I'd like to think of my blog as a diary (too) of my food experiences...and what I write is my honest opinion of the food.....according to my taste buds!contact.ewewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142689964601201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834220008218845143.post-84940310524163769782016-01-21T01:12:02.919+08:002016-01-21T01:12:02.919+08:00Sorry, typo above, should be depriving instead of ...Sorry, typo above, should be depriving instead of depraving.munhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11449093706822850017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834220008218845143.post-48692111350446862072016-01-21T01:10:06.688+08:002016-01-21T01:10:06.688+08:00Aiya, I also always write what I mean lah.

Just that as my blog is not a food review blog like yours (my blog is just my food diary), I don't write every detail about the food (that's why my post is very short). I like the clear soup so I wrote I like the clear soup. I did not write anything about the freshness of the fish. Chill, no one is saying your reviews are negative lah, nor that you are depraving people of business. I am only talking about me only lah in my reply above.munhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11449093706822850017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834220008218845143.post-77500675382063600302016-01-20T18:09:16.388+08:002016-01-20T18:09:16.388+08:00It's perfectly fine to come to a conclusion th...It's perfectly fine to come to a conclusion that's different from mine even after I had given a good review on it (I do that all the time myself even if others rave about the place). After all, taste is very subjective! I believe in writing the truth...at least my perception or personal opinion of what I thought about the food or what the dining experience was to me (and the reader can choose to agree or disagree). If I don't tell it as it is, it defeats the purpose of my personal food blog (this is my principle, it may not be others). <br /><br />Having said that, I don't like it referred to as "negative reviews" but more of "constructive criticisms". It is never the intention of any food blogger (and certainly not mine) to put the restaurant down or deprive people of making a living (I know a lot of hard work goes into making the food business a success). Anyway, one "not-so-great" review from a puny blog like mine is not going to affect their business plus restauranteurs know they can't please everyone (they just have to please enough to survive). At the end of the day, I'd rather write the truth than write something I don't mean.contact.ewewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142689964601201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834220008218845143.post-64184425771093462312016-01-19T23:12:07.310+08:002016-01-19T23:12:07.310+08:00Normally I will not write negative things about a ...Normally I will not write negative things about a stall that someone else gave a glowing review to give them the benefit of a doubt since I have only been there once so it could be their off-day. People making business for a living, not good to give negative review when it could be a once-off thing unless I go there many times and all the times it is bad but it can't be right? since others gave them glowing reviews so I take it that it was a once-off thing. Although I did not write anything negative, I also did not give them a glowing mention.

I must ask my brother to take me there. I like lor bak and also yam cake. And I am very sure I will like the salted egg wrapped with yam too. It's amazing that the lady is still active at 82. Working keeps her strong and sharp I guess.

Maybe it is an once off thing but I dare not order from the stall anymore. The old lady was there but I did not order anything from her since the fish noodle was filling enough. The next time I go to O&S, I may just drop by this eatery to tapao the yam cake, lo mai fan, and salted egg yam wrap from her. munhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11449093706822850017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834220008218845143.post-6044569956234653362016-01-18T12:52:49.600+08:002016-01-18T12:52:49.600+08:00Wei that salted egg yam wrap is not easy to make l...Wei that salted egg yam wrap is not easy to make leh!
