Reading: Learning Chopsticks

Learning Chopsticks
By Gwen Robinson
In the west, as well as in Asia. Tastes and dining etiquette are changing. There is
more understanding of different cuisines and cultures, says Alan Yau, the
innovative and successful founder of the Wagamama chain of Asian Noodle
restaurants in the UK.
But people still dont understand etiquette very well. For example, in one of my
Thai restaurants, western diners insist on using Chopsticks. They dont want to eat
the Thai way, just with pork and spoon says Yau. So we give them Chopsticks.
Then Thai people say we are not a real Thai restaurant because we provide
Chopsticks .
Hugues Jaquier, general manager of Londons exclusive Hotel Sofitel St. James
and Brasserie Roux, believes people are only beginning to understand other
cultures. He is shocked when customers put ketchup on a traditional French dish
or when US guests insist on drinking coffee with their meals.

Hal 14

Reading: Learning Chopsticks (cont.)

The Japanese are leading other Asian cultures in adapting their own
traditions. When Noboyuki Matsuhisa launched the Nobu restaurants in
the USA, he quickly learned what American like, says Laura Holland,
translator of the successful Nobu cookbook. For example, at the
beginning, Nobu disliked seeing diners pour a lot of sauce on their rice
and sushi, but then he accepted it and he even develop a special mix
for customers to pour.

On the other hand, in Japan, the more sophisticated, restaurant-going

crowd are very open to different styles and trends, says Holland. The
Japanisation of western food and etiquette began many years ago. In
Tokyos chic Ginza District, for example, an Italia-Japanese restaurant
called Chop Stick serves innovative Italian food that people can eat
with Chopsticks.
