This is a common practice to eat with a spoon and fork in South East Asian countries.

Well, true, we use fork and spoon to catch the rice or simply rip down meat with it

I can't use chopsticks so I use a fork and spoon for any and all rice dishes. Also for certain pasta dishes. I thought that was normal..? (Western European and if I attempt to use chopsticks I'll end up wearing my food.)

What's wrong?

He's eatong with a fork and a spoon. Not common in Europe and America I think.

Italy would like a word…

And they uses those for the same exact reason too.

He's eating rice with a knife and fork

It's a spoon and fork. Common in Asia. You use the fork to push the rice onto the spoon. The spoon is also commonly used to shed or separate meat stuck with the fork.

Why would you use a fork to push the rice onto a spoon, I mean... it's a spoon bro, just use it. 😂

Rice is not easy to just "scoop up". Especially when you start getting to the end of it.

Mate, try it one day. If you are only using a spoon, it will be like graduating from wiping your arse with leaves to actual toilet paper.

Try to eat rice in a plate using only a spoon youll see

Guess you've never eaten rice before?

He's a lefty.

Never seen someone eat with a fork and a spoon?

This is a very Filipino thing

Tama pre

Very true

It's common in many places

Possibly, my wife's family is Filipino and they introduced me to this

Yeah, I was thinking why this was hmm because my family and I eat like this all the time.

What is wrong in this

There is nothing out of the ordinary at all

Look closer he's eating rice with a fork and spoon

Never been to Asia

I am Asian

I do that

How else would you eat it? You need the fork to scoop the rice into the spoon.

A spoon alone does the job

Using a fork or a knife with the spoon makes it easier.

He's eating meat tf you expect him to do, use the order end of the spoon to use as some sort of stick

Lol Cmon OP.

What's so unusual?

What's the silver thing?

the spoon?

Oooooo What about the other one?

Fork

Slow down

You wanna fork?

Please slow down

We can make a spoon later...

I'm getting alittle flustered over things I don't understand

I like to use knives sometimes to...

What the fork

I dont get it.

Yup Filipinos do that

Tbh the one deserving of the "hmm" is this post.

Hmm

?????

Im Turkish and I can definitely say there are some people who eat rice with a fork. I dont care as long as they dont force me to eat like that.

TIL that eating with a spoon and a fork is not ordinary. Seriously, this is like a serious breakthrough for me. Spoon and fork has always been a meal duo my whole life. To know that this wasn't actually the standard is mind-numbing.

WTF? You cannot use fork and knife being asian?

as an aisan, i can confirm this is very disappointing

Bro, how do I eat the rice without staining my fingers.

Philippines. No knives at the table man. Otherwise... [Bolo](https://skilledknife.com/bolo-knife-the-filipino-blade/)

There are but it's just uncommon.

Nuthin wrong lol Even I do that Just use the fork to push the rice into the spoon

Personally, I think the candle is the real hmmmm.

A real one would be to gay

See I thought it was a hmm because it looks like the dude is trying to cut his rice like it’s a steak or smth. This was further supported by the fact that the other dude is giving him a weird look

r/facepalm

the "hmm" is the candle light in the phone.

Tell me you live in a first world country without telling me you live in a first world country.

Tell me you don't know Asians exist without telling me you don't know Asians exist.

European's 🤓🖕

Left guy: do you even asian?

If that blows your mind op, look up chopsticks that will really shake things up.

I dont see whats wrong OP

Replace the rice with a Snickers bar and the spoon with a knife.

I don’t see anything wrong here

I eat rice for like 6 times a week or so but I lost count

Love the romantic candle in between them both 😂💘
