    In Future, I think that fast food will not be label as burger, French fried and nugget. It might be our home-style dishes. For example, it might be nasi lemak, bak kut teh, roti canai and so on. As those dishes can be cooked by the machine which is preset. The customer just needs to press on that they want to eat with their finger. This is because people are required to be increasingly efficient and some of them are not willing to waste time waiting for the food to be cooked. Besides that, pre-cooked food and packaging food will be one of the choices of the people.
