1&2 Hi everybody!

Welcome to Unit 5 of the course – English for Tourism!

Have you had your meal before starting this lesson? I think you might get hungry
while studying this Unit because it’s all about food and drink around the world.

Now, are you ready for our food tour today? Let’s begin!

Unit 5: FOOD AND DINING

3 The unit covers two sub-topics:

● International Cuisine
● Food Ordering and Vietnamese Cuisine

By the end of the unit, you will be able to:

- describe some ingredients and cooking methods

- describe some specialties in international and Vietnamese cuisine

4 First of all, we will study some vocabulary related to cooking methods and
dishes. Can you recognize the two dishes here? They are the signature dishes of
Vietnam: Goi Co Hu Dua - Young coconut palm salad and Pho – Beef noodles.
Hmm…They look so delicious, right? You will learn more popular dishes of
Vietnam in this unit. And remember to practice your pronunciation when saying
the names of the dishes.

6 To promote one country’s cuisine, food events play a very important role. In
Vietnam, we have organized many events. And here are some examples.

Annual Asia International Coffee Conference (HCMC)

Vietfood & Beverage (Hanoi)

Royal Gastronomy – Hue festival

7 And these are international events in other countries. You will learn more about
them in this unit.

Sydney Good Food and Wine Show

London Seafood Festival

London Food Fair

Roots Restaurant, Malaysia

8 Next, we will learn about menu and food ordering.

This is one example of a Vietnamese-style menu in English.

 Let me share with you two common types of menus: À la carte Menu & Set
9 Menu.

An à la carte menu allows us to choose dishes from a list of options, each priced
separately. It provides flexibility to order dishes according to our preferences and
dietary restrictions, with prices varying for each item.

In contrast, a set menu, also known as a fixed menu, offers a pre-determined

selection of courses for a set price. We have limited choices within each course,
and the menu is often designed to create a well-rounded dining experience. Set
menus are popular for special occasions and offer a convenient way to explore a
restaurant's signature dishes with a fixed price for the entire meal. If you don’t
want to be bothered by so many choices or separate prices…If you trust the
choices recommended by a restaurant, then a set menu is the right one for you.

10 So, Are you ready to order?

We will learn about the basic steps.

11 Study the Menu: After being seated, you will be given a menu. Take some time to
review the menu items, including appetizers, main courses, desserts, and
beverages. Some restaurants may offer daily specials or a separate drink menu.

Order Drinks: When a server approaches your table, they may ask if you'd like
something to drink. You can order water, soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, or any
other available options.

Appetizers: Decide if you want to start with an appetizer. If so, let the server
know which appetizer(s) you'd like.

Main Course: After enjoying your appetizer or if you're ready to order your main
course, inform the server of your choices. Specify any modifications or dietary
preferences (e.g., vegetarian) at this time.

Sides and Extras: If your meal doesn't include sides, order any additional items
you'd like to accompany your main course, such as fries, salad, or vegetables.
 Special Requests: Communicate any special requests or allergies to the server, so
the kitchen can accommodate your needs.

Dessert: If you plan to have dessert, you can order it after finishing your main
course. Some diners prefer to decide on dessert later.

12 That’s all for Unit 5.

Thank you!
