I am mystified as to what is "disgusting" or "gross". This is not significantly different from taking a dish from a commercial wok with a large wok scoop and plating it. All that is going on is that they plate it in front of you and the scoop is a little bigger.
It is also normal for most Asians to eat family style. Food is rarely served as individual meals for each diner. No troughs involved.
