an afterthought:
meeting fellow floggers was an extremely humbling experience. i thought i knew it, clearly i didn't. some of them embark on weekly food hunts and they have covered places unknown to me (clearly, an adventurous spirit is insufficient, you got to have a driver's license, baby!). the epicurean wisdom some of these seasoned folks possess left me hanging onto every offering of advice and recommendation- look under "gastro-groupie" in the dictionary and you might just find a passport-size photo of me.
having said that i am actually comforted by my limited knowledge. i wouldn't like to proliferate over-discerning tastebuds and a cache-full of knowledge on just about every place i visit. i have a guilty pleasure for conveyor belt sushi and mass-produced buns sold in bakery franchises. choosing enjoyment over wisdom, i feel my simple somewhat crude tastebuds creates the most earnest experiences- so why take the fun out of it?
true, my review credibility may take the backseat but then again, i am not here to tell you what to eat or where to go. my blog is a reflection of enjoyment and what i take pleasure in. you should take my opinions with a pinch of sodium-free salt or better yet, try it out for yourself and feedback to me. i leave the 'critical' aspect to 'old-hands' chubby hubby and umami- they are here for a good reason and they serve this purpose well and proud.
before i get all emotional (or have i already crossed the line?) i would like to end off by thanking each and everyone of you phantom readers for visiting my blog. though only my mum has professed to be an ardent fan, i know the rest of you are out there silently supporting me, calling the toll-free line.. oops sorry, that's for the president's star charity show..
any-ho, really now!
humbly yours,
some like it haute
