Table Manners III: Do you eat European or American-style...
I eat in my own ambidextrous style. I cut the meat with my left hand and use the fork and eat the cut piece with my right hand. When using chopsticks and eating soup with noodles or something I'll also hold the spoon in my left hand and the chopsticks in my right. No switching needed! People should just learn to cut with their non dominant hand, it's much less time consuming in my opinion.

Snapshots from Asia: Why Are Italian Noodles So Much Pricier than Chinese Ones?
Funny you mention jook sing, which also means an American born Chinese person who doesn't speak Cantonese, if you hear a person being described as "jook sing.". Jook sing means a type of bamboo that is yellow on the outside but white on the inside. I honestly didn't know that it was used to make noodles before this post and had only heard the phrase used in conversation; being a jook sing myself haha.

abaaa: I only recently learnt of the term "jook-sing!" In Australia, we use the term "banana" -- yellow on the outside, white on the inside -- to describe a "Westernized Asian" or, more sadly, "an Asian who has lost him/herself."

mandabear: That's disappointing! Guess I'll just have to go and hope for the best (darn monopolies!).
HK Expat: I think you're talking about "mee pok" and "Hokkien noodles" -- two of my faves =)
