In my country we are eating rice and rice noodles as our dining main course. I am living in
Hong Kong which his called city of cuisine. Why people call this name to my country? It is
because there are many countries cuisine you can also find it. This essay will introduce what
food and eating habits changed in my country and suggest some reason for the changes.

Twenty years ago, we are eating steam rice for our lunch and dinner. That become our main
diet for our lives. Until the globalization started, there were many other countries
restaurant comes into our country and started to run their country cuisine restaurant. For
instance, Japanese, Indian and The USA. There were so many types of food are here. Sussi,
Pasta and Burger these things are new things for us. Then the few years later, every food we
have already ate. We lost our original food and eating habits, we just care about the taste of
the food.

Novelty of the food, increasing consumption level and globalization are the main reason for
the changes. Firstly, there are no many other countries cuisine in our country 20 years
before. The restaurant limited the type of food to the local people. The local people only can
eat what the restaurant provided. They haven’t a lot of choice. Therefore, when the
restaurant offers a different menu to others, the people must be try the new things. That
makes people to change their eating and food habits. Secondly, rice and noodle in our
country is kind of lower cost food and easy to make. At the present time, the people get
more income. Their consumption level is increasing, they can order the food they can’t
order before. So, they are changing their food and eating habits.

Plus, globalisation is the most main point that change the food and eating habits. There are
many visitors to come to our country. Then the restaurant wants to cater the visitor,
therefore to provide some food from their countries. That makes the local people can also
experiment with their country cuisine. Day by day, someone like Italian food someone like
Japanese food. We have our own favourite food. So that the eating and food habits were
changed.

To sum up, novelty of the food, increasing consumption level and globalization are the main
reason to change our food and eating habits in my country. To change our favourite diet. At
the moment, we are confuse that what is our traditional food and our original eating habits.
