I like Italian food such as pizza or pasta. They are very simple and mild. And I also enjoy eating Vietnamese food especially rice noodles. I like the smell from mung bean sprouts. And I like Indian Nan bread. But my most favourite food is Korean food. It is very delicious, spicy but a bit complicate.d The dish I really like is japchae. It is cooked with various ingredients like meat, noodles, spinach, eggs, mushrooms and salt and soy sauce. It is the food that I would like to cook for my English friends if I go to London.
