One of my favourite joys in life is eating! I am a food lover and enjoy exploring different types of food and cultures. I love both sweet and savoury and generally have desserts after dinner. Cakes and cupcakes are my weaknesses.
My favourite foods are Asian (especially Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean and Thai), modern Australian (eg. steaks and chips), Greek and Spanish. I don’t particularly eat spicy or fatty foods as my stomach and taste buds cannot handle both!
Favourite dishes to order
Cooking
Generally, I cook three to four times a week, the rest of the time I eat out or order takeout. I try to be versatile and experimental by cooking both Asian and western foods. I hate cooking with a passion (not to mention grocery shopping!) and wish I was rich enough to hire a butler to cook for me on weeknights.
Dining out
Dining out is a big part of my lifestyle as I love exploring different types of foods, cultures, restaurants, locations, atmosphere and decor. One of the fun parts of eating out is getting dressed up. Who doesn’t like to dress up once in a while and enjoy good food and great company?
