Video Review

Hello~ I haven't posted for a pretty long time...


Today, I'd like to introduce a restaurant video!!






Turtle Tower Restaurant






-What is revealed about the reviewer and the culture (both the local culture and/ or ethnic background of the food?)




The restaurant makes  nothern vietnamese cuisine of Hanoi. The cook is the speaker's father, who has been cooking all his life. He was taught to cook by his mother who also was taught to cook from her father. They are especially famous for their beautiful and delicious broth.


-What criticism do you have of the video, either concerning the professionalism, production quality or the content




I think the quality of the video is very high, with explanation from the restaurant and many pictures and videos of the cooking process and cuisines. I also did like the way there were a kind of interview in the video. However, I wanted to see the specific things of the restaurant rather than people talking about broth.


-Notice whether the voices of the speaker are monotonous or have a pleasing emphasis certain words and phrases. How does that affect your understanding and enjoyment of it?




Speaker who introduced the restaurant was speaking from third person's point of view and explained the history and cuisines of the restaurant. Other people who were having discussions about broth was talking from their own point of view. People discussed about how they like broth or not.


-Are there any expressions or phrases that stand out in your mind after watching this video? What techniques or languages would you like to use when filming your own video review?


No, not really, but I remember people talking about "broth". So I got an image that the main theme about the video was broth not the restaurant, and that made me confused.
