Chinese food etiquette and skills

First, when ordering food, you should not only eat well, but also do what you can. If you order something bigger, more distinctive or even casual for the sake of ostentation and extravagance, it will not only do you no good, but also make people laugh.

At this time, we must know fairly well and try our best not to overspend, squander or waste. You can order a set meal or reserve a table. In this way, the cost is fixed, and the grade and quantity of dishes are relatively fixed, which saves trouble. You can also order food temporarily on site according to your "personal budget". This can not only give greater freedom, but also give consideration to personal financial resources and taste.

When the invitee orders, first of all, he tells the host that he has no special requirements, please help yourself, which is actually welcomed by the other party. Or seriously order a dish that is not too expensive and not taboo for everyone, and then ask others to order. Don't be picky about what others order.

Second, a standard Chinese food, no matter what taste, is served in the same order. Usually cold dishes are served first, then stir-fry, then main course, then dim sum and soup, and finally fruit plate. If you serve salty snacks, pay attention to the salty soup; If there is dessert, there will be sweet soup. Whether you eat big dishes or not, knowing the standard serving order of Chinese food will not only help you to match the dishes skillfully, but also avoid making a fool of yourself and making jokes because you don't understand them.

Before the banquet, the host needs to think twice about the menu in advance. When preparing the menu, the host should focus on which dishes can be selected and which dishes can't be used.

In China, it is common to eat on business, but such a meal is often difficult to handle, and there are many hidden rules waiting for you to appreciate. In order not to make a fool of yourself, hehe, it's better to study early. The details need special attention!

If you are a party person, you should know that you should not take the initiative to order food, but let the host order food. If the other party asks in good faith, you can order a dish that is not too expensive or taboo.

Remember to ask the people at the same table, especially "Is there anything not to eat?" Or "What do you prefer to eat?" Let everyone feel taken care of. After ordering, you can ask "I ordered, I don't know if it suits several people's tastes", "Would you like something else" and so on.
