Memoirs of Food turns 2!

On 30th May 2008, I wrote my first entry after much procrastination. It was just a simple ground for me to keep a photolog of my favourite hobby: Eating! The list of places grew over time and when friends ask about places to dine, I could lazily point them to the website and get them to see for themselves!

And so it has been exactly two years since that day! Much has changed from its beginning, from finishing National Service in peace and cluelessly jumping into tertiary education, to updating more frequently and upgrading my cameras. But one thing remains, and that is to share my gastronomic experiences with everyone in the most personal and honest manner!

I think the site layout deserves a revamp for the celebration and thus the brand new look! Special thanks to Roam2Rome for the design, and Harris for the banner shot of me taken in Spruce!

In the future, I hope to diversify a little and do mini write-ups of places I have been to over the years. Of course, food is still the number one topic on my mind which I will continue writing gleefully.

Lastly, I would like to thank each and everyone of you who have been reading this little space of mine! Thank you for the kind comments left and giving wonderful suggestions on where to tickle my tastebuds next. Not forgetting the still-as-patient girlfriend (and more recently, my parents) who tolerates my camera fiddling before tucking into every meal!

Live to eat, and it will always be!
