Presentation is EVERYTHING
Ahh yes, presentation really is everything, in this post i will prove it.
take a look at the pix below, what's featured? food. chinese food. to be most specific lightly fried rice, fried cheese crab wonton and sesame chicken. now normally this food would be in some cheap styrofoam container surrounded by a greasy plastic bag with some fake chopstix and napkins so thin that you can't even wipe your ass with or its in a more superior styrofoam, in a nice clean paper bag with napkins that you'd try and rewash to use at a later time (depending on much you spent on it). Well the truth with the following images are as follows: all of this food is from the cheapest chinese food i could find, 1.25 per scoop! Yes $1.25! and it tastes fantastic, what you see below is about 5$ worth of food, complimentary mustard and fortune cookie all accounted for.
with a little bit of creative flare i plated the abundance that is $5 worth of food, look good?
here's a closer look:
the wontons are on a slender white plate with drops of sweet and sour sauce along with small drops of chinese mustard.
the cheap fried rice was molded and put into a larger black bowl with an artful placement of the fortune cookie
here is the piece de résistance! the main focus of the meal of course. the cheap sesame chicken is re-dusted with sesame seeds, accompanied by eloquent drops of mustard and finally sprinkled on with cayenne pepper.
and yes, i had to do at least one creative shot, i rearranged it and snapped this one. kinda like the order it should be eaten; wonton as the appetizer, then grab a piece of chicken and eat it with the rice and finally finish it all off with the fortune cookie
so there you have it. 5$ worth of dollar-scoop chinese junk food plated to look like something you threw $25 down for at P.F. mutha fxckin Chang's. It'z all about presentation baby; i always say you eat with your eyes furst, then your mouth and finally your stomach. now if presentation can make this much of a difference in food, shouldn't you really consider how you, yourself, present you to everyone else?
on another note, i saw ironman earlier, and it waz pretty kick azz, for those of you who haven't seen it yet, just a fun little fact, there's a short scene after the credits.
