Khmer table manners

She likes to call me when she’s eating and it’s really not pretty - truth is she eats like a pig. Stuffing in massive spoons full of rice and chewing with her mouth open. It’s not only hard to watch it horrifies me to think of her eating like that at the tables of my family or friends in the west.

Is this typical or she’s just a pig? Do you think they are able to change these bad habit(s)?

You're lucky she uses a spoon instead of her hand.

Chewing loudly with open mouth is as Cambodian as the krama. Try it for a bit and you'll realize it's many benefits.

I promise you they do this around close friends and family, not out in public. My wife is the same way at home, eats slower than a snail and covers her mouth to talk when chewing when we're out dining.

I would venture that, just like in the West, it is a lack of education. Table manners across Asia can be shocking, to our eyes anyway, but there are plenty of people that do know how to eat.

It's hard to have proper table manners when using a fork and spoon.

I started reading the reply and mentally hearing ‘when you have no table’.

Table manners is something which I’ve tried to instil in the older kids, win one lose one, and slowly but with some success got my point across with the other half. But generally, it’s not too bad. Thank the gods my family have never met my brother. It’s hard to believe we’re from the same family, what with belching, farting, swearing and lewd conversation.

OP- Tell her? If nothing else, the make up shag might be great, assuming she’s not still eating.

I took my gf and her grandma to kampot. Gf was no issue. Grandma, on the other hand, was a savage.
While eating at the fish market restaurant she threw her bones and tissues on the floor like it was a 3000rl rice/soup shop.

I didn't mind too much. Food was awful.
