bored...
hahs. had a sudden inspiration on doing basic hawker centre manners. apologise if im copying anyone who also did this. hahs.


the 101 on eating at hawker centres

DO

- ask (if there is someone seating there) whether there the seat is available. DO NOT assume
that the seat is empty.

- say "thank you" when served your food. likewise, say a "thank you" when the tables is cleared. to show that you appreciate their effort in making your hawker centre meal an enjoyable one.

-try to avoid making a mess of the table, and place your cutlury nicely after eating.

-be patient. whether its having your table cleared, waiting for you food to be served etc.

lastly.
- enjoy your meal! (:


DO NOT

- stand in front of a stall, debating on what to eat and after 5 mins of debating, decide not
to purchase from that stall at all.

- keep asking the hawker if "your food is ready". you might not be the only customer. so be patient. if after a 10 mins wait . i suppose its ok to just remind them.

- feel obliged to buy something if you are appraoched by a stallholder.
just remember to say a polite " no thanks". that way, you won't offend the stallholder and
you won't have to eat/drink something you do not wish to.

- mix all your remnants of your meal.
eg: mee pok gan oil + fish soup + chilli sauce + leftover chicken skin + atap chee from your ice
kacang.
ok. so im guilty of that sometimes. hahs. anyway, you wouldn't want your next bowl of fish beehoon soup to taste like (previous eater's "concotion") .
