I’m not even sure what that could mean. Maybe using chopsticks instead of a fork? I’ve always just eaten food with whatever utensil is typically used for that type of cuisine. I think most people, Chinese or otherwise, eat Chinese food with chopsticks, don’t they?
Yeah, I’ve definitely gotten looks for picking up bowls close to my face in the west. Normal for my household, but not normal elsewhere.
Even for not-chopstick dishes like soup or pasta or something, I just find it easier to hold the bowl close to my face, rather than having to lean forward so much over a table just to not make a mess. That shit is how people learn bad posture.
I keep meaning to make sticky rice at some point. I also tend to eat rice with chopsticks at Chinese restaurants, but anywhere else the rice is too loose

That’s just how you eat rice with chopsticks? How else are you supposed to do it without making a giant mess?
Western folks don’t usually hold the bowl and utensils so close to the face
