Our Food Blogging Fail
We know a lot of travel bloggers like to take photographs of their food but we are always a little embarrassed to whip out our cameras and do so ourselves. To get around this we have hired, at great expense, a photographer and sent him out around Chiang Mai, to restaurants of our choice, to photograph his favoured dish.
Unfortunately, things didn’t work out as planned. While he reports enjoying Street Pizza‘s house speciality, a nar-wad venison sausage pizza, he reached the end of his meal before remembering he was supposed to be working. This is the only shot he sent in.
For our second attempt to get quality shots of meals, the sort of thing done so well by travel bloggers such as Mark Wiens of Migrationology we were once again very disappointed with the results. For the second week running he reports enjoying his meal, a stir fried chicken with black pepper number, but, once again, he forgot to get his shot before scoffing the lot.
In a third time lucky shtick The Working Traveller had been hoping for better results this week from our expensively hired food photographer. We have been visiting Taiwan Restaurant regularly for years, enjoying the beef soup and dumplings (70 baht) with a side order of boiled dumplings (also 70 baht) for even more tasty dumpling goodness.
While there are definite signs of improvements in that our man managed to digitally capture one of the 12 boiled dumplings he wolfed down, we were still very disappointed when we received this photo with the message: ‘man, those were good – this is the best I could manage :)’
Once again we send our fecker of a photographer out onto the streets of Chiang Mai to capture some beautiful images of his favourite meals, and once again he brings us this, this… pah.
On this occasion our money buys us two plates of nothing. Plate one, I am told, was an entrée of spring rolls, while plate two shows all that is left of Pla Duk Phad Phed (Spicy Curry Cat Fish with Herbs). The whole meal came in at around 175 baht.
Bah! We give up.
