kitchen sink: soap bubbles through drainer??

hi, I dont post much here but realised this forum could be a solution if some knowledgable members have any suggestions.
we recently got a kitchen fitted, and we have a sink with right hand drainer. (no middle small sink).
now, whenever washing up liquid is used, somehow the bubbles are coming up through the drainer too.
is there any reason for this and can it be avoided?
many thanks in advance!!!

Have a look at the bottle trap under the sink. At the outlet of the trap, do the waste pipes from this point continue to travel downwards and out to the drain ??
I have seen plenty of jobs where the plumber has created a second water trap by trying to feed the waste pipes into the existing exit hole in the wall rather than knock out a new hole in the correct position.
.....Very difficult to say without seeing what's under your sink.
Maybe you could photo it and send it over ?If only everything in life was as reliable...AS ME !!

hmm, I must say I am a complete layman with this kind of thing.
is there any particular thing i should look out for? just the pipes under the sink?
I will try to get an image.
I don't want to pay the builders until i know they completed the job properly.
I'm assuming this shouldnt happen?
thanks alot for the response
for what its worth, this is the sink anyway
