Recently, I got introduced to the concept of Communal Dining. I have known about casual dining, fine dining, comfort food, bistro, individually-plated, but it is the first time I heard of Communal Dining.
I did some research and found out that Communal Dining is a new concept slowly gaining popularity in the West and here. However, even though Communal Dining itself is a relatively new concept, it has already been practiced by Asians.
You know those table dinners where there are a few dishes and everyone helps himself to the dish? One dish feeds several people. Just like for Chinese, when we eat, we use chopsticks to take the fish, the vegetables and scoop the soup. The whole family eats from the same few dishes instead of individual servings.
That is Communal Dining. It sems that we have been practising that all these while but never really thought of that in this context.
Communal Dining is not the same as those dinners we see on television where the dish is passed around and everyone takes just a scoop. It means a sharing of the dishes where everyone eats from the same dishes.
Seems that what we practise here is slowly gaining popularity in the West when all these while, it had been the Western influence on our culture and habits. Times have changed indeed!
