5 Main Course Choices for Bridal Shower and Birthday Dinner

Choosing a main course for a group celebration can be harder than it looks.

Everyone may have a different preference.

Someone wants chicken.

Someone prefers fish.

Another guest wants something lighter.

Someone else may simply want a familiar restaurant-style dish.

That is why having several clear choices can make a Bridal Shower menu or Birthday Dinner menu easier to plan.

At Vayana Ubud Grill & Bar, both the Bridal Shower Package and Birthday Dinner Package include five main course choices. Guests can choose one main course from:

• Chicken Parmigiana

• Grilled Tuna

• Chicken Cordon Bleu

• Ayam Bakar Taliwang

• Vayana Garden Special

The two packages are priced at IDR 125,000++ per person, with selected beverage and appetizer choices included as part of the package. The Bridal Shower Package also includes a complimentary dessert, while the Birthday Dinner Package includes complimentary Nasi Tumpeng.

So which main course fits your celebration?

Here is a closer look at all five options.

1. Chicken Parmigiana

If you want a Western-style main course with several elements on the plate, Chicken Parmigiana is one of the choices to consider.

The dish features breaded chicken breast with Miami sauce, sliced pineapple, chicken sausage, melted mozzarella, fries, and garden salad. It is also listed as a best seller in Vayana's menu.

The build gives you several different details in one main course.

The breaded chicken provides the main centre.

Miami sauce adds another layer.

Sliced pineapple brings a different element to the chicken and cheese combination.

Chicken sausage adds another protein component.

Then melted mozzarella completes the main part of the dish.

Fries and garden salad finish the plate.

For a birthday dinner or bridal gathering, this can be an easy choice when guests want a familiar Western-style chicken dish with several components rather than a simple chicken-and-side combination.

If your preference is breaded chicken, melted cheese, sauce, and fries, Chicken Parmigiana gives you a clear direction.

2. Grilled Tuna

The second option takes the menu in a different direction.

Grilled Tuna combines grilled tuna fillet with seasoned turmeric paste, sayur urap, rice, and sambal matah.

This makes it a particularly different choice from Chicken Parmigiana.

Instead of a breaded chicken dish with fries, you get grilled fish with rice and Indonesian-style accompaniments.

The tuna becomes the centre of the plate.

The turmeric paste adds seasoning to the grilled fish.

Rice provides the main base.

Sayur urap adds the vegetable component.

Then sambal matah gives the plate another distinct Indonesian element.

For a celebration where guests have different food preferences, having a fish option can make the package menu feel more flexible.

It is also useful for someone who wants to avoid the heavier structure of a breaded chicken or cheese-based main course.

If your order starts with grilled fish, rice, vegetables, and sambal matah, Grilled Tuna is the natural choice from the five.

3. Chicken Cordon Bleu

For another Western-style option, there is Chicken Cordon Bleu.

Vayana describes it as chicken breast rolls filled with vegetables and mozzarella cheese, served with wedges and coleslaw.

The main difference from Chicken Parmigiana is in the way the chicken is built.

Chicken Parmigiana uses breaded chicken breast with sauce, pineapple, sausage, mozzarella, fries, and salad.

Cordon Bleu takes the filling inside the chicken.

You get vegetables and mozzarella within the chicken breast roll.

Then wedges and coleslaw complete the plate.

That gives the dish a more defined centre.

If you like the idea of chicken with a mozzarella and vegetable filling, this is the option to look at.

It also gives the celebration menu another Western-style choice without repeating the same plate profile as Chicken Parmigiana.

For guests choosing from a package, that difference can make it easier to find a main course that actually matches their personal preference.

4. Ayam Bakar Taliwang

If you want the package to include a more recognisable Indonesian flavour profile, Ayam Bakar Taliwang is another option.

The dish features grilled chicken thighs with sweet and spicy sauce, with a choice of French fries, wedges, or rice. It is also served with prawn crackers and fresh vegetables.

The main character here is the grilled chicken.

Then comes the sweet and spicy sauce.

The choice of side also gives guests some flexibility.

You can choose:

French fries

Wedges

or

Rice

The plate also includes prawn crackers and fresh vegetables.

That makes Ayam Bakar Taliwang a useful choice for guests who want something with a stronger Indonesian direction while still having the structure of a complete main course.

For a group celebration, it also gives the menu more variety.

One guest can choose Chicken Parmigiana.

Another can choose Grilled Tuna.

Someone else can go for Ayam Bakar Taliwang.

The package does not force everyone to have the same style of food.

5. Vayana Garden Special

The fifth main course choice is Vayana Garden Special.

This option gives the package a vegetarian direction.

Vayana's menu describes Vayana Garden as a fresh mixed lettuce salad with red bean, carrot, sweet corn, cucumber, tomato, avocado, onion, black olive, green olive, boiled egg, and lemon mustard dressing. It is listed as vegetarian.

There is a lot of variety within this one plate.

Fresh mixed lettuce forms the base.

Then you have red bean, carrot, sweet corn, cucumber, tomato, avocado, onion, olives, and boiled egg.

The lemon mustard dressing brings the ingredients together.

For a Bridal Shower or Birthday Dinner with guests who have different dietary preferences, having a vegetarian main course option is useful.

It means the package menu can accommodate more than just meat and fish preferences.

And visually, the ingredients also give the plate a completely different appearance from the other four choices.

Five Main Courses, Five Different Directions

Looking at the five choices together makes the package easier to understand.

Chicken Parmigiana

Breaded chicken breast with Miami sauce, pineapple, chicken sausage, melted mozzarella, fries, and garden salad.

Choose this if you want: a layered Western-style chicken plate.

Grilled Tuna

Grilled tuna with turmeric paste, sayur urap, rice, and sambal matah.

Choose this if you want: grilled fish with an Indonesian-style side combination.

Chicken Cordon Bleu

Chicken breast roll filled with vegetables and mozzarella, with wedges and coleslaw.

Choose this if you want: a filled chicken main course with cheese and vegetables.

Ayam Bakar Taliwang

Grilled chicken thighs with sweet and spicy sauce, your choice of fries, wedges, or rice, plus prawn crackers and fresh vegetables.

Choose this if you want: grilled chicken with a stronger Indonesian flavour profile.

Vayana Garden Special

Fresh mixed lettuce with vegetables, beans, avocado, olives, boiled egg, and lemon mustard dressing.

Choose this if you want: a vegetarian main course with multiple fresh ingredients.

That is the useful part of having five choices.

The menu does not need to convince everyone to order the same thing.

Each guest can choose according to what they actually want to eat.

What Else Comes with the Package?

The main course is only one part of the celebration package.

Both the Bridal Shower Package and Birthday Dinner Package also include a beverage choice and an appetizer choice.

Beverage — Choose One

Guests can choose from:

• Pineapple Juice

• Mango Juice

• Watermelon Juice

• Lychee Delight

• Green Booster

• Ice Lychee Tea

This gives the group a mix of juice, mocktail, and iced tea options without requiring everyone to order the same beverage.

Appetizer — Choose One

The package appetizer choices are:

• Savory Gyoza

• Vegetable Samosa

• Spicy Hokkien Dumpling Soup

So the basic package structure is easy to understand:

Choose one beverage.

Choose one appetizer.

Choose one main course.

Then the package-specific celebration benefit completes the experience.

Bridal Shower Package

The Bridal Shower Package is designed for an intimate bridal gathering with selected menu choices, beverage selection, dining setup, and personalized service assistance.

It is priced at IDR 125,000++ per person and includes a complimentary dessert as its special benefit.

The setup includes comfortable indoor and outdoor seating, an intimate dining arrangement, and service assistance.

For the food selection, guests can choose one beverage, one appetizer, and one of the five main courses.

That makes the package easy to picture before making a reservation.

You are not simply booking a table.

You already have a structure for the meal.

Birthday Dinner Package

The Birthday Dinner Package is also IDR 125,000++ per person.

The package includes selected food and drinks, a reserved dining table, simple birthday table setup, personalized birthday message, and service assistance during the celebration. Its special benefit is a complimentary Nasi Tumpeng.

The food choices follow the same structure:

One beverage.

One appetizer.

One main course.

That means the five main course options are also useful when planning a birthday dinner.

You can think about the menu before the event rather than deciding everything at the last minute.

Which Main Course Would You Choose?

The easiest way to decide is to start with the type of meal you want.

If you want breaded chicken, mozzarella, sauce, and fries, look at Chicken Parmigiana.

If you prefer grilled fish, rice, sayur urap, and sambal matah, choose Grilled Tuna.

If you like chicken filled with vegetables and mozzarella, Chicken Cordon Bleu gives you that direction.

If you want grilled chicken with sweet and spicy sauce, Ayam Bakar Taliwang is the Indonesian-style option.

And if you need a vegetarian main course, Vayana Garden Special gives you a fresh salad-based choice with vegetables, beans, avocado, olives, and boiled egg.

The best part is that these choices can sit together at the same celebration.

Different guests can choose different plates.

A Package That Lets the Menu Stay Personal

A celebration meal does not have to mean everyone orders the same dish.

For a Bridal Shower, one guest may want Chicken Parmigiana while another prefers Grilled Tuna.

For a Birthday Dinner, someone may choose Ayam Bakar Taliwang while another goes for Vayana Garden Special.

That variety makes the package easier to plan for a group.

And because the beverage and appetizer are also selected individually, each guest can build a combination that feels more personal.

The package gives you the structure.

The menu choices let each person make the final decision.
