Vietnamese Table Manners
My parents raised us with a moderately-high level of
formality. Whenever there were guests in the house, we were
paraded in front of them, made to stand in a row and bow. If
we visited other people’s homes, we were expected to be
quiet and polite, no matter how bored we got. When I
misbehaved at the table, my mother would put a very very
firm grip on my leg to convey her disapproval. With five
children in our family, there was plenty of horsing around.
However, we had to don our public faces when appropriate.

The photo above is of the grandson of a friend of my
mother's. He enjoys his food with gusto and around his age (I venture that he was around 8
when I snapped the shot in Saigon), he eats with one hand on his hip!
Having lived in America for most of my life, the manners from my childhood have relaxed over
the years. Nevertheless, certain behaviors endure at the table because we relive all the eating
experiences of the past whenever we sit down to a meal. Here are some Vietnamese table
manners and etiquette that I can’t quite shake:
Both hands on the table – Western table etiquette says that you are not supposed to put both

hands and elbows on the table. I learned that in elementary school and from watching lots of
American television shows. So it was that I started eating with only one hand on the table.
When my mother caught me, she told me that you have to have both hands on the table during a
Vietnamese meal because otherwise, (1) you cannot pick up your rice bowl and use chopsticks
at the same time, (2) you cannot use all your fingers to wrap up food in banh trang rice paper
and lettuce, and (3) other people won’t know what your other hand is up to under the table.
Trying to remember to keep one or two hands on the table depending on the cultural situation
and its rules of etiquette has been akin to learning to be ambidextrous. I’m not great at it.
Forgive me if you see both of my hands on your table.
Personalize food before eating – Vietnamese cuisine is a highly personal one in that “you CAN
have it your way,” as the Burger King motto goes. Before diving into a bowl of pho, I go through
the ritual of adding bean sprouts, torn herb leaves, and chile slices. I love to mix up a little
dipping sauce at the table or tweak one that’s been set out. With western foods such as a
hamburger, I often take a good 5 minutes to arrange all the garnishes to get them just the way I
like it. I love buffets because you can freely make your own food and flavors. It’s fun to
personalize and tinker with your food, even if other people are nearly halfway done with theirs
before you take your first bite.

When it comes to eating Vietnamese food, I don’t know if there are general rules as much as
parameters. On the other hand, we each set up a little personal set of rules based upon
childhood experiences and personal preferences. They’re hard to change but then, why?

My Experience with Love at First Sight

track behind me. For a few (usually uneventful) hours every Tuesday, I work at the ticket
and rider registration booth; collecting money and making everyone ____(6)_____the if-youdie-you-can’t-sue-us forms. As usual, I was signing in a few riders and spectators at my

Regarding looks, he seemed absolutely perfect. His skin was a nice tan probably from riding
in the sun, his eyes were piercing blue and he was the perfect height. I quickly realized that
I had been ignoring the customer that I was currently helping, and kept stealing glances his
way to take another look. I finished up the current customer and sent him on his way,
