Sit at the table with your bowl on a small plate, chopsticks or fork and spoon at the ready. Some Cambodians prefer chopsticks, some prefer fork and spoon, but both are usually available. Each place setting will include a small bowl usually located at the top right-hand side for the dipping sauces.
When serving yourself from the central bowls, use the communal serving spoon so as not to dip your chopsticks or spoon into the food. To begin eating, just pick up your bowl with the left hand, bring it close to your mouth, and spoon in the rice and food.
It is polite for the host to offer more food than the guests can eat, and it is polite for the guests not to eat everything in sight!
