Any quirky food
dishes/combinations you have invented or love feasting on?
No! My only invention so far is what to eat, when to eat, how to eat and eat on repeat.
My take on:
KETO DIETS : I never feel fascinated by any kinds of diet. For me, it is like
“one life, eat and repeat”.

either. I am least bothered to fast and won’t suggest this to anyone.
FUSION FOOD CUISINE: Individuality
is better than losing the essence of it in fusion.
