HOW TO EAT FILIPINO FOOD WITH YOUR HANDS |
Chinese use chopsticks, westerners use forks, Filipinos (traditionally, at least) use their hands.
1. Place a small amount of the main dish, called "Ulam", on top of a little bit of rice, using your dominant hand.
2. Pinch your index finger and thumb together as if you are about to pick up a piece of cheese.
3. Include your other three fingers in the pinch.
4. Spread the pinch so that your fingers and thumb are shaped around the rice and "ulam".
5. Place your thumb behind the food.
6. Lean your head forward and lift your hand to your mouth.
7. Place your fingers near your lower teeth and shove the food into your mouth with one big push of the thumb.
