Chopstick Etiquette for Truly Having the Nyonyang Experience

The Nyonyang at the Park Plaza provides delicious food on the table; however, the best way to consume them features the usage of chopsticks. Hence, offshoot knowledge about the ways in which chopsticks get used in different parts of the Orient is certainly a useful thing to know.
                                                                  CHINA
Never-ever point rested chopsticks towards others seated at the table
Hold the rice bowl close to the mouth and use the chopsticks for pushing the rice inside
                     
                                   HONG KONG AND CANTONESE
Do not start eating unless the eldest member holds his or her chopsticks
Do not use chopsticks backwards; except for stirring or transferring food (again, if there are no serving chopsticks present)
Place the chopsticks inside the bowl after finishing your meal but keep them on a chopstick stand during eating (if you feel like it)
                                                                 TAIWAN
Don’t transfer food from one chopstick to another
Use a stand for resting the chopsticks but never place them on the dinner table
Never bite your chopstick
                                                                JAPANESE
Don’t stick the chopsticks vertically inside rice present in a rice bowl
Don’t keep the chopsticks in a crossed position
If you happen to break wooden chopsticks, then don’t rub the broken ends together
Place the chopsticks in the right-left direction with the pointed ends on the left
                                                                     KOREA
Chopsticks are used together with spoons
Never lay the chopsticks down to the left of the spoon – it not a nice table manner
                                                                  VIETNAM
Never place chopsticks in a ‘V’ position after finishing your meal
Always use both chopsticks together, whether during eating, picking or stirring
Bring the rick bowl close to the mouth and use the chopsticks to transfer the rice inside
The delicacies at the Nyonyang deserve the proper usage of chopsticks as a law. Therefore, it makes more than sense to spend some attentive minutes in reading through this post.
