When choosing the right tomatoes for drying, you should pay attention to those that are medium in size, not too juicy and necessarily red, because pink or yellow tomatoes contain more moisture. Do not give priority to tomatoes grown in the greenhouse, but prefer those grown in the garden in an open space. Of course, given the conditions of city life, this is often problematic. Therefore, it is better to solve the problem of preparing tomatoes for further drying in the summer, when there is an opportunity to buy fruits in the garden. Illustration. Ingredients for making dried tomatoes include: – 1kg of fresh tomatoes – 15ml olive oil – 5g of fine salt – A little garlic, fragrant leaves as you like 1kg of fresh tomatoes will give about 200g of dried tomatoes. Preliminary treatment – You can wash the tomatoes, remove the stalks and cut them into wedges or slices. It will taste better if you peel off the tomato skin! To marinate tomatoes, we need 2 basic ingredients: salt and olive oil. Also, if you want more flavor, you can use any seasoning you like. For example: garlic, pepper, rosemary, oregano… We put olive oil, salt and coriander leaves in the tomatoes and mix well. Marinate for 10 minutes. Drying – Arrange the tomatoes on the griddle. We will have 2 ways to dry tomatoes: Dry in the sun If you use this method, you will need to dry for about 3 days. And pay attention to good preservation, leave tomatoes in a dry place at night between drying days. Oven drying: – If you use an oven to dry, then dry it at 90 degrees Celsius for about 3-4 hours! Pay attention to the tray below, because tomatoes can bleed a lot of water during the drying process. After 1 hour of drying, the tomatoes will begin to wilt. After 2 hours, the tomatoes will start to dry again. You keep drying like this until the tomatoes reach the desired dryness! Dried tomatoes are a bit flexible plus a little fatty aroma of olive oil, so it’s very flavorful Dried tomatoes served with smoked meat and bread are delicious!

Rene Kobeitri’s 155 m long Philly Cheesesteak. Photo: CNN Rene Kobeitri, owner of Rim Cafe restaurant, said that this is the longest Philly cheesesteak in the world, breaking the old record of 146 meters. To complete this product, many chefs from all over the United States came to help Kobeitri, bringing “international taste” to the famous Philadelphia bakery product. “Each chef is in charge of a separate bakery area. We have a Brazilian steakhouse, an English section, and a Chinese section. They make cheese bread. I have never witnessed this,” Kobeitri said. To make this super long cake, the restaurant had to prepare 227 kilograms of meat and it took more than two hours to complete. Less than an hour after “displaying” on the street, everything was gone. According to Kebeitri, this is not simply a birthday celebration, nor is it for the purpose of setting a world record. He personally wanted an opportunity to bring people together after more than a year of living in isolation because of the epidemic. “The only thing that made me do this idea was to want everyone to be happy, to bring everyone together,” the restaurant owner shared. Cheesesteak is considered the best bread in America, originating from the city of Philadelphia, and is called Philly Cheesesteak for short. Philly Cheese Steak is simply a type of snack bread, with a loaf split in half topped with a thin grilled steak with onions and cheese on top. Other variations include steak and mushrooms, steak and green bell peppers, and steak with lots of onions.

High-end restaurants often limit serving food delivered at home because the shipping process more or less affects the quality and appearance of the dish. However, the Covid-19 epidemic has changed the situation. Luxury restaurants also have to change their home delivery business to meet the needs of diners during the epidemic season. If you want to have a hearty meal at home as good as a restaurant, you can refer to the quality food delivery addresses below. If you are on the eat clean diet, you can choose this address to order nutritious food. Green Garden’s healthy menu is quite diverse, suitable for lunches of office workers working from home. I used to order lunch at this restaurant which consisted of pan-seared salmon with lemon butter sauce, chia seeds cooked with milk and fresh fruit. 2 servings meet my criteria of being quick and nutritious for lunch. The main dish has a sweet salmon part, mixed with a rich, aromatic lemon butter sauce that drowns out the fishy taste of the fish. The meal is neatly arranged in a paper box, the sauce is also kept separately, the green vegetables including cauliflower, collard greens, lettuce, cowpea are neatly trimmed, not crushed. The hot portion causes the container to collect moisture during transportation, but does not affect the taste of the dish. After finishing the main course, I enjoyed a dessert with chia seeds cooked with milk and fresh fruit. Before delivering the food, the restaurant told me to put the chia seeds cooked with milk in the refrigerator before enjoying. The fragrant milk is balanced by the refreshing fruit taste. The pieces of fruit are carefully cut into circles, just eaten. This is my favorite part about this dish because many places often cut the fruit into squares that are quite difficult to eat. This dessert is also placed in a paper box with a silicone lid carefully, to avoid spillage during transportation. Before the epidemic broke out again, I had the opportunity to go to this restaurant and enjoy Vietnamese dishes with strange variations. Anan Saigon is the right address for those who are looking for new flavors through familiar dishes. The menu here includes dishes that sound both strange and familiar such as wagyu beef fried rice, snail pizza, tuna tacos, one-shot vermicelli, vegetarian spring rolls… The restaurant’s dishes are carefully prepared from the start to decorate before serving diners. Therefore, when switching to delivery, restaurant owners are also concerned when the packaging and transportation process can affect the beautiful dishes. This restaurant in the top of Asia’s best still serves home delivery to adapt to the pandemic situation. The meals are neatly arranged in styrofoam boxes, the lid of the box is often marked with good wishes sent to diners. Most of the items on the menu have delivery and apply many promotions to attract diners. From May 28, Quince restaurant also announced that it will stop accepting customers to dine in, only selling takeout or online orders. This restaurant is an ideal place for diners who love European food. The typical culinary style here is that the dishes are grilled on a wood stove. The last time I went to Quince, I enjoyed the tuna foie gras. The dish has a rather strange taste, is a contrasting combination of grilled fatty foie gras, mixed with the smell of smoke from firewood and a piece of fresh tuna that is toasted through the surface. The menu here is diverse, home delivery dishes are included in the restaurant’s monthly fixed menu, ranging from 200,000 VND to more than 1 million VND. The food here is suitable for a hearty party held at home. You can order BBQ lobster, avocado salad, BBQ cauliflower, lamb tenderloin with spicy muhammara sauce… to enjoy with your loved ones. If you love the taste of Mediterranean dishes, you can order food at Amun with dishes made from sheep or beef. In addition to Mediterranean-style dishes, this restaurant also has typical Moroccan lamb stew worth trying. The dishes at Amun are also suitable for a luxurious dinner with the family. You can order Amun beef short rib (beef ribs stewed in wine with mashed potatoes), Mediterranean charcoal grilled lamb skewers or charcoal grilled composite skewers. The restaurant only accepts shipping orders at the latest until 22:30 on weekdays. This restaurant specializes in hand-crafted dishes with fresh ingredients, preserving the flavors of traditional Italy. Pasta Fresca’s signature dish is the noodles. Diners can enjoy traditional Tuscan maremmani pici, black linguine, and cappelletti pasta. The dishes here are all meticulously prepared by Italian chefs. Last house dinner, I ordered smoke salmon salad (smoked tuna salad), fries topped with rosemary Parmigiano cheese, Australian steak BBQ with pita bread for 3 people. Because the transportation from Thao Dien to my house is about 7 km, the distance is quite long, so the potato part is a bit soft, but the taste is still guaranteed. The meal I ordered is subject to the promotion of free pizza margherita.

Summer is considered the “business season” of Ly Son tourism (Quang Ngai). This year, however, everything turned upside down. These days, the pace of life on Ly Son island seems to slow down. There is no longer a busy scene of tourists as usual, instead it is a lonely, cold scene. That is because to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic from entering the area, Quang Ngai province banned all foreign tourists and international visitors to the island district. Therefore, industries related to tourism such as boats, canoes, trams, motels, hotels, homestays, restaurants, eateries, … all fall into a state of “hibernation”. The center of the island district at night is deserted Almost all accommodation establishments in the area are closed due to lack of guests Anchor ships wait for their turn to run alternately, operating frequency is only 20% of normal There are a total of 92 rooms of 4-star standard accommodation, nearly a month ago, Muong Thanh Ly Son hotel was still open for operation. Said to be active, but almost no guests came to rent the room. Mr. Bui Xuan Nghia – Director of Muong Thanh Ly Son Hotel, said that the unit has a total of 66 employees, currently only 5% are arranged to rotate activities. However, people who come only do cleaning and maintenance of equipment, but there are no guests to receive. Although there is no revenue, the unit still pays 40% of the monthly salary for employees to cover their lives and overcome difficulties. “Just got up after several consecutive epidemics, then storm No. 9, if this situation persists, I am afraid that people who live by tourism in Ly Son will find it difficult to sustain themselves” – Mr. Nghia worried. Opposite Muong Thanh Ly Son is Ngoc Island Resort – one of the large accommodation units on the island – which has been closed for more than three weeks now because there are no guests. Nearly all hotels, motels and homestays in Ly Son district are in a similar situation, “doors closed and bolted”. Many hotel and motel owners admit that they are facing a lot of difficulties because they have no revenue, while maintenance costs and bank loan interest are putting great pressure on. There were no tourists, so for nearly a month, the parking lot of the Ly Son District Labor Union was always in a state of no space. All cars are gathered here to “wait” for tourists, most tram drivers have found other jobs to make a living. The fleet of trams transporting tourists is gathered to the parking lot… lying down and waiting All shops and souvenir stalls serving tourists at scenic spots on the island are “covered”. If about a month ago, they were busy from early morning to late evening to take guests in and out of the port, visit, eat, … now, Vung – a 7-seat driver transports tourists on island – free again. Sighing, the young man sadly shared: “In the past, I ran a lot, now it takes a long time to get people on the island to get here and there. I don’t know when the situation will improve again.” Sharing the same fate at the wharf with the car is a fleet of ships and canoes. Normally, at the lowest point, every day the Sa Ky – Ly Son route also has at least three trains to connect the island to the mainland. But now there is only one turn left to serve the travel needs of people and officials working on the island, absolutely no tourists. Being able to run seems to be better if you look at the scene of dozens of canoes on the big island – the small island that have to be lined up close to each other, sunbathing in the rain for more than a month now in the boat anchorage because the route is completely paralyzed. . Fuck it, go find a job “fire fighting” Experiencing three consecutive epidemics, plus the impact of natural disasters, most of the restaurants in the area have been “hit”. Along the mobile route around the island, there are dozens of shops specializing in serving tourists, which have almost closed over the past month. The shop lingered open, but only a few local guests. Anh An – Manager of Ly Son Basket Seafood Restaurant, said that since the day there was a ban on visitors to the island, his restaurant had temporarily stopped operating, all staff were laid off. This time, he focuses on repairing the restaurant and upgrading the facilities so that when the epidemic is under control, the ban is lifted and it reopens. All major restaurants on the island are closed “There are many difficulties, but united and fighting the epidemic is the prerequisite task of each person. I believe that we will come back to life when the epidemic is under control,” said An. Without tourists, the source of income is therefore completely cut off, so tourism workers in Ly Son are facing the challenge of “survival” when their work will never return to normal. . Taking advantage of the availability, many guides have chosen to post the seafood sale on their personal facebook page; most drivers of ships, canoes and cars get off the boat to go to the sea; hotel owners selling onions, garlic, soft drinks, etc. Everyone tries to find a job “fire fighting” to make ends meet. Nhung – the receptionist of a large hotel – has been out of work for more than a month due to the closure of the hotel, and has managed to find a temporary job at a cafe near her house. “Like I was lucky, because many people now just stay at home, now have a job, have an income to cover expenses is what many people want, but the specificity of the island district is not easy.” , Nhung shared. Mr. Le Van Ninh – Vice Chairman of Ly Son District People’s Committee, said that due to the influence of the epidemic, the island district is not currently welcoming tourists. This is a move to protect people against complicated developments of the disease in some localities. “We do not know when the tourism activities in the locality will be restored, currently the impact of the epidemic is very large, seriously affecting the income and life of people,” said Ninh. to speak.

That is the first reason why many restaurants in New York City have set up separate areas to serve diners who have been vaccinated against Covid-19. They think that people who have been vaccinated, even though they gather in close proximity, the possibility of disease transmission is very low, according to New York Post . But most of all, restaurant owners admit that they want to give diners the feeling of dining in 2019, a time when Covid-19 has not yet appeared. Carroll Place bar set up a separate area for customers who have been vaccinated. Photo: New York Post. Carroll Place bar (157 Bleecker Street, West Village) plans to open a new seating area for guests who have been vaccinated against Covid-19 on June 9. Restaurant owner AJ Bontempo shared: “I think that when life starts to return to normal, people will want to feel comfortable eating without having to worry about the disease like before. The new area is like a gift to those who have been vaccinated.” Of the 109 seats on the main floor of Carroll Place bar, 90 are reserved for vaccinated guests. The remaining seats are arranged behind the stage for the disabled because there are suitable restrooms located on this floor. Meanwhile, 50 seats upstairs and another 130 seats outside will be reserved for unvaccinated customers at the bar. Jolene Pub in Manhattan reopened, serving only vaccinated diners. Photo: New York Post. The Carolines, a comedy club on Broadway, is also offering the best seats indoors for those who have been vaccinated. “The easiest way to get the best seats in the house? It’s vaccination! We require theatergoers to present their vaccination cards,” said Caroline Hirsch, founder and owner of the Carolines Club. She further explained that continuing to maintain a minimum distance of 2 meters will reduce the capacity of the theater to serve. In the future, some performances at the Carolines will be exclusively for vaccinated audiences. “Our actors are always hoping to perform in front of a packed audience of people who have completed their Covid-19 vaccinations. When you’re a comedian, you want to see your audience laugh. Actors will not feel anything when they have to be 4 meters away from the audience and are covered by a plastic wall, “said Ms. Hirsch.

Hot pot is always a delicious dish that attracts foodies, especially on a rainy day. When restaurants and eateries in Ho Chi Minh City closed for epidemic prevention, diners began to seek home delivery service. Food quality, discount program, free shipping or fast delivery time are factors that diners care about when ordering hot pot online. With a variety of dips, carefully packed in trays and boxes, and highly appreciated flavors, the following 5 quality hot pot restaurants are the addresses you can refer to. After a few days of limiting going out, practicing cooking habits, I craved the feeling of slurping hot hot pot with friends. I decided to order at Haidilao right away because I have been to this restaurant a few times and was impressed with the professional attitude of the staff. If eating for one person, the Hong Kong-style hot pot (China) to take home is quite expensive and the dishes are not diverse, I invite my housemates to order together. Since it was my first time buying online here, I was a bit confused in the search process. Typing the name of the restaurant, I couldn’t find the official website, so I had to go to the social networking site. Here, I was guided in detail about ordering via text message, the consultants were quite enthusiastic. Even though I had to self-serve and didn’t get to watch the unique noodle dance, I still appreciated the restaurant service, the takeaway meal included fruit, dessert jelly, sunflower seeds, candy, and hair bands. separate bag. Because there is no dedicated pot at home, I deposit 500,000 VND and borrow a 2-compartment pot from the restaurant, generally quite convenient and fast. The meal is placed in a clean, clean plastic box. The hot pot is in concentrated form, with a table of instructions on the ratio of preparation, so it is not too difficult to prepare, even for clumsy guests in the kitchen. We chose spicy tomato and Sichuan hotpot, served with tender beef, corn, fish stomach, ky tofu, bacon… At the same buffet price at the restaurant, the downside of the takeaway hotpot is that diners can’t order more side dishes if they want. However, you do not need to worry too much about it, Rakuen Hotpot prepares just enough servings for each person. Guests can book directly via text message, phone or through an intermediary app without having to leave the house. Combo 2 people from 199,000 to 325,000 VND including 5 kinds of spicy Thai hot pot, mushrooms, spicy kimchi noodles, sour bamboo shoots, Sichuan. In my first experience, I tried to order mushroom hot pot of 199,000 VND for 2 people, with vegetables, mushrooms, vegetable noodles (or instant noodles), young tofu, lean pork shoulder, clams, baby octopus, beef. The address is 5.3 km from home, shipping fee is 30,000 VND, apply a discount code, the total amount I have to pay is 203,000 VND. When I receive the order and enjoy, I rate 7/10 because the hotpot is rich, the ingredients come with a lot, it’s cheap but it’s full. At the time of the outbreak, Manwah was a brand preferred by many young people. The menu here is diverse with beef, pork, shrimp, squid, fish… fresh and delicious. The giant “meat mountain” is one of the impressive dips, which is also a feature of the Taiwanese hot pot table (China). Taiwanese people are meticulous in the presentation of food because they are strongly influenced by Japanese culture. The meat is meticulously arranged in layers on the cold stone surface to ensure freshness and aesthetics. From May 28, implementing a new directive, the restaurant only serves door-to-door delivery. In my opinion, this restaurant’s ordering website interface is quite friendly. Groups of vegetables, seafood, mushrooms, peas, pork, sauces… are clearly displayed with prices. Customers can choose and self-regulate the appropriate amount of food. After all operations, you enter your phone number and complete the order quickly. Along with many restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City to join hands to fight the epidemic, Kichi-Kichi closed stores and only served online for diners. A Japanese-style culinary address with nearly 100 dishes such as American beef, salmon, eggs, vegetables, mushrooms… is a suggestion you can refer to. Unlike buffet style when eating directly at the restaurant, diners choose to pay as much as they want for home delivery. Pork, beef, seafood split, price about 9,000-16,000 VND/piece. Corn, sprouts, mustard greens, dan wu… at 5,000-7,000 VND and dipping sauce at 15,000 VND. The servings are quite small, like on a conveyor belt, you should estimate the portion so that you don’t miss it. While Sichuan hotpot is spicy and a bit bland, crab hotpot is picky, Thai hotpot balances sour, spicy, fatty and salty the most. So, I only ordered a portion of broth (priced at 39,000 VND) just enough for 2 people to eat. Compared to the buffet package priced from 200,000 VND, buying home seems to be a more economical solution. However, the minus point is that cleaning up after a home party is quite difficult. If you are looking for a place to enjoy delicious Vietnamese beef hot pot, Ti Chuot is a reasonable suggestion for you. The broth here is rated as sweet, with rich side dishes. Sausage hotpot is a dish that impresses me. In addition to the use of sweetening water, the sausage also brings a sense of joy, sometimes biting the thin layer of meat, the fat layer or sucking the marrow in the bone. The shop serves with egg noodles, instant noodles, cabbage, spinach, chicken thighs … sauce with vinegar and a little spicy spicy satay. The price of hot pot here ranges from 215,000-265,000 VND/pot for 2-3 people to eat. During the epidemic season, the restaurant applies a 10% discount program, free shipping to encourage customers to buy home. Not only serving beef hotpot and sausage, you can order many other dishes such as grilled beef with cheese, beef salad, grilled hamster…

The ornate dish won many nods and compliments from the adventurous clientele. A chef from Paris who has just prepared a pasta dish of insects, sweet potatoes and sautéed larvae, said: “This is an ideal dish for beginners to eat insects. Their taste is quite attractive and very little. who don’t like it.” French restaurant serving food of the future is not for the faint of heart In January 2021, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) deemed the larvae of the beetle, Tenebrio molitor, fit for human consumption. By May 2021, this agency approved the sale of this ingredient in the food market. It is predicted that to meet the growing world population, insects will soon be included in the cuisine of the future. The European Food Safety Authority has studied more than a dozen different applications for insect food products, including crickets and locusts. Insects in general can provide a sustainable and low-carbon food source for the future. Local resident Soheil Ayari, after dining with her two daughters, said: “I feel like I’m in a traditional restaurant except for what I’m eating.

Initially, the money for cooking rice was paid by Mr. Hien and Ms. Yen Anh. Many of his business partners see that, they support rice, meat and fish… Many friends also started sending money to support. “They want to come with me. They told me to go for a long distance, not every day, sometimes 16 to 21 days, with a daily budget of more than 3 million, one person will not be able to bear it.

Hops are an indispensable ingredient in beer production – a wonderful drink that is loved by every country. However, few people know that hops are also used to eat with the most expensive prices in the world. The hops, scientifically known as humulus lupulus, are shaped like the tops of asparagus and are only for the rich to enjoy. In the past, when the beer industry was new, young shoots that did not bloom into flowers were considered waste. Over time, what used to be discarded has become the most expensive vegetable in the world with a price of more than 1,000 USD/kg. The reason why the price of hops shoots is so high is because of the scarcity of this plant. Hops sprout only once in the spring, between March and April. Moreover, the life time of hops shoots is not long. Just a short time after the hops sprout, the hops will quickly perish if not harvested. The expensiveness of hops buds also comes from the sophisticated harvesting process. Hops do not grow in rows, so harvesting must be done entirely by hand. The harvester must carefully find the buds growing in the foliage. They are so small that it takes thousands of hops to fill a bag Garden owners also have to depend on the weather to have a reasonable harvest schedule within 14 days of hops sprouting. They are quite picky about habitat, so they are usually grown only in England and Belgium. Having a shape and taste similar to asparagus when eaten raw, some people think that the hops buds, if eaten raw, are quite bitter, tasting like green beans, but when cooked, it has a very distinct flavor. After being harvested, most of the hops are used by luxury restaurants to cater to privileged diners. Hops shoots can be used for salads, noodles or baked… according to the preferences of the buyer. Sautéing garlic is also an option that many people who have eaten hops appreciate. For many chefs around the world, hops are considered a great ingredient to prepare the unique dishes that make them famous. Please watch the video: The strangest shaped trees in the world.

In addition, a series of non-essential entertainment and entertainment activities must also be suspended. Since then, the ancient town of Hoi An has fallen into the doldrums of tourists. An Hoi Bridge connects the two banks of Hoai River, located in the center of the old town, which attracts a lot of tourists walking but is now deserted. The intersection between 3 main streets in the Old Quarter: Bach Dang, Nguyen Thai Hoc, and Chau Thuong Van is the most crowded place for tourists, but since the COVID-19 outbreak re-emerged, the scene here has been deserted. like sheet. From the date of suspension of ticket sales, many monuments and attractions in the old quarter are always in a state of closed doors. Pictured is Hoi An Traditional Performing Arts House located on Bach Dang Street. Cantonese Assembly Hall – a sightseeing spot on Tran Phu Street, is also closed. Meanwhile, the Phuoc Kien Assembly Hall was open, but there was not a single person in sight. In addition to attractions, most souvenir shops, cafes and restaurants in the old quarter are also closed and temporarily closed for business. “From May 10, the local government requested that food and beverage businesses are only allowed to sell takeaways, not serve guests on-site. Since then, me and many business households in the old quarter decided to close the shop. From last year until now, the COVID-19 epidemic has caused most of the business households that depend on tourists like my family to be in dire straits. ancient times to welcome visitors back,” shared Nguyen Mai Ly, the owner of a cafe on Bach Dang Street.

Overexploitation The researchers analyzed DNA to test eel products, including grilled eel and sushi, sold in restaurants. The results recorded that nearly 50% of the samples were identified as European eels (Anguilla anguilla) on the endangered animal list. This species is threatened by overexploitation due to increased consumer demand from Asia, especially China and Japan. These two countries consider eel a delicacy and aphrodisiac. Critically endangered and endangered eels are being sold in sushi restaurants in Hong Kong. Photo: South China Morning Post. European eels are listed in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites). The Ordinance for the Protection of Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora requires an export permit and inspection of the species upon arrival in Hong Kong. Of the 80 samples, 36 were confirmed as critically endangered European eels, 29 were American eels, and 5 were Japanese eels. Critically endangered European eel is sold in 45% of the 80 sushi restaurants surveyed in Hong Kong. Photo: South China Morning Post. Gap The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) said the results showed the animals were illegally existing in Hong Kong’s eel supply chain. The organization calls for urgent action to stop the illegal wildlife trade. To this day, Hong Kong remains one of the biggest hubs for the illegal wildlife industry, with a record number of wildlife seizures. In February, HKU published a study showing that thousands of species are legally trafficked through Hong Kong with inadequate traceability. At the heart of the problem lies a vague code system that customs officials around the world use to classify species. “The codes used for the eel trade are too general and only list products that are goods of the Anguilla species. However, those codes do not distinguish between different Anguilla species and their life stages,” said Jovy Chan, wildlife conservation manager at WWF. “Complete, specific and accurate commercial data are important to facilitate the implementation of conservation policies for eel species. In addition to European eels managed by Cites, some parts of Asia, for example the Philippines, Indonesia and Taiwan, have bans on the trade in European eels. Customs codes have a key role to play on issues of legality, traceability and sustainability of eels,” added Ms Jovy. David Baker, staff member of HKU’s Conservation Forensic laboratory and who led the eel study, said the results reflect the vulnerability of the retail market. “Our hope is to partner with WWF. This enhances surveillance at distribution points to prevent illegal seafood products from entering the market,” Mr. Baker said.

In 2020, HKU published a study showing that nearly half of eel products retailed in supermarkets and convenience stores in Hong Kong are endangered European eels. Based on DNA testing, the study found that nearly half (45%) of retail eel products originate from critically endangered European eel species. Products are only labeled as “eels”. “Consumers have the right to know where their food comes from and whether it is sourced in ethical and sustainable ways. This problem is not limited to eels,” Mr. Baker said.

Similarly, a row of restaurants a few steps away were also closed, although the ban on serving guests on site was lifted. The restaurant on Bach Dang street has its doors closed. A cafe with ancient architecture, mossy roof tiles over time, is still not ready to open to welcome guests. Nguyen Mai Ly (restaurant owner on Bach Dang street) shared that she started closing her business after the April 30-1/5 holiday because of the re-emergence of the COVID-19 epidemic. “Even though the local government now allows normal operations, if we open for business, there will be no customers.

Most of the restaurants operate moderately with a small number of customers. Because of their reliance on foreign tourists, the streets of Seoul are going through an unprecedentedly difficult time. The pandemic has limited international travel for many months, and the source of visitors from locals has also decreased a lot because of social distancing and blockade rules. The Seoul Metropolitan Government predicts that the number of foreign tourists has decreased by 86%, from 13.9 million in 2019 to just 1.92 million in 2020. “These neighborhoods popular with foreigners have been hit very hard. We get a lot of phone calls asking for help from people doing business here,” said an official from the tourism department of the city government.

A city government official in the tourism policy department said Seoul is also preparing many support measures to attract more local tourists to these entertainment districts. At Itaewon, some signs of positive change gradually appeared. According to shop owners, although business is not as good as before, the number of visitors seems to have increased as they turn to attracting locals. “Things are starting to get better compared to the same period last year. Hope to see Itaewon bounce back to its glory years,” said Maeng Ki-hoon, head of the merchants association in Itaewon.

Hanoi, which used to be always in a bustling atmosphere right from the early morning, has now become quiet due to the situation of fighting the Covid-19 epidemic. The emptiness reminds of the beauty of many years ago, but also brings sadness when the restaurant is empty of customers, business people have difficulties. Minh called these images of the “sell-out” period, because from May 25, in response to the epidemic, Hanoi had a written request that food and beverage shops were only allowed to sell take-out. For those who were born and raised in the Capital, this is an unforgettable moment in their life. Long Bien Bridge, a cultural symbol of Hanoi, is an important trade route that used to be very active from early morning to late night. …now quiet, sparse, only a few people passing by The quiet rhythm of the bridge makes people restless and regretful Looking down from Long Bien Bridge, the Red River suddenly became quieter Sword Lake, the heart of the capital, also doesn’t have many commuters Pigeons feeding in the fresh air The old town used to be crowded with sellers and buyers… …now closed most of the shops, no longer crowded Readers: Bui Binh Minh ( Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi)

On May 18, he decided to stand out and cook about 400 servings of rice, giving it to people in need in the area. Because it was a spontaneous action, he announced on his personal page, asked his relatives to notify the worker’s accommodation so that everyone could know. Mr. Nguyen Van Tu (gray shirt) carried out the activity of cooking rice and giving gifts to workers in the blockade area. “I used to run a restaurant business, so the utensils or the kitchen were available. However, the money for the materials was all paid for by me,” Tu told Zing. Hearing about the meaningful activity, some neighbors, friends and relatives also came to help the owner of the restaurant. From 5am, people started to prepare a large amount of vegetables, meat and fish and then cook to deliver rice at around 10am. Unexpectedly, 400 meals prepared by Mr. Tu and everyone were quickly distributed on the first day. Even, because he was a bit “overwhelmed”, he planned to take a break on May 19, waiting for the next day to continue, when many calls and messages asking for help returned, making him unable to bear it. “Many workers are very guilty. They are people from other provinces to work, do not have relatives here. The urgent blockade has put many people in difficult situations, some people say that the past few days have been full of instant noodles except for meals. “. Also after the first meal, some benefactors knew about the activity, so they donated some money and materials to help Mr. Tu. The dishes are divided into boxes with hot rice and distributed to everyone. On the second day of the activity, his group cooked a record of 850 servings, divided into 2 meals, 600 in the morning, 250 in the afternoon. Everyone cooked whatever they wanted, braised meat, fried vegetables, fried beans, fish sauce… about 20 The dishes are neatly arranged, full on the table waiting to be divided with rice. Because the locality is implementing social distancing, Tu also recommends that people limit concentration and arrange for a time slot to distribute meals for each area. He also asked the representatives of the innkeepers to come pick up meals and distribute them to the workers. “Sometimes when the rice ran out, but there were still people texting asking for food, I took the rest of the noodles from the restaurant for everyone, hoping to help them through the meal.” Unable to do business since the implementation of social distancing, Mr. Tu’s source of income has also been greatly affected. Therefore, even though he has a heart, he is afraid that he will not be able to continue the rice donation activity for too long. He plans to maintain it for the next few days, prioritizing those who have not been received in the past 2 days and then counting. “Being able to help people, even if I’m hungry for 1 or 2 days, I’m very happy. Most of the people and workers here are still struggling, not many people have savings to manage in such a situation. Hopefully, the epidemic will soon be pushed back so that everyone can return to their old rhythms,” he expressed.

A study says that the customer’s impression of a dish begins with the menu in hand. The heavy menu leads us to believe that the service in the restaurant would be better. So, when holding a leather menu with good paper, don’t let it be fooled. In fact, the menu has nothing to do with the quality of the food or the service of the restaurant. The name can also make certain dishes 23% more popular. Research shows that catchy names increase the number of people choosing a dish. The color on the menu of the restaurant also has a great influence on the psychology of customers. Places that want to highlight the freshness of the food will give visitors a blue menu. In particular, experts say that people ordering from a multi-black menu are likely to be suspicious of the establishment and have little confidence in what they’re ordering. The font on the menu also affects the way the food is perceived. Guests who read the menu in italics have the mentality that the restaurant is high class with top service. Many studies show that detailed and attractive descriptions of dishes can help restaurants increase sales by up to 27%. Many restaurants only list the prices of menu items with numbers but do not state their currency. This trick is used to distract diners from worrying about how much they have to pay for their meal. Restaurants will print images of expensive and eye-catching dishes on their menus to stimulate diners’ curiosity and appetite.

An eel weighing several kilograms or more is normal. The bigger the fish, the better the meat, the more fat the belly is. The writer of this article has an unforgettable memory of eels. It was time to a fishing port to write articles. Before leaving, the director hung in my car a sandbag “a little homegrown plant as a gift for my sister”. When I got home, I just packed seafood, reminded my “sister” to do the kitchen, and then took a shower. While taking a shower, I suddenly heard a loud scream from behind the kitchen, and when I ran out, my wife had already passed out. How could she not faint when she had just unpacked the sandbag when a striped sea eel the size of a small python was squirming wildly! This eel weighs up to 13kg. The eel hotpot is delicious! About the strength and longevity of the eel, writer Buu Y describes: “The fish is very scary, at night he crawls ashore and then goes to the cage to catch chicks. Households near the river are experienced in catching fish. At night, every time I hear the chicken behind the coop, I know he is coming up, he crawls like a snake, but according to a rule, he crawls down that way, so people guard his way and sprinkle a lot of ashes, that’s when down, it fell into the ash nest, just lying in one place, no way to move.” Eel meat is tough, so in the countryside, women often slice rim with turmeric. This dish is great with hot red rice! At the restaurant, people often stir-fry eel with mushrooms (shiitake mushrooms, cat mushrooms, termite mushrooms) with onions, skull pepper… it’s very painful. Grilled eel dipped in ginger fish sauce or braised with acrid banana is also good. As for the eel hot pot, don’t say, the fresh water is dark, when it’s hot and sweaty, it’s already… According to architect Nguyen Trong Huan, in the list of fish, eel must be listed at the top. Also according to him, enjoying the right eel must be accompanied by the wine of Chuon village, the first famous wine in Hue.

Implementation steps: -Bought bones to cut into pieces to eat. Then wash off the impurities and excess blood under the tap. -After washing the bones, prepare a large bowl, put the bones in. Add an appropriate amount of water and a teaspoon of salt. Use chopsticks to stir until the salt dissolves, then soak the bones for 30 minutes. When the soaking time is over, take it out and rinse it with water. It should be understood, if only soaking bones with water, it will make bones lose nutrients. If soaked in salt water, the bones not only clean the excess blood inside but also keep the nutrition. You can add more vegetables and fruits to stew together (Illustration image) After soaking, add the appropriate amount of water to the pot, bring to a boil over high heat. When the water boils, add the bones, add a few slices of ginger, boil again over low heat for about 1 hour. – Wait until the bones are soft, now you can have the vegetables you want to stew with. Cook for about 20 minutes, then add salt to taste. Seasoning with salt at this time will not make the broth cloudy like adding salt at the beginning of the stew. – Ripe fruits and vegetables, you can take them out and add onions or herbs and enjoy!

Receiving a text from my boss, I glanced at my watch. 6 more hours until my flight from Hanoi to Da Nang departs at 20 pm on April 30. Previously, on April 29, Ha Nam province recorded a case with a positive result for SARS-CoV-2, BN2899. This person has just completed concentrated isolation in Da Nang City and tested negative for nCoV 3 times. After that, many F1, F2 related to this case were found to have Covid-19. “Or stay where you are?”, I hesitated a bit. Noi Bai airport (Hanoi) at noon on April 29 was more crowded than usual because many people returned to their hometown or went on holiday on April 30. Photo: Ngoc Tan. However, this is my first leave since the beginning of this year. I was so excited that I planned it long in advance. There are still recommendations from the Ministry of Health on maintaining the 5K status (masks, disinfection, distance, not gathering, medical declaration), but then, moving between localities is not prohibited. Moreover, Da Nang has not had a ban on tourist areas, resorts and hotels from accepting guests. In the end, I packed my things in my suitcase and left with the thought: “If the translation is too complicated, I can book a ticket to return earlier.” Avoid going to bars and clubs for fear of danger On the morning of May 1, I decided to go to the beach. Contrary to my imagination of a crowded Danang during the holiday season, traffic is sparse on the streets. Seeing me wondering, the driver said: “The epidemic is so scary that people have been rushing back since April 30. There is a company that booked a 5-star hotel for 500 employees to go on vacation but also canceled the tour.” At the beach, although the weather is quite nice, I can count the number of people out here playing on my fingers. It was a group of young Chinese friends carrying buoys playing in the sea. A family with young children all fell into the water and struggled back to the shore to make sand. In the afternoon of the same day, the scene was still strangely deserted on the way to Linh Ung pagoda on Son Tra peninsula. Not many tourists visit Linh Ung Pagoda (Son Tra, Da Nang) on ​​the afternoon of May 1. Some foreigners do not wear masks. Photo: NVCC. Arriving at an emerging place recently, which young people call “Obama rock”, I saw about 100 people, mostly local families, sitting crammed in huts to eat, drink and sing. . Seeing the crowded scene, no one wearing a mask or paying attention to the distance, my companion and I quickly left. Although the plan that day was to go “chill” at the bar on the roof of a high-rise building in the evening, we decided to cancel because a closed environment such as a bar or pub can easily spread the virus. Throughout the day, my companion and I did not forget to wear masks and bring hand sanitizer. Sometimes when traveling on the road, I take advantage of reading the news to update the situation about new infections. Going out in anxiety According to the schedule, on May 2, I spend time mainly in Hoi An city (Quang Nam). Unlike Da Nang, the entertainment spots here are still quite crowded. Except when diving to see coral or swimming in Cu Lao Cham, my companion and I try not to leave the mask. At lunchtime, we also choose a corner table to limit contact with people. However, with the large number of tourists present on the island, it is very difficult to ensure social distancing. Visitors are sparse in Hoi An ancient town at about 4pm on May 2, but it becomes more and more crowded in the evening. Photo: NVCC. On the way to Hoi An ancient town, the taxi driver reminded us that the suspected case of SARS-CoV-2 infection was a local. I immediately opened the phone to check the information to be more secure. As evening comes, the number of tourists flocking to the old town increases, mainly young people traveling with lovers and families. They gathered around famous sightseeing areas such as Cau Pagoda, Ba Mu pagoda gate, Phuc Kien assembly hall… to take pictures. According to observations, most do not wear masks. Not wanting to linger long in a crowded place, we decided to leave after a tour around. The last day in Da Nang, I mainly stayed in the hotel, not wandering around the streets because I was bewildered by the complicated development of the disease. At the airport on the evening of May 3, I looked forward to returning home when the Da Nang Department of Health announced that the city had detected a Covid-19 patient in the community. This man works at Phu An hotel (Hai Chau district, Da Nang), residing in Hoi An city. I was jittery when I knew before that, he traveled to many places between the two cities. Before boarding the plane, I made the required medical declaration. My companion and I also thoroughly wore masks, disinfected hands and kept a distance before the flight departed. When I got home, the next morning, I immediately made a medical declaration when I received an email from the company. I would also like to self-isolate at home to monitor the epidemic situation. Through reading the news, I know from 0:00 on May 4, Da Nang city suspends non-essential activities and bans swimming. In Hoi An city, the streets also became quiet, shops closed after detecting a case of Covid-19. On the afternoon of May 4, the old town streets in Hoi An city were quiet after this locality showed a positive case for SARS-CoV-2. Photo: Thanh Duc, Quoc Tuan. For me, going out during the holiday that coincides with the outbreak of the new epidemic is a memorable experience when the feeling of insecurity is constant, from time to time I go online to read the news to update the situation. However, at least, I think I have implemented the 5K rule well and complied with all regulations on epidemic prevention in the places I went through.

All entertainment activities, eating and drinking are concentrated, making this place crowded without turning off the lights.
