It's the country/culture you live in. In most parts of South-East Asia cooking at home is uncommon and a massive street food scene emerges (tiny kitchens factor in to this).
If you can stand the humidity - move to Singapore! No rockets required, just jet airplanes.

- imsaw 5y agoLike everywhere in the world, it still depends on where you live. In capital cities, the working people sometimes live alone in their own/shared apartment, so cooking for yourself is less preferred since food stalls are affordable and almost everywhere. But in small cities or villages, you usually live with your main family or even your big family, so it's cheaper to cook in large batches at home everyday. I'd also confidently say (I'm Indonesian) that almost all house has a rice cooker, so you could count that as cooking right?
- harpratap 5y agoA lot of my friends and colleagues in Japan rarely cook at home. Food from convenient stores, supermarkets is often good, cheap and healthy here
- legerdemain 5y agoIt's true, a lot of working-age people in Japan basically live on food from vending machines and 7-11 stores. I wouldn't call it healthy, though.
