I love food, and everyone knows about that in my community. I eat to gain more strength so that I can be able to perform certain activities.

Rice and beans are my favorite food, and I like to eat them all the time because they will improve my overall well-being. This type of food is so affordable in the market, where many people enjoy the good taste, and the flavor is amazing. Rice and beans have high nutritional value, which is essential to our lives. Combining these two, especially with brown beans, prevents constipation in humans. Every time I eat this food, I feel excited because then my stomach will be full to the extent that I will not be able to eat anything until evening.

During this Ramadan period, I used to eat this food many times after breaking my fast. The reason why I like this food is that it contains vitamins and protein, which are useful to our health. Sometimes we cook beans and rice separately and serve them together with cow or fish soup so that everyone can satisfied themselves.

How do you feel whenever you eat your favorite food, Do you always buy it or cook by yourself?

I always feel happy whenever I eat this excellent food because it helps me to have more energy to carry out various activities. I do both, but I always cook it with my family during the weekend, especially in the morning, because it usually takes time for the beans to soften. After that, we can add rice and salt. When it's ready, we can serve the members of the house. Although on normal days we use charcoal or an electric cooker to prepare the beans because using a gas cooker or kerosene consumes more.

We have different way of cooking rice🍚 and beans some people prefer to add everything up such as ground pepper, palm oil, dried fish and maggi while cooking. they do this to bring the aroma. Sometimes I buy it from food sellers on the street when I am craving for it. This occurs when I don't have time to cook at home. I just go outside to buy my favorite food.
