You Never Know

Scallop Americana – Scallops and pasta sautéed with capsicums and black pepper to make a rather spicy dish. The Manhattan Fish Market restaurants have expanded its menu since I last dine in one. Somehow I missed the simpler and bigger servings from the early days. Everywhere, dory fish don’t taste like dory fish any more.

My OM-D EM-5 is being repaired. The LCD screen smashed and the mode dial faulty. The viewfinder rubber eye-cup needs replacement for the 4th time. So it goes in for a much needed service and firmware updates. You never know when you need a backup camera, all of a sudden. My trusty and tiny Panasonic LX-5 acted as stand-in here and it performed admirably well, as expected.

Yummy Seafood Noodles, Anyone?

Japanese plastic food is something I always marvel at. It is an artform itself. The Japanese calls it ‘Sampuru’ which is a cute corruption of the English word ‘Sample’. I suppose it is popular because in many places, tourists wouldn’t try anything from the menu unless they can see a replica. This one I photographed through a glass display window of a restaurant in Resorts World Sentosa Singapore.

Fusion sea food fried rice from William’s Corner. The food is yummy but their greyish plastic table tops and fluorescent lighting aren’t exactly ideal for photography. So set your white balance to daylight or until the table turns a nice blue. I used the LED flash light from two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones to light this shot taken with the OM-D.
