Class #10 Table Manners
Today we discussed table manners from all over the world. Please answer the following questions in your blog.
Have you ever eaten in a foreign restaurant?
Yes, I have.
Where?
Singapore, Australia, and America.
What did you eat?
In Singapore, I ate some Chinse foods at a restaurant. and Australia, I often ate ram. That was good.
Did you make any mistakes? Please explain your experience. Did you learn anything?
When I was at a restaurant in Singapore, there was a small bowl which has water on the table. I didnt know why such a bowl was on the table. In the beginning, I got the idea that it was something to drink, but my host family suddenly wash their hands in that bowl . I almost drink the water. Then, I learned that was not drink.

Hi.
I did not know about washing hands in the bowl in Singapore. It is normal for us to wipe hands with a rolled hand towel. It is one of interesting culture in Singapore.

I am envious of you that a lot of country older brothers eat. I think that I should be careful when "finger bowl" came out.

The bowl is like "Oshibori" in Japan!
If I didn't know that, I will drink too. haha.

It's interesting that you experienced in Singapore! Were they wash their hands? or just wash their fingers?
