So how can we balance these aspects? Here are some tips for ordering food for your reference.
Take a look:
This is the first thing. Don't open the menu to order in the restaurant. Of course, you already know the familiar restaurants like the back of your hand. When eating in a new restaurant, you should:
1, let's look at the same dish on someone else's table first, then this dish must be a feature of this restaurant, and the price/performance ratio will not be bad. Might as well be better. Looking at other people's tables can also help you intuitively understand the products of dishes, and observing the expressions of diners can also accurately distinguish the quality of dishes. Pick some popular dishes, so that your order success rate will be higher.
Look at what people are doing. Are there many diners? If the restaurant is crowded and most of the dishes on the table have not been served, it means that the service speed of this restaurant will not be very fast, so you need to order more cold dishes and less steamed and laborious dishes to avoid waiting for a long time. On the contrary, you can order less cold dishes to avoid waste.
Distinguish:
1, let's distinguish "Yan" first. Generally speaking, the waitress will always recommend several dishes to you, so you should identify her intentions. Many restaurants have such an unwritten secret system: every day before the market opens, the kitchen will write a note with the dishes that need to be promoted today. Most of these dishes are "the quality will be affected if the raw materials are put down again, and they must be sold quickly." The waitresses who sell these dishes are paid, so they work extra hard. Therefore, be sure not to be moved by the bright smile and sweet voice, and be alert to the bait.
2. Identify the "type" again. Eating in restaurants is nothing more than business banquets, family gatherings, drinking with friends and working lunches. Business banquet: naturally, cold dishes, hot dishes, snacks, soup and fruits are served in full set, but it is not necessary to pay too much attention to ostentation and extravagance, and it is the most scientific in moderation. If it is other kinds, there is no need to be so particular, order less or no cold dishes, and the fastest cooking speed can avoid waiting.
3. Then distinguish the number of people. It is another matter of special significance. If you just want to get together or fill your stomach, you can order three dishes 1 soup for less than four people. 5-7 station 5 dishes 1 soup; More than 8 people, according to the number of people minus 2 points, should be enough. The above refers to hot dishes, with as few cold dishes as possible. If there are more cold dishes, then the hot dishes can be reduced by one or two.
Avoid:
The word "taboo" is to avoid ordering separately from the same person, which can avoid a lot of embarrassment and is especially suitable for some special dining activities. Such as business banquets, birthday parties, etc. You may wish to order in advance, which is much more free and more comfortable to refuse the recommendation of the lady. After ordering, you can also calculate the cost first, so that you know what you are doing. If the total price is found to be too high or too low, it can also be adjusted immediately.
Inviting guests to dinner has its own "routine". In fact, it is the easiest to book a banquet, because there are routines to follow. The embodiment of taste should not rely on "quantity", but on "quality".
Most consumers order their own food, just control the grade. If the budget is limited, the best way is to highlight one main course instead of spreading the money equally among several main courses, so as to leave a good impression. What needs to be reminded in particular is that this kind of family banquet should give more consideration to the elderly and children, order more soft dishes, and order less "everyone" dishes to avoid empty seats on the table. Longevity noodles are essential.
