The transference of cuisine and michelin rated Chinese restaurants: A Chef’s perspective of chineseness in Hong Kong
Get PDFThe second paper in a series of research focusing on the transference of cuisine and Michelin rated restaurants Hong Kong, known as a culinary paradise in Asia, has seen a rise in high end Chinese restaurants opening around the city within the Michelin Guide. These restaurants represent some of the most innovative and highest quality Chinese cuisine in the region. The chefs of these restaurants are artisans that expertly try to maintain the integrity of Chinese cuisine while pushing the boundaries of becoming Michelin. This study continues the works of exploring Michelin cuisine while analyzing the changes and challenges chefs face in Hong Kong with regards to cuisine taken from a chef’s perspective. This research is set apart from the rest in that the focus is on the chefs as craftsmen and not their consumers or their perception of the chef’s cuisine. The expanding background of this study means to provide new insights into how chefs work with food. This applied industry research was conducted using secondary data through the COVID-19 pandemic utilizing interviews with chefs, their menus, and their perception of Chinese cuisine
The Effect of Service Learning on the Development of Trait Emotional Intelligence and Adversity Quotient in Youths: An Experimental Study
Get PDFThis study aims to determine the effect of service learning (SL) on the trait emotional intelligence and adversity quotient of Chinese undergraduate students in Hong Kong. The SL programme lasted six months (at least 80 service hours). In a pre-test–post-test experimental design, students who participated in the SL during that time period were classified as the experimental group (n = 139; 69 male, 70 female), whereas students who never participated in SL were classified as the comparison group (n = 133; 66 male, 67 female). Both groups of participants were asked to finish the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS) and the Adversity Response Profile® (ARP) before and after the SL programme. The results showed that there were no significant differences in WLEIS and ARP scores (at the pre-test) between the experimental and comparison groups. The results further revealed that students in the experimental group had better improvements in WLEIS and ARP than those in the comparison group after they completed SL. These findings provide valuable insights and implications for incorporating components of SL into interventions for youths to improve their ability to process emotions and overcome adversity
