QUOTE(afieQ @ Mar 10 2021, 08:46 AM) I use spoon, some food texture just feels gross on the hand When the food is soaked then it's gross. Also if the food is soaked with gravy meaning the liquid easy to travel in between your fingernails gaps and the food hence less hygienic than eating dry food with bare hands.

QUOTE(kuntilanak @ Mar 10 2021, 08:49 AM) i can eat fried rice with only chopsticks.  The traditional Chinese way of eating rice with chopstick is also eating with a small bowl, they scoop up the rice with chopstick while holding the rice bowl close to the mouth. Since most chinese nowadays uses dish to place their rice and do not hold up the dish next to their mouth, it doesn't make sense to try eating rice with chopstick anymore.

QUOTE(kuntilanak @ Mar 10 2021, 08:51 AM) on the topic of eating rice with hand, i actually asked a Malay friend about the reason behind it. She explained that if the food is too hot (temperature wise) to hold, then it is not suitable to put into your mouth. kind of make sense...  Why need to test food temperature with hand when you can also observe the food with eyes if it is "steamy" hot? You don't eat with hand and how many times did your tongue got burned as a result? None right?  The risk of getting burnt by food is when drinking soup when one is not careful. Last I check nobody test soup temperature with bare hands also....

QUOTE(pretty23 @ Mar 10 2021, 09:07 AM) human evolve to use tool instead of just use hand. True, that is how human were able to transcend beyond the physiological limit and gain the biggest advantage over animals.

QUOTE(tungfunglaw @ Mar 10 2021, 09:12 AM) Some claimed that eating with hand is more sedap which i've no idea why. Good food is good no matter using what to eat.  The main concern is hygiene, germs and dirt easily hid in the fingernails gap and almost impossible to clean thoroughly. Food soaked with gravy make it even more likely for the germs in the fingernails to travel onto your food and into your mouth.

QUOTE(KLthinker91 @ Mar 10 2021, 09:18 AM) Harrold may not be entirely correct But using hands is just fucking barbaric If I have to choose between fork and hands, I know which one I'm choosing, and that's not acting like a fucking caveman Not entirely correct That is peasant way. Educated way is to use chopsticks and pick up the rice, NEVER slurp from bowl. You think the Emperors, queens, concubines and eunuchs etc will "pa fan" like that? I don't know leh, do we have actual documentary video of actual Tongshan royalty eating rice?

QUOTE(ihm11 @ Mar 10 2021, 10:05 AM) ask amdk they eat pizza with knife+fork anot Pizza not soaked in gravy though unlike ppl eating rice with curry/gravy. The liquid gravy make it easy for germs in your fingernails to get into your food and mouth.
