Topic: Food
Q: Tell me about your favourite food and your favourite cuisine?
A: My favourite food is meat, all of the meats. I love grilled meat but I don’t like fried meat. I really like Korean food including gimbap and bibimbap, as well as Japanese food, especially sashimi.
I think that Season 3 of A Bite of China is too commercial. There are too many advertisements. I prefer watching food programs on YouTube because they are more realistic.
