    Food Blogs

    Can anyone recommend popular food blogs or HK blogs in general similar to Coconuts.

    My buddy is working with a Celeb Chef and wants to get him some local media exposure.

    Thanks

    Jared - Speak to the local PR companies. Many of the local food bloggers / instagramers who have any sort of audience are paid for their reviews with either freebies or hard cash.

    One expat site that comes to mind, dimsumandthensum (or something like that). Would like to know if and how they're compensated or if it is just a ladies who lunch type thing.

    Should also look at how Word of Mouth does their reviews ...

    Thats what I thought at first. I'd urge you to give it more of a chance; the guy is quite talented and funny IMO.

    I've never read a review like this before :
    Dinner by Heston Blumenthal | fuck yeah noms

    The expletives make it a very disjointed read. They add nothing to the reviews as they are used willy nilly. From a personal point of view the blog is not very enjoyable, funny or that informative.

    Might be good to use as a reference list, but FYN is rather grating to read past the first paragraph.

    Just like any other blogs, I've been assuming fyn is a paid review blog.
