Interesting fact: The New York Times wrote about chicken rice. I've loved NYT's food writing for a long time, mainly because the quality of food journalism in Singapore is rather... questionable ("The sauce was good, but did not complement the steak very well" tells me nothing). It's also all I ever really read in newspapers; fashion and food, and sometimes politics, if it interests me. I used to follow their Supreme Court decision reports as well, but ever since the journalist retired this July I've stopped.
I can't remember when I first got into food writing. I started off reading food blogs, and then went on to read books published by food bloggers (Julie Powell, for example). Then I came across Jeffrey Steingarten writing for an article in Vogue, found his book, and never turned back...
I mainly just get really happy reading about food. XD
Also, last weekend we went to Utrecht.
I kind of wish the weather would stay like this forever.
Also, I have a request. For those of you who have been to Europe, or live in Europe (or near it), what are some of the places you've been to that you really love? I want to travel for this year that I'm here, but there are so many things to see I don't even know where to start. Please help me out!
It could be anything or anywhere, from the Eiffel Tower because, well, it's Paris, or Auschwitz-Birkenau, or that tiny little cafe somewhere in Hungary or wherever that you love because it was where you met your first love, or this fantastic place that sells crepes in South Kensington (my friend keeps telling me about this...). I want to visit places with meaning, not just touristy things, and I can't think of anything better than to ask for suggestions.
♥
p.s.: anywhere in the UK or Scandinavia is also really welcome. Because London is just, you know, my favourite city in the world. :/
