The Skinny Bib Food Blog was born in September 2010. It is, on one hand, a gastronomic platform of my greed; on the other, it arises from my firm belief that (good) food helps connect peoples.. of different races, religions, cultures, interests, taste buds, etc. In other words, I eat not only to feel fed but also to learn of those differences and to experience the transcendence of cultures.
As an eater, I am extremely adventurous. I dine my way from the World’s Best Restaurant to the murkiest parts of globe. And I love my share of truffle as much as a hot pot of dog’s penises.. as long as they taste good!
Setting aside my food adventures around the globe, I am a London-based research student (in Shakespeare & Theatre). Thanks to my flexible hours and generous family funding, I intend to eat my way through the Big Smoke and bring you the latest and most exciting eateries this multicultural city has to offer. I am stubborn to be among the first diners of new restaurants, while understanding that the first flock doesn’t always get the best and that (some) restaurants progress with time. But, guess what, I don’t mind. I don’t like waiting around for people to tell me which is good and not. I usually re-visit restaurants to update my experience.
Coming from a Thai-Chinese background, I have a preference for fresh ingredients, bold, multi-dimensional and well-balanced flavours. I don’t understand polite and subtle flavours but it is less likely to make me pulsate with ecstasy. Me and The Other Bib always believe that food should bring joy to eaters and I base my restaurant rating according to it.
The restaurant rating system on The Skinny Bib Food Blog is called the Head and Heart Rating. Check out here to see how that works. And, if you want to browse restuarants by price, check how the money chart works here.
