Latest with a Chopsticks
Last night I had a moment with a pair of chopsticks. I was thinking on what to have for dinner. I was already hungry and the quickest thing to bite is to make some pancit canton. Some of the packets were already swarmed with ants so i cooked them them all – 4 packets. I was drooling while imagining that i would have a lot of pancit canton. Good thing Ma’am JD had some so i was not able to devour them all.
I started having mouthfuls of pancit canton using the chopsticks. I ate it the chinese way. I placed the noodles in a flat dish so at the end of the meal I was already having a hard time eating the last small amount so i used spoon. I smiled to myself because i started with chopsticks and ended with a spoon.
It made me recall that while in China, i don’t like having bowls as meal or dinner plates. When i invite people (friends and students) i like them to have a taste of how we serve food my way so i use plates. We use bowls for soup. Then they explained to me that chopsticks is hard to use when using a flat plate because they have a hard time picking the last morcel. Now i can understand as i have experienced it last night.
Over in China, i own more than 3 dozen pairs of chopstics and at least a dozen chinese bowls for meals.
Some said that chopsticks is a way for someone to eat very little that is why it can induce slimness. =) This did not happen to me. hehehe
