A study to better understand Asians' food and dining habits was recently carried out across nine countries in the region - China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
Conducted by international appliance company Electrolux and Readers' Digest, it is the first-ever Asian food and dining habits survey and the largest carried out in Asia so far.
We take a look at the survey results to find more about the cooking and eating habits of Asians.
