Since I already did the presentation of the food related book in the class, I will put the slides of the presentation for the 3rd report of the reading progress.

    Your presentation and blog posting on The World Food Problem was both informative and interesting. You effectively incorporated your PPT slides into the blog entry, as well. You did it in such a way that ensures maximum readability and it doesn't just look like PPT disguised as a blog entry. You presented the information from this challenging, and somewhat outdated, book in a logical and systematic way that makes it easy for us to understand the huge amount of content you had to wade through. Well done!

Restaurant Review - MENYA NISHI MUKU SAMURAI

Recently, a Ramen restaurant has opened near my apartment. I was eager to try it out, so I took the opportunity by doing a first-time restaurant review on this blog. The restaurant is called Men-ya Nishi Muku Samurai ( 麺屋ニシムクサムライ ), and it is located near Hatagaya station (Keio New Line). For those who are interested in visiting this restaurant, here is the exact address: 2 Chome-56-1 Hatagaya, Shibuya City, Tokyo 151-0072 I ordered a white chicken broth Ramen with additional sliced pork (Char-Siu Tori Paitan Ramen, チャーシュー鶏白湯ラーメン ) and a sliced pork bowl (Char-Siu don, チャーシュー丼 ). The price was 1600 yen in total.   First, I had a sip for the Ramen broth, and as I was expecting the broth was somewhat creamy . Like a Tonkotsu broth (pork-bone broth) but not as strong flavor as Tonkotsu broth is. Then I tried the noodles. Not too thick, relatively soft noodles they were but nothing was very special. Now it was the time to give it a little kick with the other ingredients. ...

Restaurant Review Analysis

Hi everyone. It's been a while since I've done  a restaurant review on Menya Nishi Muku Samurai , but recently I had an opportunity to do an restaurant review analysis on my assingments at uni, so I'd like to share the outcome of the analysis. I analyzed two reviews , one is written, and the other one is visual . The written one that I analyzed was reviewing a restaurant called Dirty French . You can access to the original post on The New York Times here , but there's a paywall. Overall, the review wasn't something I was expecting from a restaurant review. It was very detailed, neutral and professional . The reviewer described wide range of foods on the menu as well as the exterior, interior, and the atmosphere of the restaurant in detail, which allows us to visualize the foods and the atmosphere of the restaurant in our head.  Assuming from the broad, unique and elegant vocabularies that reviewer uses, the readers of this review are wealthy and well educated....

Progress 2 - The World Food Problem

This is the second report on the reading progress of "The World Food Problem". In the last report , I explained the difference between undernutrition and malnutrition. This time, I will be explaining how researchers around the world tried to measure the extent of hunger .  There has been numerous attemps to measure the extent of hunger in the past, both nationally and internationally. However, it was very difficult to measure it precisely due to its difficulty and complexity of the conducted surveys. The First World Food Survey by Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) was first conducted in 1946, and there hasn't been much reliable datas before than that. Therefore, some alternatives had to be used when researchers tried to measure the extent of hunger.  The first method was to measure the weight and height of the people in the countries that were said to be suffering from hunger, and compare the numbers with the same datas from the developed countries . It was ...
