Eating and drinking in China can be an enjoyable cultural experience.However,there are some things you should know before you go to China.
Share the same dishes.In China ,eating is more of a public activity.Food is generally ordered to be shared by all people at the table.Each person has his or her own small rice bowl.And food from the plates in the center of the table is placed using chopsticks ,or perhaps serving spoons.
Host places food in your bowl. Your Chinese host places food in your bowl,usually without even asking.The host may put chicken legs in the guest’s bowl.Though Westerners may feel uncomfortable,it’s a sign of hospitality（好客）in China.
Use chopsticks. It is common in China for everyone to use their own chopsticks for fetching food from the dishes in the center.If you prefer,serving spoons and serving chopsticks can be provided for food in the center of the table.Don’t be embarrassed（尴尬的） if you can’t use chopsticks well.The main thing is that you enjoy the food.
Restaurant—noise and smoking.In some popular restaurants,especially in the evenings,it’s usually very noisy and smoking is also allowed.Eating noisily and talking with one’s mouth full may be considered rude in the West.However,these acts can be thought as a sign of enjoying the food.
Dessert—not common in Chinese eating.Eating something sweet for dessert is not a Chinese custom.Sweet things can be found hidden among everything else on a Chinese menu.
