Eating in China

Chinese food is delicious and healthy, consisting of rice, noodles, vegetables and meat cooked by frying or steaming. Chopsticks and sometimes spoons are used to eat from shared serving dishes in the middle of the table. It is considered polite to offer the last piece of food to another person rather than taking it for oneself. Customs include receiving more food when one's bowl is empty, signaling being full by covering the bowl, and cleaning hands with hot towels at the end of the meal rather than using napkins.
