![]() ![]() You put rice on your own plate and share many other dishes called “Gub Khao”, literally meaning “with rice” as we always eat them…with rice, from the center of the dining table! You only take small portion at a time onto your plate, eat it with your rice and then take some more. What a way to train those tongue for the Thai Spiciness, huh!Īlso, Thais share all the dishes family style, except when eating noodle. I guess this is because you will get full before you finish your main dish. Oh, and you do not suppose to drink water until the end of the meal either. No sound of fork or spoon touching, no banging utensils on the plate, no slurp, and no talking with the mouth full, duh! Loud chewing and slurping are compared to a pig eating. When we eat, you will almost hear nothing. Even with the noodle dishes, some of us still use chopsticks to put the noodles on the spoon, with some broth, and only the spoon goes into the mouth. I But since the older generation Thais believed that right hand is and only the correct one, I do have friends whose dominant hand are left but still hold their spoons on the right.Īnd NO, do NOT ask for chopsticks when eating rice! We only use chopsticks with noodle dished, never with a rice dish. Forks rarely go into the mouths of Thais while eating. To me, fork is like a poor stepchild in Thai’s eating culture since it is used only to assist the spoon by pushing food onto the spoon. Spoon is always being held by the right hand or dominant hand, and fork on the other. We use spoon as our main utensil for almost everything. ![]() As a Thai, we, and some other Southeast Asians, have a quite unique way of eating. ![]()
