Mmmm, yes. I’ll take this! (photo provided by Linda Ng)

I guess I can be a bit of a picky eater, but there are different food preferences for everyone, right?

I’ve already shared what my favourite foods are in a separate story. In this post, I’m going to share 7 foods that I really don’t want to eat under any circumstance.

You know I’m going to ask about yours too..😀

Olives

I can smell them and they are just awful to me. I can’t even be near them too much.

Shiitake mushrooms

I enjoy mushrooms, but not the black ones for some reason. Whenever I smell them, I want to gag! All other types of mushrooms are fine though.

Raw food

You’ll all know I love to eat Japanese food, but when it comes to sashimi, I’ll politely decline. I’ve tried it before and I hated the way it was so slimy. I just can’t stomach eating something raw.

Exotic meats

I go for pretty regular stuff, like chicken or pork. I rarely eat beef, unless I’m going for the occasional pho meal. In fact, I have really been choosing more vegetarian options lately.
