What are the table manners

Sihaiwang: it is the most possible to observe whether a person has self-restraint at the table, especially when a group of people sit around to eat together, many details must be noticed, otherwise it will leave a bad influence of 'no cultivation'.

Serving women and elders

If you're a man and you're surrounded by women, then you should use your gentlemanly demeanor to serve the lady, such as pulling up the seat and asking for something from the waiter. This is especially true if you are sitting next to your elders.

order

When ordering, if it's you who are cooking, you should invite the guests to order. Start with the elders, then ask the lady's opinion, and finally ask the children what they want to eat. Take good care of them.

Waiting for service

It's impolite not to knock on the table or cutlery because of boredom while waiting to serve. You can talk to your right-hand friend, and then talk to your left-hand friend.

Vegetables

When you pick a dish, you can't use your chopsticks to pick it from the inside of the dish. If you find that you don't like it, you can put it back on the plate. If you want to eat food far away, do not stand up to clip, should wait until you turn in front of yourself or ask someone nearby to help you put it into your bowl.

At dinner

When you eat, you should hold the bowl up, but don't stretch your arms too wide to squeeze the people on the edge. Don't put one hand under the table, bury your head in a bowl and eat it yourself. The bowl should be put up to catch the vegetables or soup, and the juice or soup should not be spilled everywhere. Don't be too big. Be careful of splashing.

Don't press your elbows on the table when you eat. It doesn't hurt to put one or two elbows on the table in between meals, because it's a natural gesture for people who are talking to people enthusiastically. However, it's better to leave your elbows off the table when you eat.

Don't let others eat any of the dishes. Don't gulp, and don't make a 'Bata' sound. You should keep your mouth shut and eat carefully. It's not only elegant to eat, but also helpful to digestion.

pick teeth

I found that there was something between my teeth, so I couldn't pick my teeth in public. It's better to get up and go to the bathroom to finish this action, or lean on your side, cover your mouth with a tissue, and then start picking your teeth quietly. Pick out the thing with a paper towel, then, wrapped and put in the bone dish.

Stop eating

There are many choices about how to place your hands when you pause. You may like to place your hands on the table top with the bottom of your wrist against the edge of the table; or you may like to place your hands on your knees under the table. Keeping your hands still may be better than fiddling with food on the plate or playing with your hair!

Have a good meal

If you have a good meal, you should get up and say, 'I've finished. Please use it slowly', and then leave the table.
