I prefer home cooked meals. I like to eat out every once in awhile but wouldn't want to do it all the time like so many people do, besides i think it's very expensive.

I like home cooked meals because I can ensure that it is clean because my mother cooks it for us. You can also save money in cooking meals at home than eating out. You can eat as long as you want and you are satisfied of the food that your mother or wife cook for you because it is cook with love.

Even i do cook always at home only for my family, as eating out is not very cheap and that too i'm not sure about the hygiene as far as kids are conserned. But we try to eat out atleast once.. But here in singapore, there's a trend of food courts, that do povide nice and cheap food, and most people here do not cook even a single meal at home.

Cooking everyday at home, and that too eloborate meals is not possible. Even for me sometimes the meals are as simple as just fried rice with curd, or simple kchiri with pickle and papadams, or any other simple and healthy..

Don't care much where I eat as long as I don't cook it and it is fun and tasty.

I usually prefer cooking food at home because it is cheap healthy and hygienic.But if you can get food cheap and good then there is no harm in having outside .But that can be only now and then .not daily.

But here with singaporeans its very common to have outside meals daily, they sometimes even do not cook a single meal in a day... Even i prefer home cooked ones...

I like to eat out, especially in a quiet small restaurant, which provide nice, healthy and cheap food. But actually, eating out could hardly be cheap, compared with home made, for a retired couple. And delicious food is usuall cooked with too much oil and spices. What is more, there we tend to eat much more than at home. Therefore, for the sake of our health, eating out must be strictly limited, at most once a week.

Yep you are very much true about the oil and the spices.. That's really unavoidable, even if you do find out some clean, hygenic as well as cheap resturant..

I like to eat out but you can't beat a home cooked meal. Sundays is always the day my family cooks at home for the whole family. I enjoy my mom's cooking also, she has very good idea's so I go to her house every chance I get. But if you want good roast or pork my mom's is the place I would go. Yeah for home cooked food.

Even i totally agree with you, but you know here in singapore there are "food courts", and its food is so so popular among singaporeans, that some don't even cok a single meal at home.. They are located at every nick and corner of singapore..

Hi there! Yes, I will still choose to eat home cooked meals especially if it's my mother, husband, grandmother or aunts that are cooking. They are really great cooks. And now, even a couple of my cousins are turning out to be great cooks too. There's nothing like a surely clean and delicious meal at the comfort of your own home.

Home cooked food has nothing to equal.Let it be cheap and healthy but an outside food is cooked generally for the public and it shall not suit your stomach always.Anything when sold will be profit oriented and we can't expect it to be healthy.Whereas home cooked foods are done with love and care and uniquely for us and so I will vote always to it.Cheers!

i would still choose to have a home cooked meal... i feel that it is more special if you cook it yourself for your family...it shows your care and love for them... eating out is also good but not always, my husband and i do eat in some restaurants but just once in a while if i am really tired and feels lazy to cook, but most of the time i really do cook our food and he appreciates the food more if i am the one who cooks and prepares it...he feel more comfortable with it and feel secure more...

I prefer home cooked if it is not me doing the cooking and cleaning up afterwards. I love to eat out for that very reason. I work so much that I now tend to look for quick meals like bbq and takeout.
