In-Depth Information
Remember not to lay your chopsticks across each other, and never place them
across the rice bowl, but rest them on the holder provided or against a plate.
Knives and forks are supplied in most restaurants. If it's any consolation, many
Chinese don't feel quite at home with them either.
Hakka
The name Hakka means 'guest people', referring to their migration to this region from
northern China many centuries ago. Hakka cuisine involves the use of simple ingredients,
especially versatile bean curd. Look for an ingenious dish called salted chicken; a coating of
salt contains and increases the flavours while the bird is being baked.
