Ponder....
This qn has actually been in my mind for a very very long time since i was young.
Why do people love to slurp their food so loudly???
I deeply remember during my primary skool days..maybe P3 or P4, my form teacher...she's a Eurasian...(she's the most fierce teacher i ever had...will NEVER forget her !!! Am i right dotty ??)... she once told us not to eat our food or drink soup with so much noise....she said it sounds like a PIG !!! We should be more refined...LOL
From then onwards, i have been trying to eat in a more refined way...
I guess it's all about culture...dun remember if someone told me or i watched/read somewhere, in Japan, the louder u slurp, it would mean u are really enjoying ur food !!!!
In Western countries, i dun think i've seen anyone slurping their food/soup. It's so weird and awful when u have Asians going to the restaurants, and u hear them eating the Asian way. Remember when i was in Europe, i had the "pleasure" of dining with the older folks when we had our Florentine steak...gosh...i felt like digging a hole...the other side of the restaurant, there were well-dressed and elegant caucasians....on my side, we didn't dress that well coz it was after a day of touring...and ppl i sat with were just slurping their entree soup...-.-''''' That romantic ambience was totally destroyed !!!
Hmm....so wad's the correct way of eating? Maybe my teacher was a Eurasian, so tt's how she taught us. Is there an Asian style and a Western style of eating ????

In Japan, the louder u slurp yr noodles means the more delicious u find it. I was told that by a Japanese. So i also follow suit...but only in Japan! lol it's not good manners to eat noisily anywhere else, i think!
