Vietnam Kitchen

I was seated at a very dark corner inside Vietnam Kitchen in Jaya 33 Mall. Had only the Pana-Leica 25mm f1.4 lens but didn’t bring the clip-on flash nor the handy Manfrotto ML 240 LED light. The Samsung Galaxy S3’s flash light came to the rescue. With the right amount of light, spring rolls spring to life 🙂

Like the Masala Tosai featured here earlier, Gỏi Cuốn or Vietnamese Spring Roll is listed as one of World’s 50 most delicious foods complied by CNN Go. It is actually salad roll with prawn, vegetables, vermicelli (bihun) wrapped in rice paper. While there is no pork in this particular dish, the restaurant is non-halal.

The Best Camera In The World

What is the best camera in the world? It is said that the best camera is the one that is always with you. For many, it is the humble phone camera in their pocket, ready to shoot whatever they fancy.

Saw this nice sunny sky and sign today. I had only the Samsung Galaxy S3 with me and it did its job very well. A 10,000 dollars bulky camera is practically worthless when you miss shots because you don’t want to carry it all the time. True?

Always dine with someone who is also using a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone or similar 🙂 Here, JM Bariani House’s mutton beriani rice with rose syrup was lit by two Galaxy 3 LED lights. One was held behind the glass and the other at the side of the plate. Photographed with Olympus OM-D and Pana-Leica Summilux. Colours muted with one of Snapseed’s vintage filters.
