Am I understanding this right?

[samihu]

甘いものは好きなほうです。

That means "I like sweet things", right? I'm used to seeing "～のほうが～”, but I've never seen it like that before. Is it the same?

[WalterWills]

I think ”好きなほう” means a favourite/preferred choice.

I mean, literally I guess it means "liked way"...Not 100% sure though.

[Psy]

You're both correct. It's basically just another way of saying 甘いもののほうは好きです、meaning "I prefer sweet things."
