Acknowledgment
This assignment would not have been possible without the support of many people. I would like to express my deepest and sincere gratitude to my dear lecturer, Chef Arieff who was abundantly helpful and offered invaluable assistance, support and guidance. Deepest gratitude is also due to my group mates; Ashikin, Kai, Catherine, and Jaffar; without their help, this assignment would not have been successful.
Special thanks also to all juniors who were so supportive in the kitchen. Not forgetting my best friends who were always there for me.
I would also like to express my love and gratitude to my beloved family; for their understanding, endless love and support through the duration of my study.
Chapter 1
Mongolia
Mongolia lies in central Asia between Siberia on the north and China on the south. It is slightly larger than Alaska.
The productive regions of Mongolia—a tableland ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 ft (914 to 1,524 m) in elevation—are in the north, which is well drained by numerous rivers, including the Hovd, Onon, Selenga, and Tula. Much of the Gobi Desert falls within Mongolia.
Mongolian Geography and Landscapes
Located in the landlocked plateau of Central Asia between China and Russian Siberia, Mongolia covers an area of 1,566,500 sq. km. Mongolia stretches about 2,400 kilometers from west to east and about 1,260 kilometers from north to south. The total length of the country's borders is 8,158 km. The geography of the country is characterized by great diversity. From north to south it can be divided into four areas: mountain-forest steppe, mountain steppe and in the extreme south, semi-desert and desert (the latter being about 30% of the entire territory).
