I very rarely eat out for lunch. Whenever we go out for a meal it is more likely to be for dinner. We have some good hotels where they serve al varieties of meals, chinese, continental, intercontinental, thai etc. We go there some times. More often than not we go to a place which serves fast food.

Nope, not me. I always eat at home because we have food here anyway. Eating out for lunch isn't my thing because it's so hot that time I just want to stay at home. I do eat out for dinner a lot of times. My friends are more free for dinner as well so it's easier to plan a night out.

I work at home so I don't usually go out to the restaurant to eat lunch. I usually prepare simple lunch because the lunch is only for myself. I will cook complete dish in the evening because my husband will be coming back for dinner. I agree that nowadays many people go out to work and therefore they can't avoid but eat outside and most of the time restaurants are the places that they have to go. They can also go for the canteens, stalls, food-courts or telephone delivery. I think restaurants charge more than the usual places like food courts, stalls and canteens. Phone delivery charges for the services and usually the meals are a little more expensive than the regular places.

Hi, I am a mommy and at the same time I am working, My husband and I makes packed lunch in going to the office, we can both save a lot than eating out in the restaurants or in fast food outlets, I believe that if you have family to take care of, Saving is one big priority. :)

I will have lunch at a restaurant if meeting a friend otherwise I prefer making my own meals at home, it is much healthier and saves you money too.

Hi Wangkai...
Well, if I'm at work, I usually eat at the cafeteria. That's probably 90 percent of the time. The rest would be in restaurants.... I guess the only time we eat out is if we don't like the food in the cafeteria or we have guests or we need to do business outside.

If I'm at home or at work I usually make my own lunch from home and bring it in.
Sometimes though I do buy lunch just to have a little treat for myself.
I don't think take-away is healthy for you to always have.

like once a week .
eating at home is good . we can donging anyting we like during eating ,like waching tv ,and its more clean to eat at home .
but eat outside is more convinent,
there is no need to clean the table ,wash the plates,
and the flvour is ofen better than what we make at home .
maybe eating outside not so ofen is just ok.

Hi friend,
In our office we get lunch for free.It is compulsory for our office to give lunch for the employeers who work.If i don't like to eat there i go to a restaurant where i can eat a lot more.There is no special reason,it all depends upon my mood at that time.

I do not have lunch at restaurants anymore. When I used to work in the corporate world, I do get invitations from colleagues to hv lunch at restaurants but they were quite rare in itself. Nowadays, I have lunch at home. I think it is more nutritious having home-cooked meals.

I rarely eat at restaurants because I do bring my lunch from home to work. My wife cooks for me everyday. Most of the time she prepares it early in the morning and just leave it on the table for me to pick it up. On the other hand, if my wife cannot cook for my lunch, I go to a good yet budget meal restaurant. I really love home cooked meals.
