"Choping" seats with a packet of tissues is a unique and widely accepted practice to reserve a spot while ordering.
用餐巾纸"占座"是一种独特且被广泛接受的做法，在点餐时用来预留位置。
There are over 110 hawker centres across Singapore, serving affordable meals from multiple cultures.
新加坡有超过110个小贩中心，提供来自多种文化的美味平价餐点。
The phrase "Is this seat taken?" is essential before sitting down, even if a seat looks free.
即使座位看起来空着，坐下前问一句"这个座位有人吗？"也很重要。

Try this : At your next group meal, pretend to "chope" a seat with your phone and see if your friends understand the system.
试试看：在下次团体用餐时，假装用手机"占"个座位，看看你的朋友是否理解这个做法。
