Totally Agree wth number 7,10,14, 17,18
Believe it or not. In Italy the new trend is to eat healthy like asian , tofu, seaweed, herbal soup, miso, stir fry veggie .
White here, those who prefer to eat steam rice and kankung belacan is considered as " kampungan" while those who eat "localized" western food ( as in french fries, anything fried or grill and anything with bread)and loaded wth tomato ketchup is considered as " modern" and "different"
