Chopsticks Trick - to make a disposable chopsticks rest in a restaurant or hotel or holiday self-catering suites

Using Chopsticks' Ends

 If you have been given a pair of disposable wooden chopsticks in a restaurant, look to see if they have  a groove an inch or two from the top. If so you can break off the chopsticks at this point. Use the two short pieces parallel to each other horizontally on the table as chopstick rests.

Maybe the Chinese disposable chopsticks have the carved grooved ends. The plain ones form a Japanese restaurant in the UK did not. Nonetheless, a handy trick to know.

Using The Paper Wrapper

Alternatively, fold the paper wrapper in half lengthways. Concertina it. Make a depression in the middle to hold the chopsticks in place.

When ordering a meal from a restaurant, you might ask whether they will send you disposable chopsticks.

If one of your group uses regular metal cutlery instead, save the chopsticks for next time you order take away food from your favourite restaurant.

If you have no cutlery on holiday at a hotel or suite, order a take away meal from a Chinese restaurant which sends disposable chocpsticks. You can use the chopsticks for that meal or dessert or another meal afterwards.
