This is what you must have come here to see today! The continuation of
"This is because"
from yesterday's post (click here)
In due time I shall explain. But before I move any further, I must say that this is not an official BeN'Z review. Reason being the two sites I shall compare today have just sprouted from the earth several days back!
They are:
To begin, I'm dedicating this post to these two sites, not because they're
FAR OUT awesome or something. Simply because they were both done by my two friends and it'd be a nice start for them.
Geoh Soon created ... Eat Till U Drop
Wei Phin created ... my Tummy n'I
These two guys are rather good friends amongst. And the first thing you'd notice comparing both sites is - THEY POST THE SAME STUFF!!!
(almost that is)
--------------------------------------------------------------
I laughed as this doesn't affect me. However, disputes may arise and jeopardize friendship.
I did suggest they both combine to make one OUTSTANDING site. But i guess it's too much of a give and take.

............................................
Now lets talk business!!!
............................................
1. Eat Till U Drop
Pros
- He uses a nice template that makes it look yummy! Very much of a child-like idea. This makes the posts a wee bit more interesting!
- The pictures although not professional, illustrates what readers want to see. Pictures of the dishes and the not so necessary but a plus, pictures of the cooks and preparation!
- The use of Malaysian languages ranging from Malay, Chinese, (I didn't see indian); gives a homely feeling like the header "Malaysia's Food Blog".
Cons
- I did say the outlook is good, but somehow I feel the site is messy. Probably insufficient line spacing or the arrangement of sidebar items.
- Although the idea is good, the description does not do justice. He mainly speaks about how the food is worth-while but lacks to mention why it's as such?!
- I didn't like the catch line of TRUST ME! This is a personal opinion of course. No offense in any way. But to me I find myself asking why should I trust him?
Overall - It's a site that may be worth going to if you want to scout places for certain foods.
2. my Tummy n'I
Pros
- The template used is very light and does not flood the readers mind and run the eyes.
- The good camera shots makes the food look very tasty!
- His posts are detailed enough to make you taste that dish at times. But a better focus is the fact he explains about the dish and gives an honest opinion.
- The easy access to an online map to guide viewers to the location is a well thought idea.
Cons
- The layout is very plain and somewhat boring. Although it does make the food and posts stand out. I suppose that's all that matters right?
- At times, I believe there are just too many words. It may be a good thing as well as bad depending how you look at it. But for now, I think it's alright.
- Some pictures would have been great if they were larger. Meanwhile, more pictures may be help too!
Overall - This may be promising for interested food people. But work-up is still required.
All in all, I'm looking forward to this food bash from both parties. To me, I think it's an interesting start. How long it can be maintained on a regular and which one will flourish; only time will tell.
In the meantime, more places for me to indulge my taste-buds that crave for mouth watering food!
Thank goodness I didn't do food blogs or some-sort! Mine goes freelance from where when what how why. Basically whatever I want! haha. It's a whole lot of dedication to do such commercial sites. On the other hand, it does reward faster and better.
