partial to
Having preference for
Partial to means having a liking or fondness for something: I'm partial to chocolate ice cream, She's always been partial to older men.
The phrase suggests a preference that may not be entirely rational—you favor something because it appeals to you, not necessarily because it's objectively best.
Being partial to someone can also imply bias in their favor.
