"We are what we eat."
Many Indian informants were saying that the 2nd or 3rd generation in Indians in Hong Kong were not being Indian enough, they might not wear sari except on special occasions, they might not celebrate the religious festivals seriously, it seems that food is one of the ways in which Indian identity could be established and traditions were passed on. and that's why I've posted this question here.
I am not trying to sayif Maggi is as good as a mother's cooking, of if all Indians likes Maggi. I am just trying to know why certain food would remind you that you are an Indian. I hope this would make the question more clear.
