Happy Chinese New Year folks. I took this picture yesterday, at my parents’ house in Brunei. It’s a lion dance to usher the new year in, and I think the lion had peeled three satsumas to make the chinese character of ‘Wang’ , which is suppose to mean blooming, booming prosperity, I think. It’s all good baby.

It’s that time of the month once again to look at the movers and shakers as according to the good folks at Wikio. And this month, we have yet another new leader at the top of the heap, Maison Cupcake who has jumped 38th since the end of 2010. Well done to Sarah!
Running a little behind this month, but here it is. The full listings are due to be published on August 10th. 1 Hollow Legs 2 Cheese and Biscuits 3 Food Stories 4 eat like a girl 5 meemalee’s kitchen 6 DOS HERMANOS 7 The English Kitchen 8 Cook Sister! 9 Intoxicating Prose
Here we go once again. This month, the famous Ms Marmite Lover finally enters the fray, Lizzie Mabbot dethrones Chris Pople to go top and the highest climber is The Graphic Foodie to number 13, up by 12. Congratulations to all. Isn’t it more exciting watching the list change leaders now that the all powerful WOM (it is still all powerful, and no list is going to change that right?) has vacated the top spot
And here is a preview for May 2010. Wikio informed me that Guardian WOM were removed from this listing for it being too ‘Newsy’. The biggest movers are TomEatJenCooks jumping a whopping 53 spots to sixth!

You’ve arrived at londoneater.com – where a foodlover living in London (me) writes about his favourite subject. First of all, thank you for visiting, feel free to look around and leave some comments. Having spent many years as a serial blog reader, I was inspired by great bloggers out there, who’s writing has captivated my imagination many a times. I read the essentials like the hufftington post, freakonomics, copyblogger,seeking alpha. No surprise, though, my favourites are decidedly food blogs. Ideasinfood, londonelicious, midtown lunch, vinography just to drop a few names. You can check out all my links on the side bar to your right. It’s still early days, if you wish, you can subscribe via RSS or email. The egg white recipes. Growing up with a dad who loves eating, it took no time for me to follow in his food-steps. He’s a man with lots of stories, like the time he was a part-time barman (boy?) at the ripe old age of twelve and of course the stuff he loved most about his dad’s cooking. My grandfather was a cook who owned a family business in a form of a diner/cafe/bar/restaurant. It opened seven days a week, at at the crack of dawn at six for breakfast and closed at midnight for those
