover a two-course meal or a substantial buffet. For exact piece counts, use the Portion Calculator.

Make-Ahead Notes

Chinese food for a anniversary responds well to advance preparation. I would schedule two cooking sessions: one 2–3 days before the event for any braises, sauces, or baked elements; one the morning of the event for final seasoning, garnishes, and anything that needs a fresh component.
