- Chinese food in London ,please help me to have a check I investigate the dishes in the Chinese take away restaurants, Noodles City, some of them are different from the traditional Chinese food, like Chow Mein. In China, people will have fried noodle, but noodle with soup is more general in Chinese daily life. However, soup noodle need to be cooked after ordering, or else, noodle will be stick together and the soap with be muddy because of the starch in noodles. But for the fried noodle, it could be already cooked and be eaten immediately after customers arrive. This habit developed Chinese noodle into a kind of Chinese fast noodle, satisfying English customers to have a quick Chinese meal use less time, which is suitable for the fast pace of English life.November 26, 201800

Through the research, English people spend 34% of their food budget on fast food and 13% of people claimed they do not have time to cook dishes (Rachel, 2014).

Different from Silk Road, which is a special example that customers go there for food they cannot find from other restaurants in London. Chinese take away menu are quiet similar, they share lots of similarities of drinks and dishes, such as Chow Mein and sweet and sour chicken, which are almost in all the Chinese take away restaurants in London. The take away restaurants are consistent and become a common Chinese food in London, when English people mention Chinese food, they will think about the Chinese take away but not the special restaurants.November 26, 201810
- Essay for Monday, please help me to have a check “China is considered to be a collectivist country”, as Liza and Scott (2012) states, some scholars have argued that Chinese people are integrated with their family and friends, which determines the way of eating.

- Essay for culture behind Chinese food, please help me to have a check Chinese food is wide-spread and popular all over the world. Chinese food is the second popular cuisine in the UK, and when citizen choose take away, 58% of them will choose the Chinese food as their first choice (Deliveroo, 2017). As one of the earliest Chinese restaurant owners, Maoxin Zhang (2016) claimed, “Chinese food is the earliest and most successful contributor to the spread of Chinese culture. For most foreigners, the true feeling of Chinese culture begins with eating Chinese food.” Therefore, using Chinese food to attract audience to convey Chinese culture. The traditional eating and cooking habits are affected by countries’ traditional cultures, such as traditional living conditions, ancient knowledge, social ideology and history. Ancient Chinese Philosophers, Laozi (2018) insisted, “Follow the way of nature.” According to the seasons and weathers, there are special dishes for the 24 solar terms (Figure 1) and according to the locations, we have different cuisines (Figure 2). As the saying goes, ‘A set of water and soil bring up a group of people.’, in old Chinese diet culture, people use the ingredients they could find around their living environments then cooked dishes, which habit is still going on, Chinese people prefer new-cooked food but not ready-made food in their daily life although waiting for dishes outside or cooking by themselves cost a long time.November 5, 201840
- Essay for Chinese food, please help me to have a check For the first reason, the invisible things behind food show culture. The cooking techniques are chosen to cook dishes; the ideas for using vegetables and sauces; the traditional roles for cooking and eating are all the cultures that are reserved in the food. For Chinese food, the ingredients that people choose are based on the temperature of season, meanings and powers of food and the history and folk custom of the festivals, which are all affected by the traditional Chinese medicine and history (UKEssays, 2016). From food, people can not only enjoying delicious food and become full, but also experiencing the culture beyond food itself. Secondly, food is more approachable and infectious. Different from other alien ideologies that local people need a long time to adopt, food is difficult for people to resist it and accepted by people unconsciously. In the communication of culture, the food always takes the lead because of its affinity, more and more government substantial support the food festival to promote cultural communication between two countries (Guangwei, 2017). Choosing food as the topic to let the audience experience the different food, in order to realize the difference in two cultures is more directly and easier to be adapted. Finally, Chinese food is wide-spread and popular all over the world. Chinese food is the second popular cuisine in the UK, and when citizen choose take away, 58% of them will choose the Chinese food as their first choice (Deliveroo, 2017).

- Proposal for graduation design, please help me to have check Research Question How to help the English people understand the ingredients in Chinese dishes when they order in the Chinese restaurants? Background In 2015, Belgian artists Filip Sterckx and Antoon Beeck used 3D projection in their restaurant, Le Petit Chef. When customers wait for their dishes, there is a thumb-sized chef who is cooking your food on the plate in front of your eyes (figure 1). This is a project exploring the solution for people feeling a long time and bored while waiting for their meals. The focus of the design is on the Human Central Design for clients. There is no doubt that this design brings interesting experience for diners, using the technology as a storytelling tool to make a dining experience feel truly immersive. As the designer said, “It’s not a gimmick, but like a play with different media, and the food is part of the artistic expression.” However, there is a major problem that this kind of restaurant is less commercial value. The types of dishes are limited and update efficiency is low, since artist needs a long time to create a video for food. My project will take a look at what the menus in the restaurant will be like assuming that the technology of 3D projection in the restaurant is commercialized. The aim is to add 3D technology to the menus in Chinese restaurants, letting customers from other countries know clear the ingredients in Chinese dishes when they order which could help them to order their favorite food.June 15, 201800
