About

Who I am.

The short version.

Hello, I’m Kang. I’m a foodie who lives in London. I’m not a chef, I’m not a journalist, not a writer or photographer and certainly not a food critic. I just really love to eat and I also love to write.

You can read the long version here.

What is London Eater?

London Eater is a city food blog with the aim to showcase some of the best places to eat in London. Other articles provide commentary on general food trends, latest developments in London and also ( a still developing part of this project ) wine.

Why I’m not a critic.

Because I’m a Food Blogger. (take that, Jay Rayner.)

Even though I ‘review’ restaurants - I don’t have a fancy rating system. However, I do think that there are bad places and good places. I also think that restaurants have good, signature dishes and mediocre fillers which sit in the same menu. In that respect, I only review what I eat and avoid passing judgement on stuff I’ve not tried (yet).

I don’t pretend to know everything about food, because the truth is I don’t and I’d like to keep it that way. Food is an adventure, and this blog documents some of those discoveries, making me an observer and not a judge. What that means is, if I like it, I’ll tell you why I like it and if it tastes like crap, I’ll say so.

What my goals are.

Let’s get the obvious one out of the way first:

1. I want millions of women throwing underwear at me ( this one, is a joke. )

Here’s the rest of them:

1. I want London Eater to become the best food blog on the internet. ( This can only be done, with your help. )
2. I want to show people how awe-inspiring and alive the world of gastronomy can really be.
3. Finally, I want to make people smile, Life is too short to hold on to silly grudges and pretension. Make happy memories, enjoy yourself and Live.
