As a fellow food blogger myself, I understand Kaelyn's point of view. When we write reviews, it is best that the article be fair to the establishment but there are times when we cannot hide what we feel must be said. Sometimes, criticisms are what is needed to improve the restaurant to provide even better quality standards to the patrons. And once they feel they have improved, perhaps it would be a nice gesture to get the blogger who once gave them the negative light to try again, and this time round, it may be a good review such that the whole food blogger community is raving about it.

Do not ever threaten a customer. Everyone i believe can simply boycott the place and let them close down. It is fine. There are a thousand and one better places to enjoy those stuff in singapore. Do not think just because you have some paper cuttings , you can bully the customer. Everyone is entitled to our own opinion. The food critics maybe wrong. One man's meat is another man's poison. I do not like too sweet stuff but some may - what is wrong with saying it is too sweet. Have you tried real french desserts in france? They are not very sweet - again is your taste buds more sensitive to sweet? If the feeling is like jam out of the bottle - so be it . It mean feeling is not food? jam also food.. You think everyone's english so good to describe how it tastes. Simple analogy works the best.

I do not agree with Nate - I believe a review should be in its full glory whether good or bad. Reporting just the positives equates to half truth - which makes the integrity of the post questionable.
