It’s just food.
I don’t normally read food blogs unless they are peppered with personal life anecdotes/ they contain relevant local references and recommendations, or/ and they contain the recipes of which food they are featuring. I enjoy reading The Dutchess and Beaulotus, one for her light hearted snippets on food and life, the other a very candid and real sharing about her life, family and mouth watering recipes.
What I definitely feel irritating about some food blogs is the way the author puts on this superior snooty air and talks about Michelin places or expensive delicacies like the rest of the world are not deserving. Come on, get a grip, it’s just food. And moreover you are not the cook, so what’s the huff and puff about?!
As you probably guessed, I am not fussy about food. I don’t necessarily have to go to expensive restaurants all the time, save for happy occasions celebrated in the House of Xtralicious. In fact, give me dai pai tong food and I am a happy woman. 
Same here …. I love street food and I don’t think I will enjoy fine dining cos that’s not me. I will feel very tense in a fine dining environment like everything has to be proper and must be elegant.
Babe : I don’t mind fine dining when the occasion calls for it, and yes, I really love street food.
Well, that’s human nature for you. Some brandish designer handbags, others Michelin stars.
I’ve been to all sorts of places from Michelin starred restaurants to hawker stalls. I won’t deny I enjoy the swankier establishments but hey, one of our most favourite places in Singapore is a certain satay stall in Lau Pa Sat, too. All I’m saying is, if the food’s good, we’re there.
Dutchess: That’s what I am saying. It’s alright to love fine food and designer goods. It’s quite another story to act all snooty and superior about it. You are right, human nature, I suppose.
