About ipohwav3
People often ask why I blog about food? Cos it’s easy to blog about.
And after 1 year involved in the blogsphere, I have myself a bunch of new friends who share the same passion for one thing in common - food.
Currently working in KL, it’s a whole new life and experience to me. And of course, it’s a whole new environment to be explore and hidden treasures (food) to be uncovered. 
Many readers asked me the same questions:
1. “How to take good pictures?”
2. “What type of camera do you use?”
1. I myself is constantly experimenting on the food photographing techniques, therefore sometimes you might find that my pictures quality are different from post to post (might look good on one post and turned out blurred and dark in another post). But the basic techniques which required to take a good picture would be:
- Steady hands. Else, get a mini tripod or maybe rest the camera on a hard object such as box.
- Get a decent camera. Preferably with higher zoom (most models came with 3x optical zoom but if you can get a higher one, the better), 5 megapixels or above and from a good brand such as Canon or Nikon, rather than BenQ or Grandvision.
- If possible, place the food under bright lighting or next to a window. If both of the options are out, then maybe you can try with alternatives, such as flashlight from Sony Ericsson handphone (most of the floggers use this method in desperation LOL!). I don’t flash my food as I find the light is too harsh and it also produce shadows.
2. I’m currently using a compact digital camera, not DSLR as thought by many. I got my Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2 in March 2007, it’s my first camera and I have been using it since then. In case you’re wondering, nope, I’m not upgrading to any DSLR anytime soon as I still have lots to learn to handle my Lumix. I haven’t really fully utilize its functions and unleash its potential yet. :p
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2 (discontinued model)
5.0 Megapixels CCD
Maximum 6x optical zoom
Maximum 4x digital zoom
6.1-36.6mm lens
Shutter speeds from 1/2,000 to 8 seconds
Mega OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer)

Hey, there s’thing different in town.
U may wana check out this place called “sbread” at Midvalley Gardens (Lower Ground Floor, in between the Old and New wing). I’ve sorta tried it in Bangkok before. Really good old fashioned toast with a generous topping of Kaya (that’s really out of this world!!). The kaya has 3 flavours. My favourite is the Yam coz it has REAL yam chunks in it and it’s served hot on your toast. The other one is pandan and vanilla kaya. Apart from kaya, they also hv other interesting spreads like chilli paste with shredded chicken floss. Very unique.
Worth checking it out! I ordered one and one was definitely not enough!

Jocelyn: Is it newly opened? Thanks a lot for the information! From the way you described it, it sure sounds very appetizing.

Hi there!
Do you know of any good halal restaurants in Ipoh to host a birthday party for about 10 people?
Do you know if the Citrus restaurant in Ipoh is halal? I want to invite some of my Muslim friends to the birthday party.
Thank you!

Lim: Hello. Citrus does not have a halal certification because they serve liquor but they don’t have any pork dishes. I think most of the cafes such as Paprika, Moven Peak and Indulgence follow the same concept.
