Question: Do you usually order the same thing or try new dishes when you visit a restaurant?

Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: It depends on the restaurant and my mood.

Reason: The reason why I might choose to order the same thing is because I enjoy the dish and want to savor the familiar flavors, or because I know it is a safe choice and don't want to risk trying something new. On the other hand, the reason why I might try a new dish is because I am feeling adventurous, want to explore different cuisines or ingredients, or because I have heard good reviews or recommendations.

Example: For instance, when I visit my favorite Thai restaurant, I usually order the same dish, Pad Thai, because I know it will satisfy my craving for a delicious and familiar taste. However, when I visit a new restaurant or one that specializes in a specific cuisine, I like to try something new and exciting, such as a fusion dish or a specialty item.

Alternative: Additionally, some people may choose to order the same thing because they have dietary restrictions or preferences, or because they want to compare the consistency and quality of the dish over time.
