Cultural Difference between Asian and American

Recently we have an American colleague come over to our office for business assignment. She is a nice girl, friendly and outspoken. We have exchanged short conversation and learned that she is now holding U.S. green card, but her home country is Poland. She also told us that she is going to apply US citizenship and yet retain as a Polish. To my surprise, Poland allow dual nationalities. Before this, I do not aware of there is any country which allow dual nationality.

Anyway, that's not the main point of this posting. I am going to talk about some thing which myself find quite interesting for the American. For some reason, those Malaysian Chinese i knew or Singaporean like to bring their foreign visitor out for meal in the Chinese restaurant. I guess that because the Chinese are quite proud of their cuisine. Every time, when someone from us ask the guest how do they feel about the food. The typical answer is "yeah, i love it" or kind of... Nevertheless I feel this is just a answer out of politeness, I have gut feel they may not really like it that much. This time I am happy to heard our visitor say this, "... not like i'm going to offend anyone, but I prefer Indian food more..." I really like her honesty, and confirm what I suspect all the while could be true. I still remember when i was overseas posting to USA (Washington to be exact), I found many Indian restaurants around, and I think they are quite popular among the local American. Is there someone from USA can confirm that they DO really like Indian food more than Chinese food? If it really is, why they feel so, is it because the flavor more suit to their taste?

Lastly, i just attached a Poland picture to commemorate my recent friend's visit.
