Do you live to eat or eat to live? If we can live to eat, then that is a happy life. You can eat all the most wonderful food cooked by great chefs. You must be rich or well-to-do if that happens. However, people who live to eat are either sensible people who care about their weight or they are people who cannot indulge in luxury. The latter people are people who have to work to eat. Work to earn money, work to have money, and eat only when the stomach is too hungry.

I belong to the second group of people. Life is so stressful because I have two kids and a house to pay. All the prices of things are increasing like crazy every year. These are my views of my favourite food.

The TOP 10 foods that you like:

1. Durian
Durian is the king of all fruits, the all purpose wonder whole food, anyone can buy and eat. No need to cook, can be used for medicinal purposes as well as a meal to fill the stomach. It has excellent magical taste. You can read more about my views of Durian, everything about Durian at my site YrManna.com at one of the Durian Page: http://www.yrmanna.com/durian/

2. Mangosteen
Mangosteen is the queen of all fruits. It is sweet and succulent, and beautiful. Mangosteen are great for people who like to draw still arts. They are simply beautiful.

3. Water-Melon
Eating fruits are healthy lifestyle. The above two fruits are heaty. If I am feeling dehydrated and thirsty, I would want to eat water-melon. Any time of the day, a slice of water-melon or its juice are great.

4. Porridge
Rice is a wonderful food feed billions of mouth everyday. I like to eat porridge as they are simple and easy to cook. Whether you are sick or feeling stressed, the plain porridge can eat with anything.

5. Eggs
Century eggs, salty duck eggs, chicken eggs, quail eggs, all kinds of eggs I love to eat. Fried, boiled or steamed, they can be eaten alone, or with my favourite porridge.

6. Nuts
Peanuts, groundnuts, cashew nuts, hazel nuts are my favourite food too. Eaten with porridge or eat as snack. They provide our body with proteins and the essential minerals salts too.

7. Sweet Potatoes
I love to eat sweet potatoes with orange flesh inside. They are very sweet and delicious. They can be steamed or boiled. Eaten alone or cooked as desserts, they filled the stomach and opened your appetite if you cooked it with ginger.

8. Beans
The beans family is another great family for simple food. Green bean soup and 'Tau Suan' (green bean cotyledons) are my favourite dessert. Bean curd is another food which I like to eat which are made from soya beans.

9. Biscuit
Biscuit is the instant stomach-filler. Drink with a cup of Milo or Horlicks, it is a meal settled. I love to eat Lemon Puff and Cracker (butter or oats).

10. Water/Tea
Whether you love it or not, you have to drink for all your meals. So my food list here must have a drink. My favourite drink is water or Chinese Tea - no sugar, no sweet at all. This is what I like.

OR

10. Seafood
If the answer is not acceptable above, then my last food which I would like to put here is seafood. I love to eat seafood - abalone, fish(any fish - catfish, salmon, etc), oyster, prawns or shrimps, crabs, lobsters, cockles, clams and scallops. Merely steaming, boiling would suffice. I like the natural sweetness of seafood.

These are the list of 10 food in terms of priorities which I like. I would not want to write down all the food like Chicken Bolognese, Buddha Jump Over The Wall and so on. When one has no money, nobody can hire a chef to cook for them. Eating simple food and natural food is the best.
