Asian restaurants
In China, people tend to eat together, usually the host will serve you some dishes with his or her own chopsticks to show his or her hospitality.
Chinese eating etiquette
- While using chopsticks to pick up food, the palm of your hand should face down at all times. Twisting your chopsticks — holding the wrist in such a way that everyone can see your palm — is considered unrefined in Chinese culture.
- Chinese traditionally eat rice from a bowl. The rice bowl is raised to the mouth and the rice pushed into the mouth using the chopsticks. Some Chinese find it offensive to scoop rice from the bowl using a spoon. If rice is served on a plate, as is more common in the West, it is acceptable and more practical to eat it with a fork or spoon.
- It is acceptable to transfer food to people who have a close relation with you (e.g. parents, grandparents, children or significant others) if you noticed they are having difficulty picking up the food.
- When communal chopsticks are supplied with shared plates of food, it is considered impolite to use your own chopsticks to pick up the food from the shared plate or eat using the communal chopsticks.
- Waving your chopsticks around as if it was an extension of your hand gestures is considered unrefined, as is poking around your bowl looking for food and poking thought food to pick it up.
- In Chinese culture, it is normal to have your lips touching the edge of the rice bowl and using chopsticks to push rice directly into the mouth.
- If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you’re in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.
- A formal Chinese meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be served to be followed by staple food ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings.
- Chinese people tend to over-order food, because they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed. When you have had enough, just stop, don’t worry about finishing all the food.
