Common Questions and Sample Answers

Do you eat healthy food?

If I’m honest, I would have to say that I never used to eat very healthy food, but in the past few years I’ve become more aware of what I eat and what healthy and unhealthy habits I have. Sometimes, though, fast food is just so convenient, and I live a busy life, so I often opt for the easy choice rather than the correct choice.

What sort of food is available in your city?

There are a wide range of foods available in my city, as I live in a large metropolitan area where it's possible to sample cuisines from around the world. Personally, I prefer eating fresh, local food in independent restaurants near to my workplace and home. I’m not a big fan of chain restaurants like McDonalds.

What are some of the famous dishes in your country?

Hmm…well…I would most definitely say that Pho is the most popular food from my country, as its famous around the world! There are plenty of culinary delights that my country offers though, some of which I would argue are superior to Pho, at least in my opinion! Two good examples would be Com Tam or Bun Bo Hue.

Apart from that Vietnamese coffee is very famous. Most people here, including myself, drink it on daily-basis. It is sweeter and stronger than typcial western coffees. I always think it tastes like chocolate!
