I am a Singaporean with a British husband. You a absolutely right. I was very surprised when I noticed my sister and mother-in-law are doing this way.😮😮😮
When i moved to australia in 2007, the 1st time i saw my colleagues did the washing and they had bubbles running off the plate at the rack. I asked "did we not have to rinse it off", the angmoh replied " its fine". From then on, every time before i use any plates or utensils i actually rinse it under the hot water. What they do is, they'll make up one side of the sink, filled it with soap and hot water, put the plates in, use the sponge go over it the plates and straight onto the rack with the bubbles still popping as it runs down.
Yes, I was horrified to see that when I was in UK for a year. Indeed as u described, the way they 'washed' their dishes. I feel like I wanted to help them rinsed away the soap. They didn't seem to have a stomach or poisoning problem though
My Aussie friends do that all the time and sometimes I struggle with eating off the plate when I know the soap has not been washed down like how we asians do it. They have a warm/hot basin with soap and they rinse off in it.
I remember when some families first started using washing machines, they also said that it wasted a lot of water. Nowadays it has become part of a household appliance, just as the refrigerator.
One of my sisters married a British & we were horrified that he just leave the soapy plates on the rack to dry without rinsing off. My sis said they used to have endless quarrels over the Angmo & Asian way of washing plates. But now she will sneak into the kitchen & secretly rinse off again when he goes to bed 🤣
Where I am in Brisbane, Australia, they use 2 basins. One filled with soapy water to wash and another filled with water to rinse off the soap. I'm still using the old fashion way of washing and rinsing off the soap. Yes, uses more water but at least I'm assured that my plates and crockery are clean. No soap and residue oil. I still wish to have a good dishwasher because if I'm really busy, I can put in 2 loads of 3 people's plates inside. Turn on the dishwasher for the night and let it run.
I was in college in London during the early 70s. This was how my boyfriend's mother did the dishes and I was helping her. I didn't ask her why, thinking it wd come across as rude but I did ask my bf. He was surprised so he asked his mum why she didn't rinse off the soap. She didn't answer him. Just gave him a look. My sons live in Australia so Im going to ask them if they rinse their crockery but then, they use dishwashers and I haven't really noticed them handwashing any dishes. But ya, will ask them!😅
That’s what came to my mind just now, who knows they are using a different kind of soap that doesn’t need rinsing? Because I think nobody normal people will like the taste of soap lah 😅
True, I witnessed this "washing style" of the British people when I stayed in London for 3 years. Every single one of them whom I saw for myself, rinsed their plates like that. Maybe the other Europeans practise the same style, a young Dutch couple flatmate washed their crockery like that. I remember asking once why do they not rinse off all the foam before wiping the plates dry.....the answer I got was something like "no need at all, shouldn't waste water"😮 So till today, I remain baffled, can only say they've got different(dysfunctional) hygiene standards and... taste buds 😂!
Not only british n Australians, New zealander as well. Honestly, cant really taste the dish detergent lah... It has been like that throughout their history, no issue at all
My hypostasis is, by inadvertently consuming residual dishwashing solution, it’s probably One of the reasons why Europeans aged less gracefully than Asians. 🤔
You should wait at least 10 mins to rinse out the toothpaste after brushing so the fluoride has time to strengthen the teeth and preserve the enamel. Unless you’re 8 years old or younger, of course

So it means when they bathe, they also don’t wash off the shampoo and soap?

rinse one more time - some people scared their plate cupboard got lizard or what get on the plate.....so rinse off one more time before use.
In Australia mainly Australians of British origin, - us Asians rinse our plates as per normal.
Rinse again before use because it is left out in the open where dust can land. And possibly nasty insects crawling (and pooping) over them
If you use the same plates every day, there's no time for dust to settle on the plates.
English cuisine needs additional flavors !!!
They used biodegradable detergent. That is what I know. I don't understand it too.
😂 I saw this same thing from a store in the food court. It spoiled my appetite.
no wonder cancer is rising

it's the old school ang moh style
Dishwasher is a life changer for u similarly, Laundry dryer is also a life changer for me too 😂
Did anybody ask the ang-moh, "Why no need to rinse the soap away ?"
Do they have the same practices in restaurants and eateries?
Lemon Flavour added to the food...why not?

I know my friends in London used a different type of dishwashing detergent.... definitely not ordinary type

You should find out for us why they didn’t rinse away the soap 😂

Maybe it's not soap. It look like soap but actually it's vinegar... ???
Kim huat, When u say "soap-ing" the plates, "soap" is a verb? So u use the soap (noun) to soap (verb) the plates issit?
Korrect
They don't wash dishes any more - they use dishwashers.
Are they washed before use? If so, that would be fine.
Nope
@@mrbrown - Unbelievable.
Well they like the soap to help clean their internals with every meal 😂
Wash with Mama Lemon and running water.🎉

this is almost similar to people who tell us - after brushing your teeth, just spit out the toothpaste, but don't rinse.
You should wait at least 10 mins to rinse out the toothpaste after brushing so the fluoride has time to strengthen the teeth and preserve the enamel. Unless you’re 8 years old or younger, of course
@@zelineteo2that’s what my dental hygienist told me. But I don’t want to swallow flouride.
@@stargazerbird you just spit out the excess toothpaste and rinse out your mouth after 10 mins la
Some angmo also don’t rinse their mouths with water after brushing, they just spit out the toothpaste and that’s it
Yalah!! Very Lah Sam!! 😂😂 And Barbaric!! Red haired ghosts!!!😂😂😂
