W E S T E R N/M E D I T E R R A N E A N E U RO P E Placing your napkin on the table usually means you are finished with your meal. The most honored position is at the head of the table. W hen there are multiple utensils, start from the outermost set and work your way in. If there is a fork and spoon set above your plate, it is reser ved for dessert. Do not put your elbows on the table. Hands must be seen, so rest your wrists on the table.
C E N T R A L/ E A S T E R N E U RO P E The more you drink, the more you will be offered drinks. If you do not wish to drink
MIDDLE EAST Always greet the elders first as a sign of respect. Accept any offer of food or drink. Wait to be told where to sit. Only eat with your right hand. Do not handle food with your left (i.e. passing food or holding utensils with your left hand). Keep your left hand off the table. Normally, a host will offer second and third helpings. Refusals are not taken seriously as it is viewed as only being polite. Leave some food on your plate when finished eating to indicate to your host that he or she has fed you to the point where you cannot eat anymore. In some places, the most honored position is in the middle of the table.
IN GENERAL
In most restaurants, a tip of at least 10 percent is already added to the bill. Shared plates are normally passed to your left in a clockwise manner. Most tables are designed for parties of four or six, so sometimes you will have to share a table. Do not force conversation.

If you plan to do some traveling one day, keep these tips in mind to prevent you from unknowingly insulting people with your dining manners. You can also use these tips to look like you know what you’re doing when eating at an authentic European, Mediterranean or Middle Eastern restaurant.
more, leave your glass at least half full; otherwise, someone will offer to fill it for you. A toast to one’s health is common and considered rude to turn down. Never break eye contact when making a toast, from the moment you pick up the cup to the moment you place the cup down. Eat all the bread you take, as it is considered bad luck not to. The most honored or oldest guest eats first and only after everyone has been served food.
A RIEL R AMOS Special Issues Editor W hether it ’s how to hold your utensils or when to start eating, here are a few things to know about the fine dining etiquettes of Canada, United States, South A merica, Central A merica and the Caribbean.
A for fork is held in the left hand and the knife when cutting and eating. Always in the right ri the fork tines facing downward when keep th spearing food. Utensils are set upward in the middle of o the plate when the meal is fi nished. Napkins are placed in your lap and remain there for the duration of the meal.

At informal restaurants, you may be asked to share tables. Make eye contact with your waiter or waitress if you need something. Calling out or waving them over is considered rude.

Napkins N meal has started and stay there for the duration of the meal. A mericans eat quicker than most. Some meals include appetizers, a main entrée and dessert, while other meals just involve a main entrée.
The Continental European way of eating is followed. This includes keeping the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right, not cutting into lettuce and passing dishes to the left. It is bad manners to leave the table while the meal is ongoing. Lunch is usually the heaviest and main meal of the day. In informal settings, punctuality is not normally observed.

Although family-style sharing and tea are typical to Asian cuisine, there are differences to be noted when eating and enjoying these varying foods.
JA PA N Oftentimes when drinking soup, there will not be a spoon. It is customary to pick up the bowl with both hands and sip the soup, using chopsticks to pick up the solid pieces. Do not serve food from a public plate to a plate that is not your own. Doing this replicates a funeral rite. Do not pour soy sauce directly onto food. Use a small dish and dip the food instead. When eating sushi, flip the sushi over when dipping it into sauce. It is rude to leave rice floating in soy sauce.
KO R E A
Now Looking for DJ’s
It is extremely offensive to blow your nose at the table, even if the food is spicy. Excuse yourself to the restroom to take care of a runny nose. At Korean restaurants, you will be served with many side dishes. These side dishes are free, so it is considered bad taste to ask for refi lls.
your life short. Unlike in Japan, the host is allowed to serve his or her guests by picking food up from a public plate and placing the food onto the guest’s plate.
THAILAND Many would be surprised to know that Thai food is eaten with a fork and spoon (no knife). Usually, you use the fork to push food onto the spoon. The spoon is the only utensil that goes into your mouth. Also, do not eat the lemongrass stalks, lime leaves or ginger chunks in the tom yum soup.
I N D I A/ I N D O N E S I A M A L AYS I A/ Traditionally, you eat food with the right hand because the left hand is reserved for “dirty business.” As such, if utensils are used, they go in the right hand. Spoons are often used more frequently than forks, so you should switch between the two utensils, using the right hand.
PHILIPPINES
If a visitor happens to pay a visit during a meal, the host will invite the visitor to dine as well, but it is expected the guest turn the offer down. You must have good posture at the dinner table. Forks are usually held in the left hand to help cut up and spear food while spoons go into the right hand and are the primary utensil for scooping food to eat.
IN GENERAL
Use the utensils provided with family-style dishes. If no utensils are provided and you are using chopsticks, be sure to fl ip the chopsticks so the side that went into your mouth isn’t the side being used to pick up food from shared plates. It is also inappropriate to rest your personal utensils on shared dishes. If the teapot is empty, simply fl ip the tea pot lid upside down to indicate to the server that a refi ll is wanted. In most Asian countries, stabbing your chopsticks into food is rude, as it is a sign of death. Tipping is also considered rude.
VIETNAM Children should always insist that their elders begin eating fi rst. Typically, no one starts eating until the oldest person on the table begins. You do not usually talk during a meal. Small talk is reserved for tea.

Food pornography is the noblest of pornographic pursuits, but it is easy to make amateur mistakes with apps like Instagram at your disposal. The editing tools that these apps provide can make a photo pop, but putting a filter on a photo does not automatically make it good. Follow these rules to produce the finest food pictures.
Unless you are eating gold-plated marshmallow angels, there is no reason to be so proud of your meal that you need to pose with it.

6. B L U R RY
If you forgot to take the picture before you started eating, it is too late. The window of opportunity has closed. You’ve ruined the presentation. Just stop.
Being able to eat an entire plate of food is not something that merits congratulations or recognition. It isn’t food porn if you’re just showing the aftermath.
Crisp images allow people to see details. Blurry photos prove that you didn’t put on your glasses before you took the photo.
Instagram is possibly the most popular means of sharing your food porn with others. You can be a purist and post everything sans filter, but a good filter will bring out the colors of your meal in a way that a normal shot will not.

Lo-Fi emphasizes colors – if you have a dish with spots of color or contrasting colors, Lo-Fi will bring out the vibrancy of each.

3. C O L O R I S K I N G
The top-down inventory shot allows you to see the entirety of the dish’s presentation. You don’t want to be misleading about the size of your meal. Keeping at least ¾ of the dish in the frame is best for an accurate picture.
Choose one particular aspect of the dish that you want to highlight. The sauce that drips down the pork chop; the yolk of the eggs Benedict. It will give your shot character and make it stand out from the food amateurs on Yelp.
Color should dictate the shot. If the dish is brown and covered in gravy, it won’t be as attractive as a vegetable stir-fry or fruit-topped dessert. Reds and yellows are bright and will pop out at your audience.

WAFFLE S
M A N GO MOU S S E K IM CLARK Associate Chief Copy Editor
A RIEL R AMOS Special Issues Editor
In Bolivia and other tropical parts of South America, fruit is commonly found in desserts because of its abundant availability. This recipe, adapted from boliviabella.com, uses mango, but other fruits could also be used.
Waffles have roots to ancient Greece as well as a religious past when medieval bakeries devised ways to create treats that could be eaten during Lent. Those waffles were branded with coat of arms and religious symbols like interlocking crosses that gave the waffle its familiar honeycomb texture. Here is a quick recipe for fluffy, yet crunchy waffles.
I N G R E D I E N T S ( Y I E L D S 6 - 8 S E RV I N G S) : 1 1/3 cups flour 4 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar 2 eggs, separated 1/2 cup butter, melted 1 3/4 cups milk
DIRECTIONS: 1. Mix together dry ingredients.
2. Separate egg yolks and egg whites, adding the yolks to the dry ingredients and placing the egg whites in a small bowl to the side. VEGAN FEAST CATERING / FLICKR
INGREDIENTS: 1 can evaporated milk 5 egg yolks 5 egg whites 1 Tbsp lemon juice
2 cups mango 3 packets unflavored gelatin 1 tsp vanilla
3. Add milk and melted butter to dry ingredients. 4. Beat egg whites until stiff and fold egg whites into mixture. It is important to fold them in and not beat or mix. 5. Add mixture to waffle iron and cook.
DIRECTIONS: 1. PurĂŠe mango in a blender or food processor until smooth. Add the condensed milk and egg yolks, one at a time. Add lemon juice.
2. In a saucepan, cook the gelatin with about Âź cup water on low until it dissolves. Add to blender and blend. 3. Beat egg whites and vanilla until stiff. Fold that mixture into the blended ingredients. 4. Put mixture in a bowl and refrigerate for about three hours. Serve with mango slices.

Dining with the Land of the Rising Sun CAITLIN KURODA Features Editor When you think of Japanese food, a plethora of dishes and specialties come to mind – sushi, tempura, ramen and teppanyaki, just to name a few. With so many options, choosing what type of Japanese food you may be in the mood for can be difficult, so refer to this list for some of Honolulu’s most exceptional Japanese eateries.

1. M AG U RO Z A N M A I One wouldn’t expect to find quality sushi at a reasonable price in the middle of Shirokiya, but that is exactly what Maguro Zanmai, located between the takoyaki stand and the self-serve yogurt booth on the second floor, offers. This sushi bar prizes fresh fish, particularly maguro (ahi) served in various ways. Its best deals come from the donburi section of the menu. Order a bowl of rice with eight pieces of salmon sashimi and salmon roe on top or two bowls of
and sashimi to fusion creations and rice dishes, Gazen’s offerings are the perfect size for groups of people to share and sample. A must-try is the restaurant’s homemade tofu – normal, soymilk broth and black sesame seed – which comes in a sampler set for $12. No meal is complete without dessert, and Gazen’s are exceptional. Between sweet potato mochi with ice cream, and crème brulee, you won’t be able to choose just one.
round slabs of tonkatsu (deep-fried pork cutlet) that contain fillings, including cheese, garlic and black pepper. The katsu, served steaming and crunchy, is accompanied by a bowl of shredded cabbage and a wooden bowl of rice to share, as well as dipping sauces. The atmosphere is clean and welcoming, and the service will keep you coming back. The cost of eating here can run high (usually around $20 per entrée not including appetizers and dessert), but going for lunch makes the meal more affordable.

DINING GUIDE Cater to your Korean cravings JOSEPH H AN Associate Chief Copy Editor If you don’t have a Korean friend whose family can show some hospitality when it comes to cuisine, here are some places to consider for Korean dining.
1. Y U C H U N KO R E A N R E S TAU R A N T Even though you’re not supposed to, the next time you’re driving to town on Kapi‘olani Boulevard, take a “yuchun” to this place. Yuchun is known for its naengmyun, or buckwheat noodles served in an icy broth topped with a slice of meat and pickled cucumbers, and it is a chewy and refreshing dish. The seasoned and hot kalbi (barbecue short ribs) complements the cold noodles, and they go great when eaten together. Naengmyun is also offered in a spicy form mixed with kimchi, but don’t expect much from the banchan (side dishes) because they are not as various as at other restaurants.
2 . I R E H R E S TAU R A N T This place is ‘Ireh’-sistable. Ireh boasts healthy ingredients and traditional home cooking. Striving to provide comfort food, Ireh offers an array of jook (rice porridge), soups and mandoo (dumplings). The highlights of this restaurant include its spicy yet tasty tteokbokki (braised rice cake), which is fit for sharing and comes with rice cake and udon. Although Ireh mostly offers vegetarian dishes, its meat jun is crispy and good on its own without additional sauce. Also great on the menu is the patbing-
soo, Korean shaved ice topped with azuki beans, condensed milk, strawberries, mochi balls and rice powder, for dessert.
3. M I L L I O N R E S TAU R A N T This restaurant is one in a million. With multiple booths for do-it-yourself cooking, Million is an ideal place for group dining, offering sets that include enough portions of meat options, rice, soup and side dishes to go around. Specialties include its kalbi, sul lul tang (a beef broth and brisket soup including a boiled beef bone) and bibimbap (rice that is mixed with vegetables, beef, chili pepper paste and an egg on top).

T his 20 -seater Indian restaurant is always packed, and the wait time for a table can range from half an hour to more than an hour on busy evenings. T he dishes are f ull of f lavor, and the spiciness can be adjusted from mild to spicy, depending on your tolerance. Entrée portions seem small for the prices, but the naan, roti and paratha breads are large and can easily be shared among three or four people.

A short walk from campus, Café Taj Mahal was founded by a relative of the owners of Café Maharani. The upside of this tasty eater y being less well-known is that there is usually a short wait to be seated. However, due to having a smaller kitchen and only one or two cooks present, you may wait a while to be ser ved.

Gyudon, which literally means beef bowl in Japanese, is a popular dish that consists of rice, beef and onions. In Japan, it can be found in many restaurants, and some fast food chains will carry gyudon exclusively. If you’re craving a warm, comforting and simple dish, try this recipe out for yourself. INGREDIENTS: 4 cups steamed rice 1 lb thinly sliced beef 1 onion, thinly sliced 1 1/3 cup dashi soup
1 ripe mango 1 Tbsp sugar (optional)
DIRECTIONS: 1. Heat the coconut milk in a skillet and bring to a boil.
2. Stir in the vanilla extract and sugar. 3. Lower heat to low, add the sweet rice and cook until tender, constantly stirring. Sweet rice has a tendency to burn, so make sure to keep stirring. 4. When rice is soft and has absorbed most of the milk, scoop contents into a bowl and set to the side. 5. Dice or slice pieces of mango and top sweet rice.
5 Tbsp soy sauce 3 Tbsp mirin 2 Tbsp sugar Benishoga (pickled ginger, optional)
DIRECTIONS: 1. In a large pan, bring dashi, soy sauce, sugar and mirin to a boil.
2. Add onion slices and simmer for three to four minutes or until soft. 3. Add beef to the same pan and simmer for three to four minutes or until browned. 4. Put one cup of rice into individual bowls. 5. Serve beef on top of rice.

Mamma mia: Italian restaurants to check out CAITLIN K ELLY News Editor
1. B R AVO R E S TAU R A N T If you’re looking for good food in a laid-back environment, Bravo is the place to be. Located near Pearlridge Shopping Center, this family-style restaurant will fill you up without leaving your wallet starving. The fresh-baked garlic rolls are the perfect appetizer; they’re free and come with unlimited refills. However, don’t let yourself get carried away before ordering an entrée. The wide variety of pastas, pizzas, meats and sandwiches are sure to satisfy even the pickiest of parties.
3. SA B R I N AʼS
Sabrina’s prides itself on providing authentic, homemade Italian food. The wait can be long, but cards on each table explain that it is because of the care put into each dish. It’s BYOB, so if you bring a bottle of wine and some good company, the time will fly by. Entrees are rather pricey in the $15$20 range, but it’s well worth it on a special occasion. Try the gnocchi (potato dumplings), which are flavorful and cooked to perfection. This restaurant is within walking distance of campus, but make reservations before you go.

Rösti is a Swiss potato cake commonly eaten by farmers as a breakfast meal. In America this dish is called “hash browns” and is accompanied by eggs and some type of breakfast meat. While traditional rösti is made with only potatoes, modern variations include onions, apples, cheese or herbs. Rösti is now considered a side dish but can easily become its own meal with a little customization. Add meats, vegetables and seasonings according to your tastes for a personalized breakfast cake.
INGREDIENTS: 1 lb yellow potatoes 2 Tbsp unsalted butter 1 Tbsp vegetable oil Chopped meats, vegetables and seasonings to taste
1. Simmer whole, unpeeled potatoes in a pot covered by two inches of water for 25-30 minutes. 2. Drain potatoes, cover and refrigerate for four hours or up to two days. 3. Peel and shred potatoes with a coarse grater, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Add any other shredded or chopped ingredients and carefully mix in with a fork. 4. Heat one tablespoon of butter and half a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet until the foam is gone. 5. On medium heat, add shredded potatoes and spread evenly over butter/oil mixture. Press potatoes down with a spatula to make an even cake shape. 6. Reduce heat to low. Cook potatoes for 10 to 12 minutes or until underside is golden brown. 7. Slide potato cake onto a large plate, then place another large plate on top and flip potato cake onto it so that the browned side is on top. 8. Repeat step four. 9. Slide potato cake into the skillet with the browned side up, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes until underside is golden brown. 10. Transfer potato cake to a serving plate and enjoy.

DINING GUIDE SYDNEY CHESTNUT Staff Writer From a young age, sophomore first baseman and ‘Aiea native Leisha Li‘ili‘i had her mind set on becoming a member of the University of Hawai‘i Rainbow Wahine softball team. “It’s my dream team,” Li‘ili‘i said. “I wanted to play here ever since I was in intermediate. As soon as I got the offer, I took it; I didn’t care about any other school. I didn’t want to go away. My mind was set already on UH.” Li‘ili‘i has been a spark in UH’s offensive lineup since earning her recognition as Western Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year last season. She is the sixth player in UH softball history to earn this award. “She didn’t play first last year, all she did was hit for us,” head coach Bob Coolen said. “So when she was the WAC Freshman of the Year, all she had to worry about was three or four at bats a game. Now she has to
worry about fielding balls and having that presence on the field.” And Li‘ili‘i is putting up even better numbers this season, currently leading the team with a .324 batting average and 33 RBI. Li‘ili‘i is looking to add to her 10 home runs in the second half of the season. “I’m focusing on home runs right now,” Li‘ili‘i said. “My main goal is to hit at least two home runs per threegame series and to just keep a consistent batting average.” Li‘ili‘i has proven herself to be a valuable asset on defense this year. “We knew we would use her at first because of her physical presence,” Coolen said. “She’s intimidating over there. We throw it anywhere near her, and she gets it.” Although this is her first appearance in the Big West Conference, she has already made a name for herself in the batter’s box. “Every team we have faced so far respects her,” Coolen said. “From
Northridge to Davis to UC Riverside, teams [are] unintentionally [and] intentionally walking her.” But Li‘ili‘i said the best part of her college career this far has been her relationship with her team. “Generally just being able to share my college experience with a bunch of girls that I spend most of my time,” Li‘ili‘i said. “It’s good to have that connection with the other girls.” Li‘ili‘i has time to do more damage to the record books, but she has big plans beyond college. “Hopefully I will end up playing pro ball,” Li‘ili‘i said. “Like teams in Italy, anywhere in Europe, Japan. Anywhere that I have the opportunity to play, I’ll go.”
