For most Asian people, whose staple meal is cooked rice, having a meal without rice is like not having a meal. I remember one of my uncle, eventhough he had eaten kway teow for example, would still say he hadn't eaten - because he hadn't eaten rice yet 
When I first lived in Australia some 13 years ago, I went off rice completely. When people asked, I would say I had rice everyday all my life, now I want something different. My mum got a shock when she saw me buying a 500g packet of rice. Unthinkable to her, since she always have a 40kg goony-sack or rice at home.
But now that I cook most everyday, rice will be served now and again, at least twice a week. I cook rice porridge when I don't feel like cooking something elaborate.
How about you? How often do you eat rice?
