Before I eat out at a new restaurant, I tend to visit www.dinehere.ca to check out the reviews and food recommendations from other reviewers. I always thought it would be great if they had pictures of the food and decor too. I also realized that some of the reviews were very bias when I once posted a detailed negative review on a new restaurant and someone (probably from the restaurant) wrote a great general review the next day to inflate the score. Some questions you may ask:
Q: Why?
A: I got into it after taking photos of various dishes while in Asia and just wanted to share some of culinary adventures with others in Vancouver.
Q: What experience do you have doing this?
A: I have over 26 years of eating experience.
Q: Do you have a refined palate?
A: It's either good, no good or okay.
Q: Why are your restaurant reviews only for Vancouver?
A: Cause I live here.
Q: What kind of camera do you use?
A: Canon PowerShot SD780IS Digital Elph - it's so small and spy-like!
Q: Your pictures look dark.
A: I don't use flash. It's just something I read online and I think it's annoying to other diners in a dark environment. Exceptions are celebrations.
Q: Are you a professional photographer and food critic?
A: No, I am merely a PhD.

I actually visitted the same restaurant the other day. My rate is also 6/10. I also tried Calamari which was very tasty. However, inside is relatively dark so I would rather go there for dinner. I prefer patio if I go there for lunch. I enjoyed your new blog! Keep up your good work hungry dude!
