Term break - spent 5 days in malaysia; eating, cycling, shopping, and watching FREE world cup on either TV1 or indo channel. That should be the way, allowing the masses to watch the world cup for free. Even Astro offers the world cup free for current subscribers. Singapore need to learn a thing or two from malaysia.

On monday my photography skills were needed by my cousin who runs a vegetarian eatery. He needs to do a major revamp/update to his menus. I told him 'you need to get a pro to really deceive people into eating ur food'. But as humble as vegetarians gets, he just wants something nicer than his digicam-conceived menus. Initially with the 1st few dishes I was alil scared and uncomfortable, afraid i'll screw up, then as more dishes came, I took more photos and soon I settled into a nice rhythm. About one hour on, we're still at it! The dishes just keep coming. And not long later I was feeling tired already. It's alot of concentration to do. It's the 1st time I actually get tired from taking photographs. Later at home I counted 47 dishes. Some were customers' orders and the rest were specially whipped up for the shoot. And I was wondering if just taking photos of the food was tiring, what about the cook himself?



Not sure if this dish is called Shark's Fin..

This dish is called Peking Duck

Yup, you see it right. This is mai pian xia, or oatmeal prawns

Sambal Fish

As you can see, all their food are actually fake meat, all in the ultra versatile form of flour. They make everything look different and varied, but there's not much difference in taste. Im not sure why they do this, creating fake beef, fake prawns. A vegetarian shouldnt be even thinking about meat.

But I love a vegetarian meal. Because it doesnt not have bones! I hate anything with bones, im not a dog! That's why, dory fish fillet, chicken breast meat, burgers & fries are all my favourites.
