Meals are consumed with a fork and spoon, however, certain foods such as noodles are frequently consumed with chopsticks and sticky rice with fight hand fingers. It is advised that a little food be left on the plate to show you are full. If you eat everything on your plate, it is assumed that you are still hungry.
