Hello, it’s been a while since I’ve touched this little blog and my open call for questions.  It’s been a rough week.

All these questions were asked but I won’t reveal who asked what. I will tell you that I did not omit any questions though, so nothing hidden here.

Did you hug someone after taking that picture?

No, I probably did hug someone 5 minutes after though. No, it was not because of the drink in my hand.

It’s Friday and it’s late, you and your friends are hungry – what place do you think of automatically?

Flo Tea Room. I think this is only because I passed by the place today and so the thought of it is fresh in my mind. I think any of the HK Style Cafe‘s is what I would think of, mainly because they’re the ones still open late.

Do you cook?

Yes, as a matter of fact, I do cook. I have a cooking category for it, but I don’t usually take pictures of every meal. Not everything I cook is restaurant/picture presentable, it’s more just quick and dirty, get the food cooked and eat. Although eating out is a luxury, I consider cooking to be an even greater and more intimate experience. It takes time and love.

What’s your favorite dish or the dish you feel best serving to others?

Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. MMMmmMmmm…!

What kind of camera are you using?

This WAS shown on my photography page before, but I had removed my list of gear because it’s not the equipment, it’s the human behind it that makes a good picture. If you’re really that curious and just need to know, it’s my cell phone.

…okay, I’m joking. Canon 30D & Canon SD780.

Do you have a process you go through while blogging about food? ie. what kind of items do you bring? a notebook? camera?

I would say I don’t really have a process, but I do notice a pattern. Given enough time, everything establishes itself into a pattern.
I will always bring a camera, be it my DSLR or my P&S. Both work fine, just whatever is more convenient for me to carry around..usually my P&S!
No notebook, I like to travel light. I would feel too much like a critic if I was to bring a notebook, even if it would make it a lot easier for me to remember what I had ordered or little notes about service. God bless my youthfulness for my good memory (at times) though.

1. Backstory or reason for visiting the restaurant.
2. Google Street View for the exterior. I usually eat dinner, so it’s hard to get a nice picture sometimes. That and it’s nice to have a map to interact with.
3. Description of restaurant, history, ambiance, etc.
4. Food pictures, description, thoughts, etc
*  Relevant or other interesting posts may be linked to if I think they’re good reads.

What kind of things do you write down?

n/a..see above.

Do you have a scale that you use?

No scale, would it be more helpful if I was to implement one? It’s still all very subjective, my opinion and experience versus yours, may not be the same!

Who pays for your dinner outings? Mom?

Majority of the meals have been paid for by myself and the money I’ve saved up from jobs & etc. Usually if I go out for dinner with my mom, like it says in the post..then yea, she’ll pay.

If you had to pick, what is your favourite type of food to eat?

What a tough question! I would have to say..finger food like burgers or sandwiches.

Are you kickass at dodgeball???

I don’t know, how about you come to the last playoffs of the VDL season and judge that for yourself? =D
