The food I liked most was BAK KUT TEH (Pork Rib Tea Soup ). Bak kut teh is a Chinese soup popularly served in Malaysia, Singapore, China, Hat Yai of Thailand. The name literally translates as "pork bone tea", and, at its simplest, consists of meaty pork ribs in a complex broth of herbs and spices (including star anise, cinnamon, cloves, dang gui, and garlic), boiled together with pork bones for hours. However, additional ingredients may include offal, varieties of mushroom, lettuce, and pieces of dried tofu. Light and dark soy sauce are also added to the soup during cooking, with varying amounts depending on the variant. Bak kut teh is usually eaten with rice or noodles, and often served with youtiao (strips of fried dough) for dipping into the soup. Soy sauce (usually light soy sauce, but dark soy sauce is also offered sometimes) is preferred as a condiment, with which chopped chilli padi and minced garlic is taken together. Chinese tea is served together. Bak kut teh is typically a famous morning meal. There are numerous variants of bak kut teh with its cooking style . In Singapore, there are three types of bak kut teh. The most common variant is the Teochew style, which is light in color but uses more pepper in the soup. The Hokkien, who prefer saltier food, use more soy sauce, which results in a darker soup. The Cantonese, with a soup-drinking culture, add medicinal herbs to create a stronger flavoured soup. What is the food you like most? Please describe.

I cannot name the foods that is consumed in India. They sound too foreign to anyone. I like vegetarin foods, with soups and desserts. The main item everyday one definitely consume is rice and chapathis (made out of wheat flour) with curry.

I love almost all of the Mexican food. I love to eat tacos, burritos, taco salad, nachos and many more Mexican food items. I could eat it every day of the week. All of the Mecican food that I eat, has to have jalepeno or some other hot peppers on it too.
