Assessment of Training Quality of National Dietitians, their Professional Role and Prestige To become a Registered Dietitian, you must obtain the Postgraduate Diploma (or MSc) in Human Nutrition and Dietetics at Hong Kong University SPACE Institute (co-organized with the University of Ulster, UK), or its equivalent qualifications, namely, Registered Dietitian of Commission of Dietetic Registration, American Dietetic Association; or State Registered Dietitian of Health Professions Council (UK); or Registered Dietitian of Provincial Registration, Dietitians of Canada; or Accredited Practising Dietitians of Dietitians Association of Australia. The Hong Kong Academy of Accredited Dietitians (HKAAD) was established in April 2018. The HKAAD has been accredited under the Accredited Registers Scheme for Healthcare Professions ("AR Scheme") by the HKSAR Government. It mainly serves as the accreditation body for maintaining a register of Accredited Dietitians. 5. Brief Description of National Healthcare System and Private Practice Health care in Hong Kong is provided in large scale by public hospitals. The Hospital Authority is a statutory body established on 1 December 1990 to manage all public hospitals in Hong Kong. The Hospital Authority manages 43 public hospitals / institutions, 49 specialist outpatient clinics and 73 general outpatient clinics. The Authority is mainly responsible for delivering a comprehensive range of secondary and tertiary specialist care and medical rehabilitation through its network of health care facilities. There are 12 private hospitals in Hong Kong, providing both in and out- patient services with specialist care. 6. Employment Opportunities Profile Dietitians working in clinical settings provide medical nutrition services, i.e. the care and intervention to promote the nutritional well-being of the patients taking into account their medical conditions and health needs. Dietitians working in community settings advise people on optimal nutrition for disease prevention and health promotion. Dietitians working in food services organize, plan and manage food services operations. There are also dietitians working in other areas of dietetics, including sports nutrition for athletes, health screening, dietetic research, student training at universities, commercial food companies etc. 7. Obtaining Work Permits In order to work in Hong Kong as a non-permanent resident, you are required to have a completed employment visa application form. Individuals can apply for the admission schemes for talent, professionals, and Entrepreneurs via the gov.hk. For further details, please visit this website https://www.gov.hk/en/nonresidents/visarequire/other/index.htm. 8. Local Food Customs and Culture Traditionally speaking, Chinese restaurants tend to be noisy and crowded affairs. They are places for social gatherings; since Hong Kong apartments are usually too small to entertain friends and family. The Chinese usually dine in large groups; the more, the merrier. The basic rule is to order one dish per person, plus one extra dish or a soup, with all dishes placed in the center of the table and shared by everyone. Yum Cha (tea drinking) is a very important part of Chinese life and Dim Sum, is the highlight of Yum Cha. Dim Sum ranges from shiu mai (steamed minced pork and shrimp dumplings), har gau (steamed shrimp dumplings), cha siu bau (barbecued pork buns), au yuk (steamed minced beef balls), fun gwor (steamed rice-flour dumplings filled with pork, shrimp, and bamboo shoots), and tsuen guen (deep-fried spring rolls filled with shredded pork, chicken, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and bean sprouts) to spareribs. Congee (thick rice porridge), for which traditional Hong Kong cuisine is famous for, served with meat and preserved eggs, chicken, fish slice, seafood, gingko or vegetable. As the name Yum Cha implies, tea is also offered. Usually it will be oolong, pu'er or scented tea like jasmine. Luxury restaurants specializing in Beijingese, Shanghainese, Sichuan or Indian, Vietnamese, Thai, Korean, Japanese, or Italian food, friendly teahouses, lively dai pai dong (street-side stands), and dessert houses are also abundant in Hong Kong Food in restaurant houses are economical and various in both Chinese and western styles. An alternative is to dine at hotel buffets that offer Chinese and international dishes. Soup is an important course in Hong Kong cuisine as well as a cultural symbol. Soups are believed to be good for both health and beauty. With specific Chinese herbal medicines like ginger, soups can treat certain illnesses. Hong Kong people usually cook soup by themselves at home. 9. CE Opportunities Hong Kong Dietitians Association Ltd and Hong Kong Nutrition Association provides continuing dietetic education programs. To maintain the Accredited Dietitian title or Full Membership status, a HKDA full member has to fulfill the requirements for continuing dietetic education program. CPE opportunities are provided through IAAND professional development activities such as IAAND conferences and webinars, through the Academy distance learning programs, the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and the Academy Foundation resources. 10. IAAND Volunteer Opportunities Opportunities to assist IAAND with your time are probably endless. Learn as much as you can about IAAND and where your skills and interest would be of most benefit both to you and to IAAND.

MASTER THESIS Carolien Potter HASSELT UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF ARCHITECTURE AND ARTS 2014 - 2015 Supervisor: Dr. Katelijn Quartier Tutor: Philippe Swartenbroux PREFACE The first words of my thesis I would like to dedicate to those who have supported me during the project, even when I was 10.000 kilometres away from them. First and foremost I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Katelijn Quartier for her honest advise and feed- back throughout the research project. Secondly I would like to thank Philippe Swartenbroux, for the nu- merous tutorials, clever suggestions and motivating inspirations. Many thanks for letting me see that the solution was often right in front of me. Furthermore I would like to thank everyone who made it possible for me to go to Hong Kong in the first place, as well as my friends who showed me the city and the outlying island, as if I were a local. Also many thanks to those who helped me make my trip abroad a whole new experience. And last but not least I want to thank particularly my boyfriend Domien, for the love and patience during the project, as well as my friends and family for their encouragements and support when I needed it the most. ABSTRACT Even from the times before Marco Polo travelled and documented his travels to Asia, there has been an interest in other unknown countries to write about it and to show others the interesting and different customs from those cultures.

The major types can be roughly defined as: East Asian with its origins in Imperial China and now encompassing modern Japan and the Korean peninsula; Southeast Asian which encompasses Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines; South Asian states that are made up of India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan as well as several other countries in this region of the Vietnamese meal, in Asian culture food often serves as the centerpiece of social continent; Central Asian and Middle gatherings Eastern. Terminology "Asian cuisine" most often refers to East Asian cuisine (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean), Southeast Asian cuisine and South Asian cuisine. In much of Asia, the term does not include the area's native cuisines. For example, in Hong Kong and mainland China, Asian cuisine is a general umbrella term for Japanese cuisine, Korean cuisine, Filipino cuisine, Thai cuisine, Vietnamese cuisine, Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine, and Indonesian cuisine; but Chinese cuisine and Indian cuisine are excluded. The term Asian cuisine might also be used to Indonesian cuisine address the eating establishments that offer a wide array of Asian dishes without rigid cuisine boundaries; such as selling satay, gyoza or lumpia for an appetizer, som tam, rojak or gado-gado for salad, offering chicken teriyaki, nasi goreng or beef rendang as the main course, tom yam and laksa as soup, and cendol or ogura ice for dessert.
