Food & Communication

Food is any substance, usually composed of carbohydrates , fats, protein, water and sometimes fiber, that can be eaten or drunk by us for nutrition or pleasure. But have you ever think of that food can brought to communication not only within the country but also the whole globe. Food can be different types and tastes that influenced by one’s country traditional, cultural, custom and environment. These different cultures brought to various of cuisine so that we have Chinese cuisine, Indian cuisine, Malay cuisine, Western cuisine and etc…

I just get Malaysia for all my narrate afterwards. Malaysia was composed by multiraces and the three main races in Malaysia were Malay, Chinese and Indian which already brought to three different cultures. So can you imagine still have how many cultures of others in Malaysia out of these three. Different cultures means different cuisine and what can I said “ Malaysians were such a good luck by bestowed with gourmet’s luck to enjoy various of food! ” Through these gave us the opportunity to know our friend from different races and background more better and learn about their custom to avoid “ something ” happened without what we meant to be.

Besides, some of my friends from different races, they are enthusiasm and like to make friend. Food is the good way for them to learn about each other. For example, such as family gathering, they often have a small gathering and each of them cook for a dish and bring some new friend together. In this gathering, they share many thing with other such as their cultural, experience and point of view. Due to this communication, we gain our knowledge and build a new friendship.

Like I always said that “ Food not only food, it also plays on other FUNCTION ”. Food not only to fulfill our hunger but it also plays a role in communication especially now. It communicated one country to others. ( Example : import and export ) When the standard of living enhance, the requires on tasty food will also increase. I hope one day in the future, I will get the chance to travel around the world and taste on different cultures cuisine. Furthermore, to meet different people and experience on their living style.
