Oh yea the glove, i forgot to write about it.
Well, in China people don't normally eat with their hands, it's considered really dirty. Even pizza comes with knives and forks and plastic gloves. I've tried to eat chicken wings with chop sticks because that's what everyone here seems to do.
So anything that requires hands to eat will usually come with a plastic glove. I could go on about how it's not always easy to find a sink to wash your hands in but I don't think that's the reason.
