Asian food day!!

This video is very intersting. It used another style to express the happiness and enjoyment about eating Asian food. The music in video is very cheerful to inspire people to eat Asian food and the image is very vivid. This video is very useful to evoke more people try Asian food.

Exploring the Asian Food Culture

I enjoyed this video very much. It is very meaningful and can learn more about traditional Asian food. It showed the really traditional Asian market and the source of Asian food. "Snake soup" is very famous and popular in Asain food, on the video, it show how to select a snake and make it into a delicious dish. Traditional Asian market is very crowded and dirty, not like supermarket (e.g. Publix) in the United States. This video can evoke more western people to learn more about Asian food.

Post 7 : Podcast

My topic of my blog is about Asian food in Gainesville, therefore, I chose five related topic in podcast. First one is “Green curry beef stir-fry.” It’s a kind of spicy Tai food, it used sliced beef in green curry sauce. This dish used many kinds of pepper such as red pepper, orange pepper, or green pepper. Jalapeno pepper is especially important to this dish because it will cause spicy taste. It is not common to stir-fried filet beef, but it really tastes good in this cooking way. This dish can get ready in ten minutes. It’s a good and easy dinning at home.

Second one is “Spicy basil chicken.” This dish can be eaten in many restaurants in Gainesville such as Merlion Singapore Cuisine. In podcast, it showed how to cook this dish easily in short time. It used chicken breast with Thai chili pepper and garlic, then fried in oil for a while, it will become a delicious Thai dish same as in the restaurant.

The third one is “Thai iced yea.” It is simpler than any others. Just put 2 oz Currysimple Thai Tea Syrup and water mixing together and can get a cup of great Thai iced tea. I never try this kind of tea before. I will do it by myself after I listened to this piece of podcast.

The fourth one is “Leftover turkey? Make it curry!” Traditional Thanksgiving turkey is very delicious and meaningful to me when I came to GNV last year! Every one reunion together to eat Thanksgiving meal and celebrated my birthday last year. This dish is a little bit different. It heated the yellow curry sauce first and then mixed with the veggie and turkey. It seems like get ready for leftover turkey easily.

The final one is “Spicy basil beef fried rice.” I am a person who enjoyed fried rice very much. Fried rice is very traditional and meaningful to Asian food. In this dish, cut the veggies first (onions, garlic, or peppers), stir-fried with high-quality beef and finally add jasmine rice into it. I think jasmine rice is very important in fried rice dishes. After I listened to podcast, I learned a lot about Asian food and got more information. Podcast is a really convenient tools for me.

Post 6: Learning from module 9

Web skills are very important in this Internet era. Photos and audio materials can promote interactivity among people through the Internet. In this week, I know taking a nice photo is very important for a blogger.
Running a blog well not only depends on the author’s writing words but also on some vivid images to attract readers. Photography and audio materials are especially important tools to create a vivid image. Before this module, I never thought that taking a good photo needs so many skills and knowledge. But now I realized that taking a good photo was not as easy as I thought before. It needs more attention and consideration.
In addition, I enjoyed this module very much because I never use Flickr and have an account. Now I understood that Flickr is so convenient to upload many photos and is a good tool to operate a successful and systematic album. It has many useful functions in Flickr such as interactive function to each photo. I like this function very much because people are not only attractive by these vivid photos and also can share their feedback at the same time. This interactive function is very important to a blogger.
Kodak’s top ten tips for great pictures also helped me a lot, I can took more professional pictures to run my blog and can share my viewpoints about taking pictures with others. Therefore, this module is very useful and enjoyable.

Photography for Suahi Yami

Sushi Yami is a Japanese buffet style restaurant which located on thirteen street in Gainesville. I took many photos about the food, environment, staff and so on. Here are best three shots!


The staff was preparing the sushi bar and this photo combines tip 5 (take some vertical pictures) with tip 7 (move it from the middle).


The customer was trying to choose the dessert. This photo uses tip 8 (know your flesh's range).


Delicious Chinese food and sushi. This photo includes tip 2 (Use a plain background), 4 (Move in close), and 6 (Lock the focus).

The fantacy of Sushi Yami in Gainesville!!

In the selection of Gainesville cuisine, Sushi Yami offers original home-cooked Japanese food for those who want to indulge their senses with the taste of gourmet flavors. Joseph took over ownership of Sushi Yami’s in January 2010. He brings with him practical training from Manhattan in New York City as well as dedication to ensuring that Sushi Yami continues to provide the people of Gainesville with the finest Japanese dining.

Sushi Yami provides Gainesville with fine Japanese food. Located on S.W. 13th Street, Sushi Yami is a high-quality Japanese buffet that is dedicated to offering genuine Japanese food made with only the freshest ingredients.

Joseph buys fresh ingredients at a cost-effective rate so that the best quality does not have to come at the highest price. All of Sushi Yami’s food is made fresh-to-order, so the customer gets exactly what he or she wants to complete the experience of eating a genuine Japanese meal.

In addition, many people who live in Gainesville have also been known to dine at Sushi Yami. It’s a classy, comfortable place to hold meetings with a client or interview potential employees over lunch. Sushi Yami has an extra room that can serve as a more private meeting space. And a meal at Sushi Yami can help a company or a organization discuss of official business and finish the project.
