The whole world is evolving faster than ever, with modernisation changing the way we communicate, live, learn and solve problems. One of the most obvious daily activities affected by rapid modernisation, even though we may not entirely realise it, is the way we eat.

Foods that are consumed every day may vary between individuals, and even during the course of one day for an individual. For example, in a single day, we may have a hearty Western breakfast, Malay cuisine for lunch, fusion fare for dinner and Indian grub for a late night supper.
