      Oh, Chinese food, without a doubt. Broadly speaking, Chinese cuisine is the best because it is so diverse; there are so many regional specialities to sift through. Everyone can find something they like. You have xiaolongbao, steamed dumplings traditionally from Shanghai; you also have a kind of pasta with a tomato sauce, from Xinjiang, all the way in the west. My personal favorite dish would be zhajiangmian, a Beijing speciality literally translated as "fried sauce noodles"–noodles with a thick sauce of soybean paste and ground pork. Beijing roasted duck is also a favorite, though it’s a bit on the rich side; not something to eat everyday, that’s for sure.

      I also love "Italian" cuisine, but as I have never been to Italy, I can’t really speak for it. I’ve only had the Americanized brand of Italian food, which I hear is nothing like the actual cuisine. Japanese comes a close third for me, as it is so fresh and healthy… and I love seafood, which figures most prominently in Japanese cuisine.

      Fun question!
