I would like to know after you have finish your meal, how and where you should place the chopsticks. Is there a standard way of doing it or just do as you like ?

The dim sum and cantonese dinner looks divine, definitely a more elevated take on Chinese cuisine. Truffle is definitely not common here, in America in Dim Sum. Very classy places in London, bucket-listed!

Loved the harpooning the dim sum. Lol

[ilearnwine]

I'm heading for my first dim sum meal at Phoenix Palace. I'll be joining Chinese friends, so this was very helpful. Wish me luck!

I just saw a video of Japanese table manner coach was saying to cut the fried spring roll when you eat. Is this true? I thought it doesn’t look good to cut crispy spring roll with chopsticks.
I’m confused 😮
Can you tell me what is right way to eat fried spring rolls?

[mellow-jello]

Pu'erh was always the tea of choice to cut through the fat & grease, while it pairs well with most dishes. Fingers tap is old fashion, and no longer needed. Two handed is also OG, just don't tip over the cup.

And no elbows in table, or pivoting elbow on table while eating or picking up foods. You can rest any part up to the elbow part. Don't make yourself look lazy when eating. Very rude with that posture

Lots of fun but please don't say "there's" when you should say "there ARE". After all, it's the King's English.
