What do u SEE in Food?

What do u think of when you are looking at food presented in front of you?
Satisfaction because your hunger for food maybe fulfilled?
Grateful because you still have things to eat while there are people out there starving?
Irritation because the food does not suit your taste?

For me, i see more than that, i see FUN.

Since young, my taste towards food changes accordingly, either to the environment or simply to the mood of that time.
When i was small, vegetable is my nightmare. It tasted like dry grass to me. At that time, i am more to a carnivore, meat certainly is my favourite. I just like the feel of chewing the fine strings of protein source. It is that feel that gave me a sense of satisfaction.

However, as i grow up, i started to eat vegetable. It is at certain age that i feel that vege isnt that bad after all. Even those 'ugly' bittergourd that i once despised alot have gotten into my list of 'Edible Substance'. I guess, that's a growth in me on the factor of food.

So, enough with my story. Let's go back to the topic-- FUN. Why do i see fun in food??

Do you remember how 'nice looking' and well presented food are served in particular places? Even the most common food can be decorated in such ways that when you look at it, you feel that you are actually looking at a piece of art.
Yes, that is the power of the chefs. Able to transform raw edible substances into well presented food. The way of arranging food, the way of putting colors on it ( be it healthy or not), the way of designing the presentation of food, these have always amaze me.

Inspired and with a sense of playfulness within myself, i have always tried to play with food, before or after it is eaten. I have always tried to arrange it in my own ways, be it the nice way or the disgusting way. And i do it just for the pure feeling of FUN.
