As an Indonesian Chinese, I find it pretty dumb when people use chopsticks for certain foods. For example, rice. If it’s chunky rice that easily heaps together, the go ahh east and use chopsticks. If it’s rice that doesent clump together, then use a spoon or hands. Cheers!
Yes especially if spoons are available! Luckily, since I'm lazy to use two different utensils sometimes, the rice I make is usually a little sticky so I can just use chopsticks haha
Sticky rice in a bowl is so much easier with chopsticks tho. I can shovel a bowl into my house if I need to or pick up any amount I want. Spoon feels like so big and unweidable.
@@Bobbobbob984 I definitely opt for the spoon if I’m eating the sticky rice with soup or sauce, but chopsticks are so much more versatile to use
On top of being able to pick up as much as we want, I can also easily go back and forth between my rice, my meat, and my veggies
ALSO, it saves time and energy washing more dishes 😅
That isn't how I hold a pencil. No wonder I wasn't getting it from written and line-drawn instructions.
Just like with chopsticks, there isn’t a truly “proper” way to grip a pencil it seems! I grew up holding a pencil this way, but I’ve seen different people with all kinds of funky pencil grips haha
I’m glad you could learn it through visuals this time! Hope it helped :)
I'm more 'used' to chinese style chop sticks. I used a korean set once and found myself consistently turning them off-bias, and even perpendicular to each other. I didn't know chopsticks had different profiles beyond the grip tip styles until years later. That being said, giant soup spoon should be used for everything that will fit in giant soup spoon. Cereal? Spoon. Rice? Spoon. Tuna slice? Spoon. Measuring ingredients? Giant soup spoon, baby.
I find myself preferring to eat different foods with different styles of chopsticks sometimes! I find it a little hard to eat Japanese ramen with Korean chopsticks cuz it slips, despite primarily using Korean chopsticks otherwise.
Also, giant spoons need to be everywhere. Personally, food tastes better when I can put more on my spoon 😂
Like 51 nice sharing🎉
woahhh i’ve actually learned a lot more from you and all this time i thought i was just bad at using different kinds of chopsticks and i’m glad to put this into future use! thanks! keep this good work up!
Thank you so much for your comment. I hope I can continue to bring value through my videos!
Also, I’m really bad at using melamine chopsticks that Chinese or Vietnamese restaurants have 😭 whenever I need to eat noodles, they slip right off. You’re not alone if you feel that way!
Maybe it's me being a little nitpicky, but I think it's still good to keep in mind some disrespectful gestures when using chopsticks, for example, stabbing your chopsticks into your food upright (I grew up in a Chinese family and this is one taboo). Of course, to me, it's okay if you didn't do it intentionally, but if you do know it, it might be better to just keep it in mind and not do it! I do agree though, there's no need to use chopsticks for everything, even I sometimes get lazy and just use a fork haha.
Great video though, really enjoyed it!
Yes I agree with you! I have a habit of not stabbing my chopsticks into food upright because of the taboo originating from Taoism. And because I do know it, I don’t do it haha
That’s why I encourage everyone to learn about all kinds of cultures so they can learn what to do and not to do in every situation! However no matter the culture, I find myself correcting people when they stab chopsticks in their food cuz it just doesn’t feel right 😂
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment. I really appreciate it!
Is doing the walrus appropriate in formal settings?
What do you mean? I'm pretty sure it is the ONLY appropriate chopsticks grip in formal settings
great video, keep it up.
Thank you so much. I'll try my best!
at first i was like because clickbait but then i was like cause if i believe anything its that no one cares about most things
thank you so much for watching the video though! I hate clickbait myself but as a small creator, I wanna test out some strategies to get my content out there! it’s tough out here 😭 grateful for every click ☺️
@@kuriouskero no hate homey, the bait worked i clicked 😁
@@ptainjade LOL thank you so much 😭
I did like the video but the video quality is very low. Super obvious thing to say but I hope you can get a better camera soon - your on camera speaking is very comfortable :) !
Also would like to note it might be lighting/focusing of the camera that is the issue.
@@lemo4youow321 Thank you so much for the feedback! On my side, I don’t see any technical issues affecting the video quality to make it as low as you say.
However, I’ll do my best to improve the video quality as well as the content, which I think is the most important!
