  Not a survey, Just want to know how many SgForumers are particular about their dining etiquettes.
  
  1) Do you make alot of noise when eating?
  2) Do you chew on your food in a very "loud" manner?
  3) Do you play with your food and utensils?
  4) Do you shake and cross your legs?
  
  For me,
  
  1) I am very particular about the sound I make, I try to make very minimal sound which makes me eat very slowly, Except for soup and noodles where sipping sounds are unavoidable. And I do find that noise annoying.
  
  2) I make my chewing as small as possible, Meaning there is very little movement on my face although I am actually chewing on the food and I also keep my mouth shut when I'm biting on something.
  
  3) I am guilty of this, I always have leftovers which I play with. When waiting for food, Occasionally I will play with the utensils. lol
  
  4) Yes. Habit already..

  no, but depends, some food are unavoidable
  no
  not at all, what so fun
  no, but if im doin nth i cross/shake
  
  there are more to table etiquette like the use of utensils. Use communal utensils at all time.... I dont like people who talk too much while eatin. And play with food/mix em together and play and make alot of mess.. especially girls. Wait till all are present and then start eatin

  Yup
  
  Nope, at least i don't think so
  
  nope
  
  sometimes.
  
  i think the noise during eating is ok la. it shows food enjoyment and gives atmosphere. a silent meal is boring, don't you think? that's why i love bbq steamboat!
  
  but some don't like i guess.

  To be more particular about that.
  I put my right leg on chair, as i use right hand for chopstick. The reason i put my right leg up, is i can rest my right elbow on my right knee. Left hand hold the bowl. So i "kiap" many food into my bowl, and just stay at that position and put everything in to my mouth with resting my elbow on my knee.

  Erm...
  
  depends on the place of dinning... I do not care if eating in a pulic place like hawker center/kopitiam/market... but I do watch what I am doing in restaurant...
  
  But in Japanese restaurant, it is only polit to slip loudy to mean that the food is tastely...
  
  I do not play with utensil in restaurants...
  
  Regarding the crossing of leg and occassional shaking of legs... maybe... cos it was a bad habit...
