1/ Many Asians prefer round
tables where they can enjoy more closeness as
they have conversations in their family gatherings.
You can use a long table cover of burlap and
place "lazy suzans" on the table (Asians
love lazy susans).
2/ Place a large plate to hold a candle and
decorate around the base with bay leaves, and
orchid flower. Tangerine candle usually make
a lovely citrus aroma.
3/ Make a wonderful centerpiece for your table
with an exotic fruit arrangement such as star
fruit, tamarind, mango, kumquats, pineapple,
Asian pears, persimmons, dragon fruit, (You
can find it in an Asian market). Arrange in
a huge bowl. Arrange your food on the table
right before serving.

4/Serve food in traditional
Chinese bowls and arrange chopsticks, tied together
with a festive ribbon, in either red or pink
napkins.
5/Asian dinner is always served with dry white
wine or sake. Beer and Soju drinks are also
very popular in Asia. For kids, prepare an Asian
fruit punch with pineapple, mango, and lemonade.
Follow with Jasmine tea or any Chinese tea you
prefer. |
