the inspiration

I wouldn't say that it's been a long time coming, in fact, it was rather spontaneous. I was looking for a nice wallpaper for the new year and discovered a whole throve of food photos which have been (sadly) sitting in my iPhoto. I decided that I should put them into good use. My instagram is 80% food, 19% travels, 1% rubbish, but 100% me. I love food. I'm not kidding.

the lau-nua diaries (TLD, for short) hopes to be as honest as possible, like your regular kopitiam tar mee pok, and certainly not as pretentious as our Singaporean coffee culture (or the lack thereof). It's all about food that makes us happy, food that makes our mouth water, and food that makes us lau-nua. As a start, Michelin stars do not work our rating system - it's a level playing field out there. Each man is good in his craft, like how we would gladly give Tai Hwa Bak Chor Mee 10 Michelin Stars... but no.

We are not sure where this blog will take us or how far we'll journey on this new blogging adventure but hoping for the best! (ie. some invites to soft-launches would be great) Thanks to my sis, T, who gamely responded to be my co-author of this food diary. And to my parents too, who helped us coin the name and rating system.

thanks!
