People From East Asia Share Their Post-Quarantine Restaurant Experiences To Show Westerners What To Expect

The coronavirus pandemic has changed more things than we think—especially the way people eat out in public now. Restauranteur, chef, and founder of Momofuku, David Chang, asked Twitter users from East Asia to share photos of what dining out and restaurant protocol are like now.

Lots of people were interested to share their post-pandemic dining experiences. While the specific rules vary from establishment to establishment and city to city, people described how the staff wear masks and disinfect cutlery in front of them, while customers can use free disinfectant for their hands. Some places still check customers’ temperatures as they walk in and have partitions to separate booths and people sitting at tables.

A few people also shared what the regulations were like immediately after restaurants and fast food chains reopened, and how these tough rules are slowly being rolled back. Scroll down to see what dining out in East Asia is like now, dear Pandas. And if you're living in the region, share your thoughts and experiences in the comments.
