That's a tough one, choosing a favorite food! I can definitely relate to the love for Chinese and Italian - they're both classics for a reason. Chinese food is amazing for the variety, you can go from light and veggie-focused to super flavorful and rich. I especially love getting a big group of friends together and ordering a whole bunch of dishes to share - family-style!
Italian food is just pure comfort food for me. A good plate of pasta with a simple tomato sauce and some crusty bread? Perfection. I also gotta admit, I can't resist a cheesy pizza - the more toppings, the better, in my opinion!
Indian food is fantastic too, with all the complex spices and flavors. I totally get you on it feeling a bit heavy though. I find it's best to balance it out with some cooling elements like raita (yogurt sauce) or cucumber slices. Maybe next time you have Indian food, try a lighter dish like a lentil soup (dal) or a veggie curry to see if it feels less heavy?
