Instead of tossing a coin to determine between the usual choices of office cafeteria and the nearby hawker centre, try clicking on SoShiok.com
The snazzy food and wine website will recommend a new breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper spot every day, and even offer directions to the eatery, when it is launched on Friday.
The new site is a complete makeover of the current Wine, Dine And Unwind, a food and beverage guide in AsiaOne, an information and lifestyle portal by Singapore Press Holdings (SPH).
The folks at Blogger’s Treat have also launched the second episode and are using a new video player. Viewers have been highlighting that the Viddler player loads faster than the earlier Vimeo player.
The critics are also out on Blogger’s Treat.

I thought Sabrina did pretty well in the 1st 20 seconds of the 1st episode but throughout this one, she appeared nervous and uncomfortable when speaking and disinterested when not. Before tucking in, her reactions to the food were not of interest but of “Ah…. So much food ah. I don’t wanna eat leh.. I scared I will grow fat”. Not that it implies that the food sucks, but it still makes the viewer reduce his/her interest in the food.
I am not asking the bloggers on the show to act till they point where they put food in the mouth and then flip over screaming, “OH MYYYYYYYYYYYY GOD!!!!!!” while having orgasms, but it’s good to show enthusiasm and interest in the food that you are presenting and eat it with gusto.

I found Krisandro’s comments about flipping over and getting orgasms really funny. :)
However, I feel we should cut them some slack here. Considering it’s not scripted and that both are just bloggers, I think they did a fantastic job. I’m sure Sabrina will improve further in future episodes.
Anyway, it’s really nice to see web 2.0 in action - people creating video reviews instead of media companies.
