Techniques for inviting guests to dinner
Take a look
This is the first and foremost, don't go to the restaurant to turn over the menu on the order. Of course for the familiar restaurant, you already know it like the back of your hand, and in the new restaurant dining to:
1, first look at other people's tables are pointing to the same dish, then this dish must be the restaurant's specialties, the cost-effective will not be bad, might as well a little. Look at other people's tables can also allow you to visualize the production of dishes, observe the expression of diners can also accurately distinguish the quality of dishes. Pick dishes that are universally popular, and your ordering success rate will be higher.
2, and then look at what people are doing? How many diners? If the restaurant is a lot of people, and most of the table dishes have not been on all, indicating that the restaurant's food speed will not be very fast, then, you need to point out a little more cold dishes, but also to point out some less steamed, the cost of knife skills of the dishes, so that you can avoid a long time to wait. On the other hand, you can order fewer cold dishes to avoid waste.
Discernment
1, the first discernment "words". Generally speaking, the service lady will always recommend a few dishes to you, you have to identify her intentions. Many restaurants have this unwritten dark system: every day before the market, the kitchen will open a note to write the dishes that need to be marketed today. Most of these dishes are "raw materials and then put it will affect the quality, so must be sold quickly. The waitresses are rewarded for selling these dishes, so they work extra hard. So don't be impressed by the big smiles and pleasant voices, and be wary of taking the bait and losing out.
2, and then identify a "type". On the restaurant to eat is nothing more than a business dinner, family gatherings, friends drink, working lunch several types. Business banquet: naturally cold dishes, hot dishes, snacks, soup, fruit on the full set, but there is no need to pay too much attention to the platoon, the most scientific moderation. If the rest of the several, there is no need to pay so much attention, less or no point cold dishes, frying the fastest speed can be avoided for a long time.
3, and then identify the "number of people". There is a special significance of a different argument, if only for a get-together or to fill the stomach, four of the following point 3 dishes 1 soup; 5 - 7 point 5 dishes 1 soup; more than 8, in accordance with the number of people minus 2 number of points, should be enough. The above refers to the hot dishes, cold dishes as little as possible, if the cold dishes point more, then the hot dishes can be appropriate to reduce one or two.
Avoid
"Avoid" is to avoid the word "avoid" with diners alone, so you can avoid a lot of embarrassment, especially for some special dining activities. For example, business banquet, birthday party and so on, you may wish to go in advance to order food, so much more freedom, refused to miss the recommendation is also much more frank. After ordering food can also count the cost first, to do a good idea. If you find that the total price over the various too low, you can also immediately adjust.
There are a number of ways in which you can get the most out of your meal. In fact, the banquet food is the easiest to point, because it has a set of rules to follow. The quality of the meal should not depend on the quantity but on the quality.
All stages of ordering skills
Appetizers cold dishes how to point
Trick 1: cold dishes more starchy food.
Traditional cold appetizers are mainly fish, meat and eggs, drinking and eating meat on an empty stomach is actually not conducive to gastrointestinal health, but also not conducive to the balance of nutrients, using staple foods to match the dishes is more reasonable. However, if you are entertaining friends or business banquets, once you come up to give the main food, and will seem irregular, no face. The solution is to work on your cold appetizer choices.
For example, you can order some cold dishes containing starch, with fruits and vegetables and cold meat. Eat starch-containing food and vegetables at the beginning of the meal, and then eat a few bites of protein-containing fish and meat before you start drinking, this article originated from WeChat Public No. Today's Health, so that the inside of the stomach first into some starch, you can reduce the problem of protein wastage in the back, but also quickly alleviate the hunger, slow down the speed of eating, and reduce the hazards of drinking on an empty stomach.
And, the dietary fiber contained in these cold dishes can also make up for the lack of hot dishes in the back. Cold dishes recommended: cold dishes should be mainly vegetarian, greasy dishes as little as possible, bad fish and marinated meat and so on point a can, with some starch containing cold dishes, such as buckwheat noodles, fern root noodles, cold rice noodles, mashed potatoes, glutinous rice lotus root, lily of the valley red dates, five spices kidney beans, and so on. A variety of raw vegetables with less oil and cold fruit salads can also be ordered one or two.
How to order hot dishes for a regular meal
Trick #2: Diversify food groups.
Often times, people think their dishes are rich enough, but when they take a closer look, it's a combination of a few ingredients such as stewed pork, stir-fried pork, pork meatballs, and so on. It may be worthwhile to divide the food into meat, aquatic products, eggs, vegetables, soy products, staple food, etc., when ordering all types of food should be included in the meat, try to choose more than one variety of meat, pork, beef, chicken, duck, etc. can be considered, and try not to repeat the ingredients.
Trick 3: meat and vegetarian ratio should be reasonable.
While dining out is not possible to fully achieve a meat with three vegetarian ratio, but as long as the smart ordering, you can still achieve the ratio of meat and vegetables 1:1 or even 1:2. Vegetables are also divided into green leafy vegetables, orange vegetables, light-colored vegetables, mushroom vegetables, etc., try to do a variety of combinations on the matching options. The principle is that vegetarian raw materials should be a variety of animal ingredients not in the more but in the fine, so that a meal can leave a good and deep impression. Dish recommendations: In addition to vegan dishes, it may be worth choosing those dishes that contain both meat and vegetarian ingredients in the raw materials, such as meat with nuts and vegetables, such as chicken soup with vegetables and mushrooms, aquatic products with greens around the edges, etc., can achieve a sense of gourmet food, but also improve the ratio of various types of ingredients.
Tip #4: Cooking methods should be less oil.
When ordering, instruct the chef to put as little oil and salt as possible when frying. You can also instruct the waiter to put the soup, vegetarian dishes earlier, especially when frying vegetables do not drizzle oil, so you can eat a lot less oil and salt. If possible, order more dishes that are mainly cooked by steaming, boiling or stewing.
How to order varieties of entrees

The vast majority of banquets are full of big fish and meat before considering whether the main food, which is not conducive to the utilization of protein, but also brings the burden of the body, and is not conducive to the control of blood lipids. In order not to affect people's excitement, this article from WeChat public health today, in addition to the cold dishes with some varieties of starch, but also in the hot dishes can be selected to contain potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro, grains, beans and other ingredients, such as taro stewed chicken, pork ribs stewed lotus root, red cashew beans and white mushrooms with beef grain, or you can be in the hot dishes on two or three on the early on the staple food.
Trick #6: Choose more coarse grains, beans and potatoes.
Most restaurants have a selection of staple foods in addition to fine white rice and soft pasta, which are crispy desserts, buns, dumplings, fried rice and the like. Fine white rice and white flour buns have little nutritional value and raise blood sugar quickly, although they don't have much fat. It is worth noting that while other fancy staple foods are both oil, salt or sugar, and there are no roughage in them. Pay special attention to ordering fewer crispy snacks; they are usually high in saturated fat, which is not good for your health. Banquet has eaten so many high-fat dishes, oil and salt is already quite excessive, staple food but also add oil and salt, is not adding to the problem? So choose more roughage is better.
Recommended staple food: some cold dishes contain coarse grains, such as buckwheat flour, oat noodles, large kidney beans. It is best to order some of the "Nongjiajia" and other coarse grains and potatoes combination. Now many restaurants have steamed corn, sweet potatoes, taro, pumpkin and other combinations, both the atmosphere of joy, but also to get the nutritional value of refined rice and white flour is not. In addition, some corn cakes, small nest, purple rice porridge, mung bean porridge and so on, is also a good choice of staple food.
How to order fruits with meals
Trick 7: Fruits might as well be on earlier.
If there is no deliberate control of the amount of food, the stomach is already fully full after the meal, and then on the fruit at this time, will be an additional increase in the supply of energy, is not conducive to weight control. If you can incorporate fruit into a meal, as a kind of cold dishes early on, you can avoid the problem of excess energy in a meal. Especially hypertensive and hyperlipidemic obese people, if you eat fruit on an empty stomach without gastrointestinal discomfort, if you can first on the fruit, with which to fill the stomach pouch, you can make up for the lack of vegetables at mealtime, fiber is not enough to prevent food overdose, improve nutritional balance may be helpful. In addition, serving cold fruit or ice cream before or after a meal is not really very appropriate.
Particularly for people with weak gastrointestinal function, eating greasy food and eating cold fruit after a meal may affect digestion and absorption and cause discomfort. Therefore, do not chill the fruits on the side of the meal to room temperature is more appropriate.
Drinks alcohol how to point
Trick 8: drinks best low energy.
Most of the drinks that can be ordered during meals contain sugar or alcohol, which increase calories and are not conducive to obesity and chronic disease prevention. But there are also some non-energy drinks, such as plain water, tea, flower and fruit tea (such as chrysanthemum tea), and fried grain tea (such as barley tea). They hydrate, but don't bring in extra calories.

If you must drink, it is best to order some tofu mushroom soup, celery corn egg soup and other vegetarian soup. If it is a banquet, you can order wolfberry and silver ear soup, red bean and lotus seed soup.
Tip 2: Cold food is not the face of the vegetarian should not meat
Many people are accustomed to point of soy sauce beef, smoked fish, thousand layers of crispy ear cold appetizers.

Points of vegetarian dishes, to point low oil content, such as stir-fried cabbage, garlic fried corns, etc., if it is fried green leafy vegetables, explain the waiter less oil.
The secret to ordering 6: to drink herbal tea
Drinking more beverages will make you as fat as a Coke bottle! Many girls have become the "green tea girl" in restaurants. In fact, this drink is not healthy, because the tea contains tannins and theophylline, which will affect the digestion of protein in the stomach. If you want to drink tea, you should choose less ellagic acid and theophylline herbal tea, wolfberry chrysanthemum tea, rose red date tea can be. In fact, more suitable than tea to accompany the meal to relieve fatigue is some starchy hot drinks, such as grains and cereals soybean milk, "red and black list" soybean milk and so on. Ordered can be omitted higher salt-containing soup, but also can eat less staple food.
