I'm going to talk about a memorable occasion that happened about one month ago at a forum dinner. Normally, I rarely eat outdoors. But under the encouragement of my friend, I decided to eat out at an Indian restaurant. And it's also the first time I tried something new with my friend at an Indian restaurant. When I came to the restaurant, I was taken aback by the design of the place because I assume it is a good reflection of Indian culture. One of my friends ordered secretly as he wanted to surprise us, claiming that we could have some Indian specialties. So, surprisingly, when the food arrived, I was surprised to see that the plate was on banana leaves. That's so cool. And also the food elements, I think, were rather similar to Vietnamese cuisine with rice curries and also the green vegetables. However, there were no chopsticks, no fork, and even no spoon. After a quiet moment of confusion, we decided to ask the waitress. She introduced us to eating with our bare hands, which is a cultural table manner in India. I had never eaten like that before, except for finger food. Of course, I was quite hesitant at first, feeling in my bones that I could make a mess using my hands.
