Hi Syed, There are some people who can eat without dirtying there hands, but I have to admit that I use my left hand as a senser for items which are complex as you have mentioned. For other items simplly using spoon with some amount of guessing works.
For nudles, I learned one technique (I don't remember it's source), that one can put the fork in the nudle and then rotate it in such a way that all of the nudles sttrings are rapped around it to prevent strainge things hanging out of mouth. Finally, it is importtant to practice at home before trying out, and more important is to do what ever one does with full confidence.

It was somewhat hillarious, somewhat embarrassing After Christmas celebration in our college, I went to have lunch in our college caffeteria. Usually I bring my lunch box to college, but today I just forgot it at home. So, I and some of my friends went to caffeteria along with our Economics ma'm. Sitting on a seat in front of a circular granite table, I childishly said "noodles", when my friends asked me what I wanted to have. I gave the money to my friend, and he brought me a plate of noodles. It contained two disposable plastic forks, and boy, I thought this time I am caught! "No, not this time," I said to myself, "I somehow ought to give my best shot, best impression! and its going to work, somehow its going to work.". After thus assuring myself, I started on my own. I'm not going to narrate what happened then, but I ended up lying them that the food was not tasty and I then returned to classroom. First of all, it was embarrassing to discuss any kind of issue like this on the list, but I have overcome such embarrassment. As is the case, I would like to know some of your tips of using cutleries, like spoons, forks, knives etc properly, in front of sighted folks. Yes, one can always use their hands to have the food, but I think we too are entitled to eat "attractively". If not attractively, at least to save the time of washing our hands after the meal, we need to use such things.
