Dipping of chopsticks into food on table

Rock^Star SG

If you notice at wedding dinners in singapore, this is a common practice. Even happens widespread in China but in other countries, this could be different. Was at an indonesian chinese wedding with a few singapore colleagues. They dipped their chopsticks into the food on the lazy susan and the other indonesians did not touch that dish anymore. LOL.

each dish will come with a spoon or ladle so u can scoop the portion u want into ur own plate/bowl

if u go banquets at more atas restorans or hotels. the server will distribute the food to each diner

no matter where I'm dining at, I'll never use my own utensils to scoop the food which is shared among others..

its common in mainland china, but its not acceptable in hong kong.

Not so, in orientel concept, sharing foods with same utensils is a culture of family and belonging. It is to further enhance togetherness, be it brotherhood, sisterhood or robinhood, it bring about the trust the strength of friendship bond within the table, but in today modern times, where so much virus had been known and also people gained so much knowledge that most become hygience freak, such culture is losing it tradiiton.
