- Do you like eating cakes?
I do like eating cakes, as I have a sweet tooth (爱吃甜食的人)and love to eat anything that is sugary and sweet. I particularly like to eat cakes because I think all the different frostings and icings (糖霜)on cakes are so delicious. However, cakes are not very healthy so I try not to eat them too frequently.
- Have you ever made cakes?
I have not spent too much time making cakes myself. Making cakes can be a very complex and difficult process which I do not have a lot of experience in. However, my friends and I did once try to make a cake for our friend’s birthday. It was difficult and the cake was not very good but we had a lot of fun attempting to bake together.
- What desserts do Chinese people like?
There are many different desserts that Chinese people like, but the most popular in my opinion are red bean buns (豆沙包).These are soft and sweet steamed buns that are filled with a sweet red bean paste and are very popular with everyone I know. Other popular desserts are dragon’s beard candy, egg tarts and candied fruits.
- Do you like dessert?
I do like desserts from time to time, but they are not my favourite dish. I much prefer to eat savory (开 胃菜)and salty foods such as meats and curries. However, I do enjoy a good dessert every once in a while, especially if I am eating dinner at a restaurant. Desserts are lovely every once in a while, as a treat.
