UP Food Tour

they say that i am the sosy type. but i don't really have anything negative about street foods. you might even find me eating what was feared by some men, the balut. i might be standing in front of stalls in the streets eating fishballs, betamax, kikiam, isaw, etc. and when a fraction of the Menggays met, we decided to go to UP Diliman and ate those what i have enumerated.

the place is:

Mang Larry's Isawan, atbp.

UP students and alumni might be very familiar of the place, for i'm not from UP. but i guarantee you that the intestines and other internal parts are very well cleaned and cooked very well. i even ordered twice of IUD or bati-colon as some would call it. the price is really cheap so you can have more servings! after munching on the pig anatomy, a sip of soda will soothe your throat and stomach.

food blog photography

with all the fuzz in the blogging community, i want to take this issue lightly and let's all have fun. being a food blogger for me isn't just posting recipes, reviews, etc. but as what this blog suggests, it is having fun with the people around you. as an entry to this blog, i want to share with you my observations with the food bloggers.

1. before entering, a food blogger gets a picture of the exterior of the food establishment.
2. before eating, a food blogger doesn't let you touch the food unless they catch a very good perspective of the food in terms of photography. the more items in the table, the more pictures they will get.
   
   
3. they also want to have a picture of how they appreciate the food.


4. in terms of plating, they know that the best angle is when the rice is behind all the viands. *thanks to jonel for that brilliant tip*
   
   
5. they see to it that they also have a picture of themselves taking in the food. *warning: bad cap*
   
   

so are you a food blogger?
