Thẻ ghi nhớ: 06 Food Cooking | Quizlet

Do you prefer eating at home or eating out?

I definitely prefer eating at home most of the time. Home-cooked food feels healthier, more familiar and usually more economical, which suits me as a student.

Do you prefer local restaurants or large chains?

I usually prefer local restaurants because they often offer more distinctive food and a stronger sense of local culture. Large chains can be convenient and consistent, but they sometimes feel less personal.

Has your taste in food changed since childhood?

Yes, it's become broader as I've got older because I'm more willing to try unfamiliar dishes. One thing hasn't changed, though: pho is still my favourite, partly because it reminds me of my great-grandmother's cooking.

What dish do you cook best?

I don't really have a signature dish. I'm better at simple home-style meals, and I care more about making something clean and tasty than trying to cook restaurant-style food.

What food do you particularly enjoy?

Pho is easily my favourite. I love the flavour, but it also reminds me of my great-grandmother, who used to cook beef pho for the family.

What makes a restaurant good in your opinion?

For me, good food, cleanliness, reasonable prices and a comfortable atmosphere matter most. I don't need somewhere luxurious; a simple restaurant with fresh food and polite service is more than enough.

What's your favourite flavour?

Chocolate, definitely. I have a sweet tooth, so chocolate-flavoured desserts and snacks are usually right up my alley. I don't have one specific type that I always choose, though.

Who is the best cook in your family?

I'd probably say my father. He has a very distinctive cooking style, and his grilled and braised dishes are especially good. I always look forward to eating whatever he makes when I'm back home.

Who taught you to cook?

My mother taught me the basic cooking skills I use now. My father is also a very good cook, so I grew up in a family where home-cooked food was normal and important.

Do you like cooking? Why or why not?

Yes, I do. My mother taught me to cook when I was young because she believed it was a basic life skill, and that has been very useful now that I live away from home.

How often do you cook?

Not every day, because my university schedule can be quite busy, but I do cook when I have enough time. I probably cook more when I'm at home with my family, because food is something we naturally do together.

How often do you eat at restaurants?

I don't eat out constantly because I usually prefer home-cooked food. When I do choose a restaurant, I care most about food quality, cleanliness and whether the place offers good value rather than being fashionable.

How often do you eat chocolate?

Quite often. I've got a bit of a sweet tooth, and chocolate bars or coin-shaped chocolates are the snacks I tend to reach for. I still see them as a treat, though, rather than something that should replace proper meals.

How often do you eat typical food from other countries?

Every now and then, but not very regularly. I'm still happy to try foreign food when I get the chance, especially if I'm eating out with other people.

Can you cook?

Yes, I can cook basic meals. My mother taught me some cooking skills, and my father is also an excellent cook, so I grew up in a family where home-cooked food was quite normal.

Do you think everyone should learn basic cooking skills?

Yes, I do. Basic cooking makes people more independent and gives them better control over what they eat, especially when they're living away from family.

Do you think people use chocolate differently now than in the past?

Yes, I think so. Chocolate is no longer just something people eat as a simple bar; it's incorporated into cakes, drinks, desserts and many packaged snacks. There also seems to be a much wider range of chocolate-flavoured products than before.

Is chocolate popular in your country?

Yes, I'd say so. Chocolate is easy to find in supermarkets and convenience stores, and it's common in snacks, cakes and drinks. It's especially popular as a treat or small gift, even if traditional Vietnamese foods are very different.

Is fast food popular in your country?

Yes, especially in cities and among younger people because it's quick and convenient. Vietnam still has a very strong street-food culture, though, so fast food hasn't replaced local food.

Is it expensive to eat out in your country?

It really depends on where you go. Local restaurants and street-food stalls can be very reasonably priced, so eating out doesn't necessarily break the bank.

Is there any food you don't like?

I don't have one particular food that I absolutely hate. I'm usually more concerned about whether the food is fresh, hygienic and suits my taste. If something looks badly prepared or overly greasy, though, I'd probably give it a miss.

Why do you like chocolate?

The simple reason is that I enjoy the sweet, rich taste, and it's an easy snack when I want something small. I don't need anything fancy; even a basic chocolate bar is enough to make a study break more enjoyable.

What kinds of food are most popular in Vietnam?

Traditional Vietnamese dishes are still extremely popular, especially foods like pho, banh mi and local noodle dishes. Street food is also a huge part of everyday eating here.

What kinds of food do you particularly like?

I usually prefer Vietnamese home-cooked food. It feels familiar, isn't too heavy, and I like knowing how it was prepared.

What kinds of food would you recommend to a visitor?

I'd definitely recommend local dishes from central Vietnam. I think local food is one of the easiest ways for a visitor to understand a place.

What kinds of restaurants are popular in your country?

Local Vietnamese restaurants and street-food places are extremely popular because they're affordable and familiar. Fast-food chains and international restaurants are also common, especially in bigger cities.

Have you always liked the same food?

Not completely, but pho has always been a favourite of mine. My great-grandmother used to cook beef pho, so it still has a strong connection with my childhood.

Do you prefer to eat fruit or vegetables?

I don't have a strong preference because I eat them in different ways. Fruit is convenient as a quick snack, while vegetables fit naturally into the home-cooked meals I prefer, so I wouldn't really choose one over the other.

Do you usually eat fruit and vegetables every day?

I try to include them in my diet, but I wouldn't say I follow a perfectly strict routine every single day. My main food habit is simply preferring home-cooked meals, because they're easier to keep balanced and less processed.

What makes food healthy for you?

Healthy food, to me, is mainly about balance and knowing what goes into the meal. That's why I like home cooking: I can choose the ingredients, control how the food is prepared and avoid relying too heavily on processed food.

What kind of fruit do you enjoy the most?

I don't really have one all-time favourite fruit. I tend to enjoy fresh, easy-to-eat fruit that works as a quick snack between classes, so convenience matters more to me than always choosing one particular type.

Did you enjoy the same type of fruit when you were a child?

I don't remember having a clear favourite fruit as a child either. Back then, I probably ate whatever was available at home rather than thinking much about preference, so my taste wasn't something I paid much attention to.
