During the Meal

A Vietnamese meal is a courtesy of

young people to elders before and

after eating The meal only begins

when all family members sit around

the table or tray, then The older one

will eat first At the dinner table, the

oldest man first begins by saying

"let's all eat dinner" Then the

younger people will invite the whole

family to eat and then start eating

Vietnamese people like to chat during

meals After a tiring day of work,

dinner is a great time for them to sit

together with their families, tell each

other funny stories, and share family's

daily stories to create a warm

atmosphere and help them relax It is

natural for all family members to

understand each other In Vietnam,

people eat loudly and slurp not

because they eat impolitely, but they

show delicious and attractive food

However, chopsticks are not

acceptable

When someone pauses between

eating, chopsticks will be placed level

with the food in the bowl People

who eat them should not put them in

the food bowl because it is not only

According to the dining etiquette of the international business culture, asking for permission before and after eating is not a habit of everyone, except for waiters and waitresses Some Catholics make a habit of offering thanks before meals Here is a prayer for thanksgiving used by the Catholic faith: This supper, Father, is a sign of your love for us: Bless us and our food, and assist us in giving you praise every day Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ Amen!

People also rarely talk during meals, they consider it an act of impolite They eat slowly and chew with their mouths closed

They avoid making noise when shoveling food into their mouths and from forks and knives

If for any reason they have to leave the table in time

meal, apologize quietly to those present without having to explain why you're leaving, but

disrespectful, but the chopsticks are

also easily thrown out, spilling the

food on the table Furthermore, this is

usually done during funerals or

funerals offerings at the ancestral

shrine After eating, Vietnamese

people never use chopsticks to wipe

their mouth or teeth instead of tissues

or napkins because this action is

impolite

don't just get up and leave when intending to just go out for a while and then come back people usually place your napkin, loosely folded, on the seat of their chair

Ater the meal

Vietnam Internation References

After eating, Vietnamese people

usually

It is not polite to leave the table

too soon after the Vietnamese

have finished their meal

because others may think that

you do not want to talk to them

Therefore, if dining at the host's

house, people often show their

respect by staying and talking to

others when they have finished

their meal; as well as helping

the host to prepare dessert It's

typical of Vietnamese culture

Make sure to tell the host that

you're satisfied with the meal,

and compliment their dedication

and ingenuity This action

shows your appreciation for the

host's work Your landlord will

be grateful if you offer to help

clean, even though they won't

let you do it In addition,

sometimes Vietnamese people

also tip the restaurant staff if

they feel satisfied with the meal

When at a restaurant , the

person eats first and they

intentionally want to invite

customers to be their partners or

-When they finish eating, place the handles of the knife and fork at 4:00 on the plate

-The tip of the knife and the tines of the fork point to 10:00 on the plate -The tines of the fork are turned up, and the cutting edge of the knife blade always faces inward toward the fork

After finishing the meal, people are usually discreet about paying the bill

They often try to arrange not to bring the receipt to the table If the ticket is brought to the table, they will usually deftly pick it up and check the total without comment Place the check face down on the tray in a folder with the card

or money underneath They always avoid letting others know how much the meal costs

It's safe to assume that if you're the one who invites the guests, you'll be the one

to choose the tab You should at least offer to pay the bill if a client or investor invites you to discuss something that could be profitable for you If they insist

on paying, agree to pay at least half of your bill and leave it at that If someone else offers to pay the bill, never dispute it; you can go once and then simply

benefits , they will go to the

counter and pay the bill in

advance And if you are the one

invited, remember to send the

owner a thank you

thank the payer for their kindness and offer to review the bill the next time

In addition, people often have the habit

of tipping the service staff there as a thank you for their enthusiastic service

It is usually poured in a glass, so if

you are a woman, when drinking

unsightly So women's glasses of

water are often included with a straw

hold ice in your mouth when sipping

drinks with ice or crushed ice

Coffee and tea

Green tea is the most often

consumed beverage in

Vietnamese houses, and you

will be served tea if you visit a

local family Because the taste

is fairly harsh, avoid drinking

this tea in the evening if you

have difficulties sleeping Tea

is useful for both casual and

business meetings, as well as

passing the time In Vietnam,

unlike China and Japan, there

are no precise rules for

drinking tea When your cup is

almost empty, the host will

refill it with more tea If you're

pouring the tea yourself, make

sure to pour the host's and

others' cups first, then ours

During your travel to Central

Vietnam, you may find the best

coffee in the Central

Highlands, which is known as

the land of coffee cultivation

There are numerous cafes in

tourist areas around Vietnam;

however, in Hanoi and Ho Chi

Minh City, you may sample

the famous "ice milk coffee"

on the pavements This coffee

is blended with condensed

milk to mask the strong and

bitter flavor, making it ideal

for individuals who want a

milder cup of coffee

into the cup Soak the tea bags, then place two or three

in a pot of boiling water and pour the tea when the kettle is full

Empty sugar packets and individual ice cream cans should be squeezed Then, on the rim of your dish or butter plate, place them

People frequently place their spoon on a plate or saucer rather than in a coffee or tea cup or mug Taking ice from your water to cool hot drinks

is also not recommended in international style

They never put donuts, cookies, or anything else in their coffee because they consider it impolite and unsanitary unless they are in a surreal place where the standard is drink alcohol

Alcoholic Beverages

When it comes to drinking alcohol,

hard liqueurs aren’t a favorite

Instead, people go for something

smooth with a lower percentage of

alcohol like rice wine, or beer Plus,

the point here is to enjoy the meal,

-Alcohol drinks served at tables and at parties have their own manners according to international business culture:

+Only drink when there is no food in your mouth

https://

www.etiquettesc holar.com/ dining_etiquette /table_manners/ dinner_etiquette

not to get drunk Therefore, drink in

moderation if you’re offered a glass

of rice wine or a can of beer Of

course, children aren’t allowed to

touch any alcoholic drinks + At

sitting parties, people often serve

alcohol and soft drinks You should

not drink alcohol while the mouth

has food, should not drink too much

will lose consciousness If you can't

drink alcohol, put your glass down

on the table, when raising the glass,

it can be replaced with soft drink,

you can raise the glass with wine,

but you just need to gently touch

your lips and then lower the glass

+ When finished eating, you should

also leave the utensils parallel in the

plate to serve to clean up If you

accidentally drop something, don't

panic, sit still and someone will

come clean it up

While attending a party,

communication skills may not be

enough, but also your eating style

will clearly show your style, so eat

"beautifully" to make people feel

+Sipping rather than swallowing +If you are a woman, don't put on too much lipstick so that your drinking glasses are stained

- beers are frequently given in bottles with an empty glass so that the drinker may control the pour and tip

-The only inedible item you should keep in your cocktail glass is a straw;

skewers and miniature paper umbrellas should be kept on your table

or bread plate At parties, keep such extras in a napkin until you find a waste container

Eat the garnish included in your cocktail if you want

Wine is very popular in international meals because it shows the nobility and elegance of the person drinking it

A traditional red wine glass has a bowl wide enough to hold the wine in your hand, allowing the wine to be subtly warmed in the palm of your hand This large bowl also allows you

to swirl the wine and sample the bouquet centered around the rim

White wine glasses have a longer stem and a slimmer sphere than red wine glasses The longer stem keeps your fingers away from the glass so the wine stays as cool as possible The

Alcohol and Business Negotiations

In Vietnam, business exchanges are

incomplete without alcohol; people

frequently compel one other to drink,

and refusing to do so can result in a

variety of issues, such as the person

providing wine believing you lack

Alcohol is highly common in business discussions, according to worldwide business culture; they drink to enjoy themselves, not to get intoxicated because this can impact their quality of life
