Understood. A smaller portion of rice, correct? Please wait a moment.
Gesture & etiquette
Gently pointing at the rice portion on the menu or making a small space between thumb and index finger.
Do not demand a specific weight or gram measurement, as fast-food chains typically have set portion sizes for 'small' and 'regular'.
