Introduction
Malays, Chinese, and Indians make up the majority of the population of Malaysia, which is a
multicultural nation. As a consequence of Malaysia's diverse cultural makeup, the country is
home to a large number of distinct cuisines, including Malay, Indian, Chinese, and Nyonya
cuisines, each of which has its distinctive flavour profile. This website was created to
highlight the numerous ethnic cuisines that are found across Malaysia in an effort to raise
awareness of Malaysian food among a wider audience, particularly among tourists from other
countries that go to the country. Food to Know is the name that we have given to the website
that provides visitors with an introduction to the cuisines of many ethnic groups along with
photographs of the dishes.
Process
Food To Know is a website that introduces Malaysian traditional dishes. Food To know is a
personal blog that is managed by a team of 4 people, who are committed to eating authentic
Malaysian cuisine. The main design concept of the “Food To Know” website belongs to the
INS style and minimalist, which is the favorite style of the youngest generation nowadays,
although it is simple but looks very comfortable, due to the color we use mostly earth tones
and nude color such as beige color. To assist readers to get our content easily, we have
applied all the parts in the header that will be present on every site of the website. To make it
perfect, “Food To Know” websites also included the mouse-over effect, which is the display
area that opens as soon as a user leaves the mouse pointer on a function element of a web
page. This might give a clear signal to the reader to see what’s clickable in the site menu.
Besides, ‘Food To Know' websites also provide a good user experience and readers can
access and navigate our website with ease. The “Food To Know” website had six parts in the
site menu, including Home, About, Malay Cuisine, Chinese Cuisine, Indian Cuisine, and
Nyonya Cuisine. Below are the details of each page of the website.
Home Page

The Home page of “Food To Know” had a slideshow section that showed some of Malaysia's
traditional food streets such as Petaling Street, Jonker Walk, Pasar Seni, and Brickfields Little
India. Besides, we also included a ‘Meet The Blogger” section, which allows the reader to
know who is the blogger and who is the blogger they interact with. The last section of this
page is the subscribe section, which allows readers to subscribe without any additional fees to
get the scoop on the “Food To Know” blog.
About Page
Next, the About page of the “Food To Know” website is to introduce and briefly describes
the purpose of our website.
Blog
Moreover, the main body of the website is Malaysian traditional dishes. “Food To Know”
included the four major Malaysian traditional dishes. To be clear and easy to read, we had to
distribute it into four pages including Malay Cuisine, Chinese Cuisine, India Cuisine, and
Nyonya Cuisine to publish our blog.
Experience
Based on the fact that we are studying Management and Finance course, we are not related to
website design at all, but through this assignment, we learned how to design a website. At
first, we thought it would be easy to create a website, but it was not. An attractive website
needs to have a background color that is comfortable for the reader and easy-to-understand
content. Not only that, but we had to learn how to make it a visual feast for the readers and
how to lay out it in a way that would make them feel interested in continuing to read the
content on our website. We created a website called Food to Know to let people from other
countries know about traditional Malaysian food. Finally, through this assignment, we
learned how to design a website and the importance of teamwork.

Feedback
The feedback for our “Food to know” may be very clean and understandable. The use of an
easy template saved the web website online from being overly complicated and confusing.
This website is also straightforward to study and clean to locate hyperlinks to the subsequent
page. It is likewise now no longer terrified of white space, which facilitates lessening the
cognitive load on the viewer in addition to the opportunity of perceiving the facts provided on
the screen.
The “Food to know” consists of quite a few Malaysian cuisines of diverse ethnicities.
Examples include the Malay nasi lemak, the Chinese Bak Kut Teh, the Indian roti canai, and
the Nyonya asam laksa. It consists of pix to raise the viewer's attention. The website
continues in stability, legibility, readability, typography, symbolism, more than one view, and
shadeation or texture with a view to talk successfully. This web page makes use of the best
unique sizes and fonts that aren't too some distance apart, which prevents the viewer from
turning into visually confused. He has the food as a caption and in bold in order that a few of
those who do not need to study the thing will recognize what food is pictured. It is an easy
and easy internet site for others to recognize Malaysian food culture.
