+ginoskotheon, Great catch! Yes, each episode has a Chinese version and an English version. The Chinese version will go on TV and it's usually longer. You could find all the videos here ruclips.net/user/ntdfoodpradise
The Chinese chopsticks you have in this video is exactly the one i am using at home in Vietnam. Personally i found it hardest to use the Korean chopsticks. It is almost impossible to pick up any food with it.
Never had any problem with them. Never felt slippery. I like metal ones 'cause wooden ones are so light. And it may be because I've almost always used metal ones but I think flat ones are easier to handle since round ones are more slippery.
This is informative. I didn't know they had different kinds of chopsticks depend on where in Asia you are. Most pairs of chopsticks that I have seen are light brown wooden chopsticks with square tips on the thicker end, which as you taught me in a previous episode, are used as a booster for the thinner tips which you use to pick up the food and eat with. I am guessing that it is done this way to prevent germs from getting onto the thinner tips that you pick up the food and eat with.
I thought Laotian and Thai eat with hands in the past and now eat with spoon and fork when it is introduce by Westerners. They are part of the Indosphere, not the Sinophere. Vietnamese are culturally East Asian and part of the Sinosphere so that's why Viet used chopsticks, and they literally used Chinese chopsticks.
This was so interesting! I have all three types of chopsticks in my home, but never knew why they were shaped differently. Thank you for the clarification.
Philippines 🇵🇭 also uses a kind of chopsticks. A bit longer than our Asian neighbours. But we don't use it for eating. We use it as a weapon. We call it Arnis.
historically I think thailand laos and Cambodia didn't use chopsticks and just used spoons and fork like westerners. in ancient times because they were influence alot by Indian merchants they would eat as Indians would and use the hands and fingers. then Thais decided this was unsanitary and began to use western utensils. chopsticks is something new to them or at least for the older generation and mostly stems from Chinese origin.
I’ve heard that you should hold the chopsticks backwards to remove food from the pot, and turn them around for eating from the plate. Is this a regular thing?
There is a country right down China having used chopsticks for 1000 years and having their own chopsticks’ features but always be forgotten, Vietnam. Just hope that there will be videos including them too in this kind of comparison
Actually chopsticks using in Indonesia is Considered to Chinese chopsticks besides using bare hands and western dining utensils (spoon, fork, and knife). Actually I have Chinese chopsticks in my house and I am using these everyday. But I consider love Korean ones because it is more hygienist than Chinese and Japanese ones.
Hi CiCi. Interesting information! I have a question: Are the chopsticks of Southeast Asian counties unique in any way? Thailand, Cambodia, Laos? Do they worry about death as much? (just kidding).
Hi! I hope i can answer your question! Im from Malaysia, and because malaysia is a multicultural country, the chinese are actually one of the Big 3 races in malaysia. So the chopsticks that we use are the Chinese chopsticks. From what i have been taught, it is rude to stick your chopsticks in the middle of the rice, because that symbolises praying to the dead. In conclusion we dont “worry” about death, but its rude to do so😄
I made the mistake once at work (at the time a Japanese ramen shop) of putting the chopsticks into the bowl at the end of the meal. The lady who owned the place (my boss) started crying. Apparently it signals dissatisfaction with the meal. Oops. The food was and is still quite lovely there.
Chopsticks were developed about 5,000 years ago in China. The earliest versions were probably twigs used to retrieve food from cooking pots. Around 400 BC, chefs figured out how to conserve fuel by cutting food into small pieces so it would cook more quickly. This new method of cooking made it unnecessary to have knives at the dinner table-a practice that also jibed with the non-violent teachings of Confucius, as expressed in one of his numerous quotable quotations: "The honorable and upright man keeps well away from both the slaughterhouse and the kitchen. And he allows no knives on his table." During the Chinese dynastic times, silver chopsticks were sometimes used because it was believed they would turn black if they came in contact with poisoned food. This practice must have led to some unfortunate misunderstandings-it's now known that silver has no reaction to arsenic or cyanide, but can change color if it comes into contact with garlic, onions, or rotten eggs, all of which release hydrogen sulfide. By 500 AD, chopsticks had spread to Japan, and Korea. Early Japanese chopsticks were used strictly for religious ceremonies, and were made from one piece of bamboo joined at the top, like tweezers.
Okay, but more detail re: Korean chopsticks. In my experience they don't grip the food (b/c they're metal) and even my Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese and Cambodian friends are at a loss when it comes to trying to use them, b/c they're flat and evidently have to be handled a different way...
Iirc they symbolize death in different ways too. Chopsticks stuck in rice is like how you give it as an offering to the dead so giving it to someone alive is like saying "you're dead to me". I don't know about the other two though.
You get used to it after awhile. If you still can't do it, I've seen people learn with a small rolled up piece of paper in between the two sticks at the very top. Just tie it in with a hair elastic or a small rubber band. It keeps the sticks together and it's easier to eat with for some people I guess. I personally couldn't learn that way but my friend could.
I have always a my chopsticks with me. Not the first time i went to a reception and they give you something in a cup without fork or spoon. If asked oh you can eat it like that? How on earth can i eat a salmon mousse out of a plastic cup? My husband laughed when i pulled my chopsticks out of my handbag, while others reacted surprised. Always handy. But i had my mousse😉. The man who organised it was not happy with the fact his guests had no utensils. But found my way of solving it quite funny.
with the chinese chopsticks, i have the same ones at home. my mum thinks they were my grandmas from a pen pal in china. we’re not 100% sure if they are, but if they are they’d be the only things of my grandmas i own. it was interesting knowing the difference between the types of chopstick and i’ve always been curious about it but have never looked it up before.
I don't know much but here in Vietnam we used similar chopstick to Chinese one however I think Vietnamese Chopstick is a bit thinner also I don't have any issue with those death rule,..e.tc
It used to be made of silver or bronze, but now it all in stainless steel. It's most eco friendly when you think about number of trees are cut down to make wooden chopsticks. It is made think to make it feel not too heavy so one need more practices to use them.
I've tried Korean metal chopsticks before. Everything tends to slip off and it's hard to grip stuff with it. Wooden Korean chopsticks are easier to use.
Wooden chopsticks are superior to any other when you eat noodles, it really tends to slip with plastic or metallic ones. I have seen metallic ones in China as well but never in Japan.
WinterSonata Bamboo grows pretty quickly and growing bamboo acts as a good carbon sink. It would probably take up more energy and resources to make stainless steel chopsticks than bamboo ones.
Eating with chopsticks the wrong way around symbolizes death. Ramming the chopsticks through another person's eyes symbolizes death. Nah I'm just messing around... 🙃
Well Im Korean and I listend chopstick-death symbol fist time in this clip; chopsticks on the left side of spoon is death. But We have soup/stew dish must be right side of rice becuz left soup and right rice use only rites for ancestors.
I mainly use Chinese lacquer bamboo chopsticks to eat with but I have 5 pairs of Japanese metal chopsticks and a pair of Japanese lacquer bamboo chopsticks too made by the same company that made my Chinese chopsticks but they were both made in japan cause I got them from a Japanese snack seller on eBay edit: I prefer the chinese ones cause they pick up the most noodles 😂
Your chopsticks is same as mine too it’s Chinese because I’m Chinese and Cantonese and I don’t have Japan chopsticks because Japan chopsticks is sharp on down and I don’t have Korean chopsticks too because my family said it’s heavy so I can’t use Korean and Japan one
Me, I'm a Chinese chopstick man. Learn how to use them properly. A set in each hand and you can eat anything from a grain of rice to a salads, chicken drumsticks, steak and fish. Just have a Chinese soup spoon handy for liquids. A great invention!
i just broke the Japanese chopsticks don'ts...cause i have Japanese chopsticks and i crossed then ✖ and...i feel ashamed of myself ;-; i would like korean chopsticks cause my Husband lives there...he just doesn't know he's my husband ;-;
So much chopstick death
You have to cross them and spear them in rice on the good side of the spoon. Did I get it right?
Just like the fork, haven't you heard the old saying drop a fork on a crack and you break your grandfathers back.
Getting chopped I'd bet
stop i'm wheezing
My goodness, this video is just...filled with death.
I think it is safer to say that this video was to die for.
hahaha^^
I just realized that in the video you're speaking Chinese. That means you must have a Chinese language version somewhere. . .
Yes, she has a Chinese channel 美食天堂 if I remember correctly
+sorg3ns Thanks! You're awesome.
+sorg3ns, thank you in helping me to answer this question! :)
+ginoskotheon Don't mention it home slice 😁

Bosco Fan I agree that
agree with that. hard to eat noodle with korean chopsticks
Korean chopstick you need hand muscle.
Never had any problem with them. Never felt slippery. I like metal ones 'cause wooden ones are so light. And it may be because I've almost always used metal ones but I think flat ones are easier to handle since round ones are more slippery.
+김상윤 Are you Korean? That could be why. A lot of people jokingly say that only Koreans can properly use Korean chopsticks.
This is informative. I didn't know they had different kinds of chopsticks depend on where in Asia you are. Most pairs of chopsticks that I have seen are light brown wooden chopsticks with square tips on the thicker end, which as you taught me in a previous episode, are used as a booster for the thinner tips which you use to pick up the food and eat with.

DEATH!
What about the porcelain? Which country uses porcelain /ceramic chopsticks more?
chopsticks = death! :P hahaha
This comes at a perfect time, Cici. Thank you very much!
What do you use to cook or to eat?
Japanese chopsticks?

Nobody in korea cares about where the chopsticks is later at
I’m glad I clicked on this video, I feel like it was some serious information with the placement of the chopsticks
can anyone please tell me the right size or hight of a korian chopstik.🙏
Which type of chopsticks vegetarians should use???
Please answer fast.
Are flat ones better, or more popular than the round ones?
I have a question... Please answer!
I think that in Chinese series, they don't use Chinese chopsticks...
I think they use Japanese ones...
So much death about chopsticks. geez and i thought knives at the table are supposed to symbolize deadly things.
I’ve heard that you should hold the chopsticks backwards to remove food from the pot, and turn them around for eating from the plate.
Is this a regular thing?
Can someone tell me the authentic length for a Korean chopstick?
Where can i get a set of the Chinese chopsticks like the ones you have?
Chinese supermarts usually carry a variety of chopsticks. You could also check out Amazon. ☺️
There is a country right down China having used chopsticks for 1000 years and having their own chopsticks’ features but always be forgotten, Vietnam. Just hope that there will be videos including them too in this kind of comparison
Are their diferent sizes depending on diferent hand sizes
Chopsticks usually come in one size. There are also kids size available. Enjoy!
.. And last but not least, Chopsticks should not be used with hands, because that symbolizes death.
I loved all three type s of chopstick
Actually chopsticks using in Indonesia is Considered to Chinese chopsticks besides using bare hands and western dining utensils (spoon, fork, and knife). Actually I have Chinese chopsticks in my house and I am using these everyday. But I consider love Korean ones because it is more hygienist than Chinese and Japanese ones.

The first don't is also true in Japan. The only time it's acceptable to leave chopsticks sticking out of a bowl of rice is at a funeral
Neat info!! Thanks you 😊
Glad that it’s helpful! 😊

okienative oh wow. I guess you apologized haha
really? I had pho with my japanese friend and we both kept our chopsticks in the bowl for hygienic reasons. We enjoyed the pho.
What type of sound created when she said about japaneese chopstick 1:40😛😛
why is death always mentioned in this clip?

Korean metal chopsticks look more slippery than other two.
They are! I literally can't even eat with them and they're so flat
You have to use Korean chopsticks when you have a Korean food there are a lot of reasons why we use those kind of chopsticks in Korea.
Korean chopstick. Korean use it as weapon. Koreans use spoon to eat.
Maybe that's why they have the spoon
@@koreanpeninsula8972 wtf no lol
Okay, but more detail re: Korean chopsticks. In my experience they don't grip the food (b/c they're metal) and even my Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese and Cambodian friends are at a loss when it comes to trying to use them, b/c they're flat and evidently have to be handled a different way...
Cool thanks!
Iirc they symbolize death in different ways too.
Chopsticks stuck in rice is like how you give it as an offering to the dead so giving it to someone alive is like saying "you're dead to me".
I don't know about the other two though.
Lovely information dear
eating wit chopsticks is HARD
it is easy, ok, i am asian.
You get used to it after awhile. If you still can't do it, I've seen people learn with a small rolled up piece of paper in between the two sticks at the very top. Just tie it in with a hair elastic or a small rubber band. It keeps the sticks together and it's easier to eat with for some people I guess. I personally couldn't learn that way but my friend could.
i hate chopsticks
I have always a my chopsticks with me. Not the first time i went to a reception and they give you something in a cup without fork or spoon. If asked oh you can eat it like that? How on earth can i eat a salmon mousse out of a plastic cup? My husband laughed when i pulled my chopsticks out of my handbag, while others reacted surprised. Always handy. But i had my mousse😉. The man who organised it was not happy with the fact his guests had no utensils. But found my way of solving it quite funny.
Did anyone hear jiraya's wooooo when she started talking about Japanese chopsticks 😂
You know what else means death? If I had to survive by eating with chopsticks.
with the chinese chopsticks, i have the same ones at home. my mum thinks they were my grandmas from a pen pal in china. we’re not 100% sure if they are, but if they are they’d be the only things of my grandmas i own.
it was interesting knowing the difference between the types of chopstick and i’ve always been curious about it but have never looked it up before.
I'm very glad that you find this video useful and thank you for sharing your chopsticks story with me! ☺️🥢
@@CiCiLi can you tell me which chopsticks I use 1st??
I am beggener and I want to learn how to use chopsticks????
I used Japanese chopsticks, It takes for me to practice these round pointy sticks from Japan.
My favourite thing I learned in this video is There’s a lot of death with chopsticks 😂
😆 somehow it’s true…
they do be sharp and pointy tho
I don't know much but here in Vietnam we used similar chopstick to Chinese one however I think Vietnamese Chopstick is a bit thinner
also I don't have any issue with those death rule,..e.tc
Thank you for sharing your opinion with us! ☺️
you are so knowledgeable
Korean chopsticks are metal? Sounds like they'd be less wasteful because you can reuse them safely.
It used to be made of silver or bronze, but now it all in stainless steel. It's most eco friendly when you think about number of trees are cut down to make wooden chopsticks. It is made think to make it feel not too heavy so one need more practices to use them.
I've tried Korean metal chopsticks before. Everything tends to slip off and it's hard to grip stuff with it. Wooden Korean chopsticks are easier to use.
Wooden chopsticks are superior to any other when you eat noodles, it really tends to slip with plastic or metallic ones. I have seen metallic ones in China as well but never in Japan.
Antoine Chauvet Think of tons of trees need to be cut down to make chopsticks, we have to think about saving trees and saving planet too.
WinterSonata Bamboo grows pretty quickly and growing bamboo acts as a good carbon sink. It would probably take up more energy and resources to make stainless steel chopsticks than bamboo ones.
a lot of death is involved with chopsticks hmm I'll just use a fork
Very interesting! Thanks :)
With correct way of holding the chopsticks, you can easily pick up a grain of rice or a tiny fish bone. Try that with the Japanese ones.
When I cross the chopsticks lighting will happen. Got it.
Eating with chopsticks the wrong way around symbolizes death.
Ramming the chopsticks through another person's eyes symbolizes death.
Nah I'm just messing around... 🙃
Chopsticks should not be cleaned, because that symbolizes death.
DUDE LMFAO. And therefore you have to taste previous meals while eating with your filthy chopsticks.
Chopstick in brain symbolizes death.
Very interesting. Will not stick them up again or put them to the left of spoon!!
Good to know...thanks CICI
In Thailand we have the exact same Chinese chopsticks you have in the video.
Thai people eat using hands.
@@oo3819 Yes and sometimes we use chopsticks for noodles too goofy ass nigga
Moral of the story: Don't symbolize death
I like the Japanese chopsticks
This reminds me of an episode of the Simpsons where Abe Simpsons was seeing death everywhere and going "Deeeeaaaaath!"
😂
now that was a cultural experience
Omg the death
Cici你是哪里人啊
地球人
are you sure?
Everything symbolizes death, haha it was funny
I use chopsticks so hard for me
Almost everything means death.., I'm sticking with my training chipsticks....
Please make in hindi🙏🙏🙏
Well Im Korean and I listend chopstick-death symbol fist time in this clip; chopsticks on the left side of spoon is death.
But We have soup/stew dish must be right side of rice becuz left soup and right rice use only rites for ancestors.
I love Japanese chopstick
☺️👍
I mainly use Chinese lacquer bamboo chopsticks to eat with but I have 5 pairs of Japanese metal chopsticks and a pair of Japanese lacquer bamboo chopsticks too made by the same company that made my Chinese chopsticks but they were both made in japan cause I got them from a Japanese snack seller on eBay

Thank you for sharing your experiences with the different chopsticks with us! ☺️🥢👍

Your chopsticks is same as mine too it’s Chinese because I’m Chinese and Cantonese and I don’t have Japan chopsticks because Japan chopsticks is sharp on down and I don’t have Korean chopsticks too because my family said it’s heavy so I can’t use Korean and Japan one
Koreans throw chopsticks like daggers.
rip earphone users
Interesting video though!
Thanks ! I will show this video to my PRChinese friends who no longer know about proper chopstick etiquette. Communists dont know about these things.
I have the Korean ones😁🍜

I would hope that ivory is not being used to make chinesechopsticks
dollar tree korean chopsticks. 1
Japanese and Korea steal Chinese chopsticks😭
Your skin....wow. beautiful
the korean one is so weird ih fun fact in chinese prison the inmates stealin chopsticks from the cafeteria sharpen it to make a great prison weapon
Me, I'm a Chinese chopstick man. Learn how to use them properly. A set in each hand and you can eat anything from a grain of rice to a salads, chicken drumsticks, steak and fish. Just have a Chinese soup spoon handy for liquids. A great invention!
Exactly but only if the meat is cut with a knife before eating if not it's a mess. haha
Now, you see the difference...
IT SYMBOLIZES DEATH
There is certainly many symbols of death.
Give me
Should include Vietnamese
Chopsticks of death!!!
i just broke the Japanese chopsticks don'ts...cause i have Japanese chopsticks and i crossed then ✖ and...i feel ashamed of myself ;-; i would like korean chopsticks cause my Husband lives there...he just doesn't know he's my husband ;-;
SYMBOLISES DEATH
Everything you eat is dead or in case of Korea about to die :D so the death symbol is very appropriate when eating haha
Cute
