III. While you read:
Vietnamese dining is a social occasion. Be prepared for constant interaction. If the meal is particularly formal, you are unlikely to be allowed to serve yourself. Your host will make sure you have ample food.

Never return a piece of food from your plate to the serving dish.
III. While you read:
Always place the food on your plate or in your rice bowl first; then pick it back up and eat it.
