OT - Just a tip: Pay attention to what you say in asian restaurants. My friend was in there once and, not really paying attention, he mimicked how the waitress said 'fwied wice'. He's no racist, he's very socially conscious, and he would never do anything like that on purpose (he still gets embarassed when I bring it up), but yeah, things can happen if you're not paying attention.

Rice dishes served on a plate are eaten with a fork and spoon. Rice served in a bowl is eaten with chop sticks.

I am a chop stick expert and could use both hands to eat fried rice if I were so inclined.

I lived in Japan, where I ate everything with either my fingers or chopsticks (even Ramen).

Are you saying you ate Ramen with your hands? If you meant with Chop Sticks, that seems like a really bad example to emphasis your use of chop sticks since Ramen is one of the easiest meals to eat with chop sticks. Its like saying "I am an extensive world traveler, I have even been to NYC".

Fork? Chopsticks?

What is wrong with you people!

All the Chinese people I know use spoons to eat fried rice.

I'm far from an expert on Chinese cuisine but I second this choice for a good place in LV.

Yeah, all the Chinese restaurants at home (the good kind with dead piglets and ducks in the window, mostly Asian customers, and Chinglish menus) bring a spoon with fried rice. That or eat family style, bring your bowl to your mouth and shovel it in!

Damn, now I am all depressed as there's only dodgy english-style chinese takeaways here [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

ads,

"I'm surprised that this hasn't got any attention. Personally I think it would be really, really interesting to do this and see their reaction."

It didn't get attention because it was a retarded question. What are you going to do, give some Chinese guy who orders a steak some chopsticks? Retarded. Giving Chinese people chopsticks in a Western restaurant in a Western country is not interesting, it's idiotic.

Funnily enough, while going through my stand-up routine in the shower this morning after reading this thread, this was exactly the situation that presented itself. I got a big laugh from the crowd as well.
