Ethnographic method was adapted in this study that applied observation and picture taking techniques to achieve the targeted objectives. This enabled the researchers to gain valid information. The crucial element identified in the findings was that the complicated processes of producing the traditional dishes have been simplified. By using convenience products, they were able to avoid any complicated process. Time saving was the second element that can be found as foods can be prepared in a short time. The urban area was the third element as many youngsters are living in urban areas where access to get the original ingredients is limited.
