Dining etiquette is more than just the proper handling of knives, spoons, and forks on the dining table.
You will also learn the appropriate arrangement, the different types of food, and more.
If you feel a bit nervous every time you are invited to a dinner or eat in an Asian restaurant, it’s time for you to enrol in the Dining Etiquette Class in Singapore.
Dining Etiquette Class 1: The Art of the Asian Table – Eat and Socialise with Confidence and Learn Do’s and Don’ts (3 hours)
Gratitude, discipline, and respect are some essential values that Asians apply to their everyday lives. We can observe these values at the dining table.
Asian tables often focus on composition. Thus, you will not see lots of goblets, knives, and forks. Instead, you will encounter colour schemes and shapes.
If you have to attend an Indian, Malay, or Chinese dinner at a restaurant or household, you do not need to feel anxious. This class covers the sit-down meal and practical exercises.
