I’ve been asked to do the catering for Chinese New Year for a friend. I’m looking for ideas.
We are you a afternoon tea for the neighbours, sausage rolls, savoury etc.

However for dinner im told they only want little bits at a time, I’ve got paua fritters as a starter, lamb French cutlets, chicken kebabs. All done on the bbq. I don’t think they have a whole meal like we would. They graze during the evening Any ideas looking at about 16 people for dinner. Cheers

Surely asking what they'd like would be a good idea?

I'm having a delightful time talking cuisines and recipes with my new Chinese neighbour (who literally fell off her chair when I said I'd been practicing making both baked and snowskin mooncakes, ready for the Lunar New Year - Saturday - and the Autumn festival in September), and broadened my knowledge of the basic tastes of Chinese people. Sweet, salt, sour and spicy and the basics, and there's a lot of ideas that might help in this link (which I made as the search url was very long....):
