Question 1: Let’s talk about food? What’s your favorite food?
Answer: Well, I would say that I’m not a picky eater and I can eat like the whole universe. But if i have to choose, I would definitely go for Vietnamese traditional cuisine because although it does not win any points for complexity, it is all about the combination of fresh ingredients, intense flavours, and ease of cooking and preparation, so it wins my heart.

Question 2: Are there any food you dislike?

Question 3: Do you have a healthy diet?
Answer: Actually, I don’t. But I try to eat clean and eat green everyday because highly-processed foods or low-quality foods are linked to obesity and an increased risk of heart disease, and in some cases, cancer. So it’s vital for me and for everyone to stay healthy by eating clean in order to not only manage your weight but also help you build a stronger immune system and increase your energy levels.

Question 4: Who does the cooking in your family? Why?
My mother does all the cooking at my home. I guess I am blessed for having such a talented mother, who happens to be a retired cook. I have always had some sort of a fitness plan, but my mother's home-cooked meals somehow have stood in the way, so I suppose I just have to live with that.
Từ vựng hữu ích:
- Bless(v): phù hộ -be bless ed to: may mắn có được điều gì
- Fitness plan: kế hoạch tập thể thao
- Stand in the way: cản đường, cản ai khỏi việc làm gì
Question 5: Did you learn how to cook when you were younger?
No, actually I didn't learn how to cook when I was a child. I grew up with working parents, and they were always up to their ears, so cooking, let alone teaching me how to cook, was nearly impossible for them. When I was small, my meals usually rotated around fast food, frozen food and takeaways.
Từ vựng hữu ích:
- Working parents: bố mẹ là người đi làm
- Be up to their ears: bận ngập đầu
- Rotate around: quay xung quanh
- Takeaways: đồ ăn mang về
Question 6: Do you think Vietnamese people's diet is healthy?
Yes, a lot of Vietnamese people pay attention to the food we eat, and many of us like eating soup or vegetables. I think that's pretty healthy. But I have to admit that nowadays because of the fast pace of life, many people have to choose junk food for lunch, which is usually not healthy.
Từ vựng hữu ích:
- Pay attention to: chú ý đến cái gì
- The fast pace of life: nhịp độ nhanh của cuộc sống
Question 7: Do you like tasting new food?
Yes, whenever I travel to a new place, I always try my best to find the famous local food to have a taste. Most of the dishes are incredible, except for some spicy Thai tom yum paste I tried when I was in Bangkok last summer. Let just say that it is the type of food that can haunt me for life.
Từ vựng hữu ích:
- Have a taste: nếm, thử một món mới
