• Hold Your Chopsticks The Correct Way

  I always reach for my pair of chopsticks when I tuck into my bowl of noodles and when I eat my Teochew rice porridge. Just like how Indian food tastes a lot better if you use your right hand to scoop up the delectable butter chicken and cheese naan in one moulded morsel in your hand, a bowl of rice just goes perfectly well with your chopsticks! Everyone holds chopsticks in whatever which way they fancy, but if you can hold your chopsticks the correct way. Hey, let's say why not!

  See, it is really not tough at all and pretty damn cool if you are a non-Chinese and is able to ching ching chong chong in your local Chinese Restaurant and show your Chinese friends you can do a great job at holding your chopsticks too. I have always held the chopsticks this proper way and have taught a handful of my friends because they asked me to, and everyone was able to pick it up quite fast with some good practice at home. I showed my Indian housemate in Perth how to hold the chopsticks the correct way and everyday after her dinner, she would eat her cut fruits using chopsticks and within a week, she fully mastered the art! Heh heh

   
  Good Luck Darling!
