The Chinese are rather particular about food, as well as how they look when eating. After being seated, the servers will offer a hot towel to wipe one's hands. When there are dishes such as lobster being served, a bowl of water will be offered to cleanse your hands. As a standard, in Chinese banquet dining, cold dishes are served first, followed by soup, hot dishes, the main course followed by dim sum and fruits. Some important manners to follow include being polite and graceful when picking up food with chopsticks, not making noise when eating soup, not talking with a full mouth, and most importantly not pointing at someone with chopsticks or even playing with them, as it is considered the height of rudeness.
