TOPIC 30 – EATING AT THE RESTAURANT
Christopher (English US)

- How often do you eat at a restaurant?
I eat out every month and often on the weekends. Whenever I want to get away from stress or have a meeting with my friends, the best way is to eat at my favorite restaurants.
- Do you prefer to eat out or at home?
I like both. I like eating at home because it saves me money, and it’s definitely healthier and better because I have more control over what goes into our food when we are in our own kitchen.
But eating at a restaurant saves me time, I can try a variety of new foods, and it’s convenient.
But if I had to choose only one, I would choose eating at home.
- Which is your favorite restaurant?
As I mentioned before, I am a big fan of seafood. So my favorite restaurant is definitely a seafood restaurant called World of Seafood near my apartment. Whenever I eat out, I usually go to that restaurant to enjoy seafood because the food is really fresh and reasonably priced.
- If you could open a restaurant, what would it be?
I’m really into seafood, so if I could open a restaurant, it would be a seafood restaurant. So I would have more choices for enjoying seafood every single day. It would be wonderful.
- Have you ever been to a restaurant in another country?
Yes, absolutely. Last year, my family and I went to Thailand to travel. I’ve been to several restaurants in Bangkok and Pattaya. But what impressed me most is a restaurant called Thai Seafood. Because it provided a variety of seafood, including crabs, shrimp, oysters, and many local cuisines. We had a really great time enjoying the food at that restaurant.
