It sure taste like "SHIT"

How many times you have been disappointed by a review by a so called "food blogger"? Thank god I have not get "con" by their so call "food review" but i do know many of my friends fall prey to these nonsenses.

Just imagine a bunch of 20 + 1. 2 or 3 years old blogger got invited to a bistro, or posh restaurant and given free food, all in the guise of "food review". The operator of the outlets did not care about these "blogger" sense of taste, or lack of it together, all he/she wants is to make use of their blog traffic to advertise ther outlet. This trick still works as many people in this country still thinks every crap out of the internet is their holy grail in life!

How do a so call "Food blogger" review a dish if he/she know nuts about cooking? most of this so called "expert" do not have a slightest idea the difference between an onion and a shallots, besides the obvious size difference, or the types of ginger use in cooking or available in the fresh markets? for the record sake, some of them not even step into a wet market before!

To these "food blog" operator, if the decor of the place is "in", the music is "hip", then the food must be Good!! does not matter that the food is prepared by a 5 minute stay in the microwave oven.

Another thing to bear in mind is, free food will lead to "bias" review. How can you write bad about an outlet if you are getting freebies from them??

I still recalled that i once read blogs that promote the steamboat buffet in Sunway Area, Although i do not believe a single word from what they have written, but curiosity gets over me, i told myself i need to know what so great about this steamboat buffet and their "chicken wings". Despite warning from foodies friend, i finally pay a visit to a steamboat joint one weekend. I will talk about this is my next posting.

My guideline to a good food review reading are:

1. If the author is below 28 years old, dun bother, he/she still lack of exposure of "real cuisine" yet. most ptobaly still apeing fast food or microwave prepared Cafe stuffs

2. If he/she do not cook, read everything with a pinch of salt! Good eater sure have a few recipe to share!

3. Read his previous posting. If all posting are positive, delete his blog from your bookmark. Nothing in life is so perfect, including things that you put inside your mouth.

4. If all his review are FOC, his thoughts are biased!

If you so called yourself a "food reviewver" please post honestly, i know you get it free, but all of your reader dont! times are bad!

Then, you may ask:"since you are so selective, where you get your food idea?"

Well no particular guide book that i will refer to, the most reliable source is still my circle of foodies friend. If you insist that i gave you a food blog to read since your only friend is the internet, then this is my pick : Precious Pea
