    One thing that always fascinates me as a Filipino is how people of other cultures seem to be stumped on the spoon and fork combo of utensils.
    Like, how in the world is using a spoon to scoop rice harder than using fork for them?

    • @woojinbloo44
      @woojinbloo44 2 місяці тому +1

      It's what they're used to. You can say it's their norm or even part of their culture (not using forks and spoons). It's the same for us when it comes to fork and knife combo which we very rarely use.

    The most possible explanation why knives were not encouraged to be used during meals must have originated among the Spaniards being scared those sharp objects would be used to butcher them.

    Random fact about the no knife thing. When the Spanish arrived in the Philippines they taught us how to use spoon, forks and knives... probably to make us more "civilized". After they colonized us they took away knives to take away possible weapons that the people could use.

    Actually, just as you eat suman (sticky rice) with mango, you eat dinuguan with a steamed rice cake (Spelled p. u. t. o. I will not type the word out because it gets my comment deleted). Kabayan pork barbecue is really good. It tastes like the pork barbecue that I had at Aristocrat in Cubao so many years ago. Son and I ate at the Kabayan Restaurant (not the Turo Turo. The restaurant is on the other side, fronting the Turo Turo.). Lumpia Shanghai, Pancit Bihon, Pork barbecue (2 pieces) and chicken barbecue (2 pieces) all totalled only $55. Then I bought ube flavored steamed rice cake and 4 cups of ube champorado at Sariling Atin store.
    I wish you had a glimpse of Gwapa (Tagalog borrowed from Spanish, meaning beautiful) Salon. I'm curious about their hairstylists and what their customers usually expect.
