It has been a year-and-a-half since we started blogging at Who took our cheese puffs away?, during which time we have put out more than 100 posts on the various restaurants we have had the privilege to eat at during the past few years. Initially started as a more viable alternative to Facebook for sharing holiday food photos with our friends and family (since Facebook was taking far too long to load up photos in large albums and lacked an instinctive interface to write about each photo), our blog has gradually become a passion and hobby of ours, and has complemented the development of our love of eating as well.
We were/still are novices at photography and have no experience at creative writing, and our humble attempts to catalog the photos and recollections of our meals at nice restaurants remains primarily a tool for us to relive and remember the great, the good, the ordinary and the downright awful breakfasts, lunches and dinners we have had during our travels but also increasingly those we have back home when we have a meal out. In addition, it became a medium for us to share restaurant experiences with our friends who otherwise would find it tedious listening to us drone on about them whenever we meet up.
As the content of Who took our cheese puffs away? grew, it became harder and harder for us to introduce posts which do not reference a meal specifically but contain our general thoughts, ideas or reminiscences into the blog without disrupting its flow. Also, as we are food porn addicts and have short attention spans, we realised that when looking at other people's food blogs, we rarely ever finish reading them and just zoom in on the photos for our fix. Hence, it is for this reason that we have decided to leave Who took our cheese puffs away? as a food porn website and start this new blog, as a sounding board for our random muses, quirky views and controversial proclamations as well as memories and photos of certain meals or food which don't fit so well with our other blog.
