When we had our lunch here, the waiter brought two bowls of what looks like soup to our table right after he brought us the lobster dish.

Yeah, it sure looks like soup. But it isn’t !!

While we use chopsticks at Chinese meals, it’s okay to use your fingers when tackling shelled seafood.

The restaurant usually provides a bowl of Chinese tea or water with either lime or lemon slices for you to dip your fingers in for a quick wash afterwards.

The citrus slices are pretty effective for removing the oiliness and fishy smell. Some restaurants provide a small, cool towel to dry your fingers. If towels are not provided, use your serviette instead.
