Creating a Graphic Novel : Art – Food – Photography

It’s been a while since my last food related post. Thought I’d share some photos taken by Toshio at a recent yum cha (dim sum) in Sydney CBD at a restaurant called Zilver.

I’ve talked about burgers before but I now have a favourite! It’s a local place which sells mini cheeseburgers (chilli optional extra but highly recommended) that’s a perfect snack. It’s not squashed like in fast food chains but stacked tall with a delectable beef patty.

Tea and scones are the perfect afternoon snack (or if you are Malaysia curry puffs are the go!) From a tea shop in Sydney CBD, this one’s a favourite secret spot of mine.

A good scone can’t be too dry and maintain a texture in between a cake and [...]

A very traditional ramen with thick broth served by an eatery in one of the food courts in Sydney CBD. The pork spare rib ramen is limited to 10 bowls a day so it’s something I had to try.

Thought I’d enjoy a Whopper meal from Hungry Jacks as well as play around with the camera. I was trying to see how the camera’s Black & White turned out and a chance to see if I can get some nice contrast in those photos.

A&W Root Beer is easily my favourite drink. Especially when served in a chilled glass mug, it’s so absolutely refreshing. Better than any milkshake or green tea latte. *sigh*

Awesome food photography in low lighting conditions by Toshio. Following on from the Char Kway Teow post, having a nice hot charcoal fire adds something very special to meal.

Remember Troy Parke will be in Emerald City Comicon on April 3 and April 4.
There are various flavours of milkshakes ranging from the immortal trinity of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry to more exotic like banana, mint and black cherry. I’m actually very boring when it comes to flavours and usually stick with good ‘ole chocolate. [...]

A very Malaysian snack of a cup of hot tea with condensed milk (mmm sweet) and two curry puffs! Unfortunately these curry puffs were filled with potatoes only. Would have tasted better with a little bit of chicken in them. The cups are also pretty distinctively Malaysian, the type you’ll find in your regular kopi [...]
