Engineering Review in Food

Who?

So… We’re a trio of Electrical Engineers, working in Perth, Western Australia for a Consultancy Company. We love our food (and booze for Miss Egg), and with so many little places that’s seemingly unknown to the public out there right here in this fast-developing state of Australia, we thought we’d share our dining experiences with you fine people.

 

From L to R: Miss Anise, Miss L
Bottom: Miss Egg

S. Tariq (Miss Anise) - The Quiet One

I call her the quiet one because she’s only blogged once since we started in December 2008! That said, she gives great recommendations for us (i.e. Miss L and Miss Egg) to go try and have a go at writing the review. One of the more expressive food-lovers of this team, she expresses her love for food and the eateries in WA in person, not in writing.

The nick Miss Anise was given to her since she’s always known as stariq in the office. Take the IQ away (not literally, please), and we’ll have a star, and what better way to describe her than to add the anise to make it food-related! Recently committing to her love of about 4 years, we might have to change her nickname to MRS Anise :)

Edit: Miss Anise has since retired from the PFE group, but will still maintain guest-blogger status. (: We thank Miss Anise for the fine recommendations she has been telling us (and still continues to)… and we look forward to seeing her back on the blog soon!

N. Lam (Miss L) – The Adventurous One

She’s the one who’s been trying so many new places that she’s always got so many in her list of places to blog about!

Having never blogged before, she’s now become an expert and she’s really the brains of this little team because Miss L’s come up with some brilliant ideas to take this blog and its team to a different level. She is now our true resident blogger, leaving Miss Egg to cry in a corner for her lack of blogging activity in recent months!

Miss L didn’t want to be called something else that I thought was brilliant, so we’ll leave her to be Miss L. :)

S. Tan (Miss Egg) – The Crazy Weird One

I am Miss Egg. People who know me would probably think the description is a bit of an understatement because I am much more than crazy and weird. I am insane, strange, quirky, lame all put together, thus giving you a true recipe for disaster.

I got my love for food from my dearest mom, who used to drive me around Singapore to eat the yummiest food… she taught me the true meaning of living to eat by training me to wait an hour for a bowl of noodles that would be finished within 10min. Ultimately tho’, I have my grandma to thank because it was my grandma who taught my mom, who then passed on this love for food down to me.

I am the youngest of the three engineers, which makes me the baby, but I kid you not when I say I am the eldest in appetite.

Miss Egg is a derivative of my surname “Tan”. When you say “Tan” in Asia, you need to pronounce it as “TUN”, which then led to a chinese word “DAN” (pronounced as “da-an”), which means “Egg”.

I am also the witch behind all these random facebook pages, groups, twitter page, and all kinds of efforts to make PFE that bit more publicized. There is still much to do (and learn from the other great bloggers), but she’ll get there – eventually.

What?

We eat. We taste. We smell. We occasionally scream. We smile/frown. We think. We feel. We write.

Why?

Because we love food, and we love to let others know of the great/crappy places in WA so that the joy and the love of food may be shared around!

Oh, and also because we can never write enough reports at work. :)

How?

We head out either as a group, or individually (with our friends/family)… bringing our little digital cameras, and we take photos like a baby who’s seeing everything for the first time, or like a typical tourist who needs to snap memories of their experiences.

The photos then become triggers to our memory during our write-ups!

Obviously, we use the WordPress interface to do these. But we also engage the widgets of urbanspoon to link our reviews to their page!

When?

We don’t have a real strict timeline in which we have to put our posts up since we are all working full-time, and do have other personal obligations besides this blog. So when you do see a post on our blog, please take into consideration that we might have gone to that particular establishment some time before the actual blogging occurs. This means, the food quality might have dropped since our review, or it might have improved tremendously. For this, that’s where you all come in and help us out by commenting your own dining experiences with us! :)

Where?

Everywhere, really! Even when we go for holidays, we do try to snap pictures of the food we eat, and pending our enthusiasm and memory… we do give a little presentation of our dining experiences!

But of course, the heart and soul of this blog will belong to our beautiful city of Perth, and extensive state of WA.
