Rectangular shape of plain rice

The plain rice was served in rectangular shape. Rare !

It was seldom see the serving like this. This is a Thai food restaurant. Mostly restaurant serve the plain rice in the round shape. Creative !

Chinese like to serve the rice in round shape. It significant all the way will be as smooth as round shape. Mostly they will put the rice in the small bowl and press a bit, to make the rice had no space between each other. It will make the rice stick together also and the shape is formed.

Then they will put the plate on top of the small rice bowl which had been pressed. Carefully over turn the bowl and plate. Just take out the bowl and we can see the beautiful round shape of rice on the plate.

Somehow in the house, most of them never really follow this kind of serving. Nowadays, they seldom use bowl, Chinese spoon and chopstick to take rice, but instead of that they use the western style of fork, spoon and plate.
