What you should know before eating at a real Chinese restaurant!
Bring your appetite because you can count on about 10 courses. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
Think of rice as a supporting character. It’s purpose is to be a balancing, palate-cleansing base in a meal. Too spicy? Have some rice. Too salty? Have some more rice. Don’t pour soy sauce on it.
When making toasts, holding your cup with two hands is a sign of respect.
Use the backend of your chopsticks to get food.
Don’t expect a fortune cookie. They are not given in a real chinese restaurant.
If there aren’t any leftovers, then your host will assume you’re still hungry.
