Given the popularity of talking about favorites and everyone wanting to know what everyone else’s favorite dish or restaurant is, this post is going to be dedicated to just that.

Sushi is one of my favorite foods. So are pizza and pasta (especially the ones I had in Italy). And then there are also all kinds of yummy Chinese food — suckling pig, beef stew noodle soup, goose, etc. — all currently on my mind because of a recent Anthony Bourdain episode that featured some great eats from Hong Kong. Of course, Thai and Vietnamese food are also not to be left off my list of favorites; I sometimes dream about having duck curry or a bowl of ph? with perfectly half-cooked beef when I haven’t had them for awhile. Then there’s Mexican food — who doesn’t enjoy a good taco al pastor? Or even three of them?

While I have a list of restaurants I often frequent, I think it will be extremely difficult for me to tell you my favorite

one. I really enjoy K-Zo in Culver City with its ever-changing specials menu that offers you the freshest fishes of the day. But I also love going to Sushi King in Santa Monica because of its large slices of fresh fish. Just speaking of sushi alone, I can name 10 of my “favorite” sushi restaurants. (See the comments section from my last post, “First Stop of FIJI Hungry Gal’s Gastronomy Journey.” for a list of some of my favorite dishes & restaurants around the world.)

You see, as clearly depicted above, it’s hard to truly have a favorite food ora favorite restaurant. I have many favorites — for things ranging from sports to cities to everyday mundane products such as shampoo — but it’s always ONE of my favorites. The only product that I can think of where I truly have a favorite is bottled water. And that is FIJI Water. Even before I started working here, I treated myself to a bottle of FIJI Water once in awhile. It is the best-tasting water on Earth. It is a treat. It is an affordable luxury. It is my favorite bottled water, and not justONE of my favorites.
