Do Not Leave Any Food (Especially for Baikingu)
Recently, there are hotels that provide all-you-can-eat buffet service, but do you know the table manners of all-you-can-eat or baikingu? We will introduce the important points for an all-you-can-eat buffet.
- First start with appetizers and soups, and eat dessert for last.
- Do not pile up a mountain of food on a plate, but just eat as much as you can. Remember you must eat all the food you put on the plate.
- Do not pile up many dishes on your table.
- After eating all the remaining food on your plate, it is alright to bring another set of food.
- Do not leave any food except for the one that you cannot eat. It is a manner violation when you leave the food that you have taken.
