Traditional Chinese dishes always go better with steamed rice. That’s why at Cuisine AuntDai we offer free refill for steamed rice.
For a table of several people sharing dishes, we provide each one an empty plate, a pair of chopsticks, sometimes a fork, rarely customers ask for knives.
When we bring a bowl of rice to customers we see two different ways of handling rice.
Let’s call them traditional way and modern way.
Traditional way, bring meal to the rice bowl, it’s difficult when the bowl is full. But when you work your way on the rice, it’s becoming easier and easier and you can bring the rice bowl to your mouth. Rice mixed with meals tastes better and you can use the empty plate for bones and some spices you pick out.
Modern way, pour all the rice on to the empty plate at the beginning and now you have an empty bowl. You can bring some meal to mix rice on the plate, it’s easy to pick up with fork or spoon. We see more and more people adopting this way. Also some people use the empty bowl as a mixer to mix rice and meal. For bones or unwanted spices, we see people put them at one corner of the plate or in the empty bowl.
There could be other ways to deal with the steamed rice at Cuisine AuntDai?
