to Do? (WE LIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA)In Part 5, you will find the “perfect―
restaurant serving high quality and authentic Asian cuisine that you are assigned to and
write a restaurant review based on the dining experience. In addition, you will learn about
your peers’ dining experience of all three cultures and cuisine.Dining out can be pretty
easy these days. We all have our favorite neighborhood spots for Pho that we know and
love, our go-to Thai restaurants where we order the same Pad Thai time and time again.
Those signature spots are fantastic because they’re easy. They’re consistent.
They’re within reach. But sometimes eating at a restaurant can be more than simply
fulfilling your basic need for sustenance. It can be an adventure full of new sensory
experiences. Every now and again we have to go out of our way for a perfect meal.
Sometimes we have to spend a little extra time to find it. Please put in some effort to search
for a “perfect― restaurant that is worth a trip from wherever you live in the Bay Area,
whether it’s because of overall culinary creativity, unique ingredients or one exceptional
dish. You can use multiple information sources for the search, such as online restaurant
reviews, food blogs, connoisseur restaurant reviews, or friends with culinary expertise. You
can dine at the restaurant by yourself, with your friends or family. Or you can join your
classmates from the same cuisine group to have a group meal. There are forums set up in
iLearn for each culture and cuisine group. It is your responsibility to coordinate with other
group members to select a restaurant and arrange the logistics in your group forum. The
group dining option is highly recommended. It is more budget friendly. You will have a

2. chance to try more dishes and have a chance to meet your peers in a relaxed environment.
Please use the Get Connected with Others in Your Group forum in iLearn to get connected.
You need to sample at least one item from every course -appetizers, soups/salads, entrée
and dessert. If the menu is not arranged by courses, please pick at least FOUR items from
the menu (beverage not included). Can’t finish four dishes at one meal by yourself? Maybe
you can take two or three trips to the restaurant. Based on your research in the project,
please pick the items that are best representative of the culture and cuisine and interest you
most. What to Write? Today the Internet is a stew of restaurant criticism, mostly scribbled
by amateurs. Their opinions now influence millions of diners seeking advice on Yelp, Urban
Spoon, Chowhound and other online sites. Unlike their professional counterparts at
newspapers and magazines, these reviewers publish their work immediately and without
editing. As a result, online reviews are often badly written and therefore of questionable
help. Imagine yourself as a professional restaurant critic, not an average Yelper. Based on
your dining experience, you are asked to write a restaurant review that stands out from the
Yelp and Urban Spoon babble. In the review, please cover the following basic points that are
relevant to any reader who knows nothing about the restaurant. Surroundings Describe the
area around the restaurant – urban, industrial, downtown, etc. – so that readers have a
general idea of what they’ll see when they eat there. Atmosphere Do your best to write
about the décor, even if you are not an interior designer. It’s nice to know if the
restaurant is geared for romantic dinners or for family fun. Also, giving the reader a feel for
the general floor plan helps them decide on party sizes.Menu Please do not reprint all the
food offerings in your review. Tell the readers what they can expect to order. Cover the
major groups: poultry, fish, steak, pork, pasta, vegetarian dishes, etc. This is a good place to
discuss the wine list (if there is one) and give the price range for the restaurant. Tell the
reader what you had, describe the uniqueness of each dish, and what you liked/disliked
about them. Service For most people eating out at most places, service accounts for at least
half of the reason for eating there in the first place. Typically, you can get by with just
covering speed, presentation and demeanor. It will be a plus if you can talk about the
temperament of the place. Do servers look like they’re having a good time? Are they
dressed neatly? Do they seem distracted? Help readers grasp the ambiance on the day you
visited.Exclusives Anything that make the restaurant different from others, like special
events, cooking classes, hosted dinners, live entertainment, whatever it is. Expert Opinions
In the process of doing the semester project, you are on the way to become an culture and
food expert about the Asian country you are assigned to. Based on your expert-in-
progress’ opinion, what do you think of the food, the décor, the service, and the
overall dining experience? Authentic or Americanized? Strongly recommend or do not
waste your time? In addition, if you know someone who has profound knowledge about the
culture and cuisine or complements your expertise, bring him/her. A Few TipsHere are a
handful tips to make your restaurant reviews sing while standing out as helpful:Tone it
Down Avoid superlatives (“best,” “awesome,” “incredible,” etc.)
because they don’t allow for the fine gradations that make reading a review worthwhile.
Try, for example, to compare a dish to one you’ve eaten elsewhere. Avoid Vague
Language “Caesar salad was boring.” What does “boring” mean here? Dishes

3. are typically so rich in details that’s it’s worth taking time to come up with a vivid
phrase or two.Ask Questions Your server is a wealth of knowledge about the restaurant (or
at least they’re supposed to be), so don’t be bashful about pumping him/her for
information. Also, if appropriate, have the Chef come out and tell you a little about
himself/herself. Experience the Courses For a serious restaurant reviewer, due diligence
demands you sample every course – appetizers, soups/salads, entrée and dessert or at
least one item from each food category. Avoid Listing Too Many Dishes Cramming the ten
dishes you and your group scarfed down into your review makes for deadly reading.
Instead, concentrate your efforts on a few dishes: The one you liked, the ones you hated, the
ones you deemed off-the-wall. If you only order four dishes, it might be OK to comment on
every one.Collateral Depending on the kind of restaurant, try to get as much literature from
them as possible. Take a picture of the menu. Bring home press kits and fliers. Get anything
that you might need to review later while you’re writing. There’s nothing worse than
being under a tight deadline and forgetting the name of what you ate and not having
something to reference. Some Requirements Please have the following requirements in
mind when writing your review: Your post should be a cohesive restaurant review, not a
Q&A session or a flyer with bullet points If you need to refer others’ ideas and research,
please use APA styles for citations an references, However, there is no requirement of
references in Part 5The review should be at least 500 words. However, depth matters more
than lengthPlease edit you review before posting Part 5=ONE post + THREE responsesThe
