Foodie lives and breathes food – venture

In our daily lives, there are a few things that we must have in order to survive.

As an example, one of the things we can’t live without would be food.

In this modernized society that we’re living in, people are constantly taking picture of their food and posting it up on social media such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

In order to understand more about the life of food enthusiasts, we had an interview with Liew Pey Ching, a 21 year old who constantly ventures for food.

Everyone has a different reason behind their food venture.

“I am obsessed about food because the food I ate would determine my lifestyle.” said by Liew.

There are also different reasons why people choose to snap pictures of their food.

“The reason why I take photos of nice food is because I have passion towards food and I would like to share it with friends and family” explained Liew.

While venturing for nice food, pictures of the food on the menu would be one of the factors that influences the choice of food being ordered.

Liew mentioned that the pictures inside the menu would affect the decision on ordering the food as it would serve as a guide for her to order food.

On top of that, the price would be another factor that affects the decision on ordering the food.

“Even though the pictures inside the menu look very nice, the price would play a big role on whether or not to order the food.” added Liew.

 In this modern society, people are constantly craving for nice food to satisfy their needs.

Hence that’s why they have higher expectations on just the appearance of the food.

This is especially true for the foodies.

“I only take photos of food that looks nice, and that of I rarely have the chance to eat.” mentioned Liew.

Besides that, the environment would also be one of the factors that influences the mood of people on whether or not to take photos the food.

“Of course, if there’s a great environment, I would be more enticed to take photos of the food.

Say a restaurant with a great interior, I would take a photo of the food while including the design of the restaurant in the background, as it would make the overall picture look beautiful.” she added.

A nice restaurant coupled with nice food is definitely worth a second visit.

“Every restaurant has its valuation on whether or not it is worth a second visit.” clarified Liew.

The valuation would not only depend on the taste of the food, but the environment of the restaurant as well.

“I would often recommend a restaurant to my friends to try if I find it very nice.” she added.

 “It is becoming a common behavior for me to take photos of my meals before having them.

I also do believe it is a common trend nowadays, especially for the younger generation.” mentioned Liew.

Before ending the interview, she talked about the current trend of taking photos of food before having them.

“Some people do this because they want to record their daily lives while some just want to take beautiful photographs of food.” explained Liew.

Every foodie has their own reason for food venturing, which undoubtedly includes Liew.

There is no downside to having a foodie as a friend, but rather an upside as you’ll almost always listen about their food ventures.

Then, you could plan your own food venture instead!
