Le Garden

I was dining at a vegetarian restaurant nearby my area with some friends. I'm not a fan of of vegetarian, in fact, I hate vegetarian. I'll try to avoid as much as I can whenever I heard someone suggested that we were going to dine in a vegetarian restaurant. One of my friend, itu celaka Nian You, told me that the food there is soooooooooo nice that it's worth trying. I stopped trusting his taste ever since.

The food I ordered, which I don't even want to remember its name, taste so awful that I almost vomited it out. It was a torture swallowing the food into my throat and I almost died of starvation in the process. Vegetarians believe that there'll be good karma if they stopped eating meat (am I right?). Well, that's so true! After a few swallowing of the rubbish food, Jason SMSed me. He told me that there was a food review he need to do and he need someone to help him to finish the food. The place will be Le Garden in Dataran Pahlawan. Only idiot like Jian will reject the offer, right? Furthermore, I suck at food photography. This is the best time to polish my skill on food photography. Without hesitation, I agreed and off we went to the restaurant.

We met Allison there. Jason will be in charged in photographing while Allison was doing her interviews with the staffs there. My job there was the simplest - help them finish the food while snapping some pictures along the way. Shiok tak? Bwahahahahahaha

Here comes the food served that day...

















Look at the cheese dripping out from it!!! Among all the pictures I took, I guess this is the one I satisfied the most, and of course, the most presentable one... hehe...





I suck at food review, so please head to Jason's post for the review done by him :P

So guys, eat more vegetarian, good karma will come to you. It's proven by me! LOL!!

obviously coming here with an empty stomach was a bad idea.. LOL.....

hao said...

jasonmumbles: Thank you thank you

falcon: Make me hungry as well :(

hf: Glad that you feel that way. It means that my food photography is doing what it suppose to do: making people feel hungry XD

3point8: That's not garlic bread (if I remember correctly)... hahaha

robin: Hehehe... too balance is good or bad ah? :P

Robin Wong said...

ahahhaa there is no good or bad balance lah, depends on what you want to produce in your pictures.
I would usually want to capture the mood of the place, hence I would go for Jason's setting, resulting in a touch warmer feel.
But hey, thats just my preference.. who cares, ahahahaha... as long as ur pics come out nice and sui.... can liaw !!

Jason Lioh said...

Hehe. Agree with Robin.

Your white balance too balanced until it loses some of its colour. For example, the lady fingers, the green very pale, even though its meant to be that way. On the other hand, the white balance for udang masak lemak is just perfect, cause it brought out the colors of the curry, very stand out. :D

robin: Ya hor, don't care lah, as long as it looks appetizing can d. Hahahahaha

jasonmumbles: Cos I don't like the lady finger? I'm bias, I only put more effort in the food I like... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA :P
