NET Chat : Cross-curriculum vocabulary IH (1) 16/04/15 Today we’re starting a new subject. We’re going to learn more about IH or Integrated Humanities. This year’s IH vocabulary will be all about local food. As we all know – Hong Kong is a gourmet paradise. Gourmet essentially means good food, in other words, Hong Kong offers lots of good food to suit all food lovers. Apart from all the international restaurants once can find in Hong Kong, the city also has many different local restaurants. I’m going to tell you about the three most popular types. The first one is dim sum restaurants. Dim sum literally means to touch heart, and is about groups of friends dining together and sharing lots of bite sized or small dishes. The second type of restaurant is called a Cha Chaan Teng. This is a tea restaurant or café with a very affordable menu. The dishes are a mixture of Hong Kong and Hong Kong-Western cuisine or food. The next restaurant is called a dai pai dong. Dai pai dong restaurants used to be open-air or outside restaurants found all over the streets of Hong Kong. The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department began to close down these outside restaurants many years ago and the dai pai dong restaurants can now usually be found inside cooked food or fresh market buildings. Let’s recap the vocabulary: Dim Sum Cha Chaan Teng Dai Pai Dong Next week I’ll discuss the different types of food that you can get at these restaurants and in Hong Kong in general. Remember to look out for the vocabulary posters on the 4th floor notice board. .
