Dear Reader/Media Friend,
First off, please accept my sincere appreciation for your humble support all these years. What first started out as a humble hobby blog back in November 2009, has turned into quite the blog with a decent readership within the last few months. Of course, this is no numbers game, where the blog with the highest readership stands to win a prize.
Sometime back in August 2010, in the midst of the much publicized food blogger saga, I defended the notion that food tasting invitations were acceptable. That notion still stands.
So why the U-turn then? I’ve realized that the current direction that my blog is headed towards is not where I first set out my blog to be – a blog to document my gastronomic journey. As such, I have decided that henceforth, HungryEpicurean will not be accepting invitations to any food tasting sessions.
Fret not, HungryEpicurean is not going to disappear into the abyss. This blog is here to stay. I invite you to continue on with me on this epicurean journey, albeit one without any advertorials or invited sessions.
Thank you.

Good on you. I have been reading food blogs for a while here and overseas ones, unfortunately most become “adverts” for restaurants and anything to do with food that needs free advertising. I have been thinking about this dilemma as a reader. I have decide to delete those blogs from my bookmarks.
Cheers.
