Expressing a food preference
Contexto cultural
Complimenting food is a major social requirement. If you don't say you like the food, the host might think you are unhappy. People may be more subtle. They might say 'Món này lạ miệng' (This dish has a unique/new taste) as a high compliment. Southerners are more direct and enthusiastic. Using 'mê' (crazy about) is very common. In overseas communities, this phrase is often used to express nostalgia for 'hương vị quê nhà' (hometown flavors).
Drop the 'Tôi'
In casual conversation with friends, just say 'Thích món này quá!' to sound more like a native.
Tone Matters
If you say 'này' with a rising tone, it sounds like 'nay' (today). Keep it low!
