(SWIPE FOR MORE PICS) Pics & Video 1-7 : MAPO SHIRAKO • PORK INTESTINE 麻婆白子豬腸煲 Pic 8-9: WINTER MELON • TOMATO . TAI-O DRIED VELVET SHRIMP 赤米蝦乾蕃茄燜翡翠冬瓜 @wingrestaurant_hk _ Two more dishes served on sharing casseroles (prepared in kitchen) were there, literally standing in the opposite spectrum of ingredients : extremely offal-centric (pig’s intestines and Shirako) with strong spices and seasoning in flavor vs vegetable-centric with dried seafood umami. There are endless recipes and rendition of “mapo” and @chefvickycheng ‘s one was one of the better versions among fine dining restaurants in HK. Mapo shirako 麻婆白子, a twist on Mapo tofu started in Japan and ubiquitous in Japanese-Chinese restaurants for years, had come back to Chinese restaurants in China and Hong Kong in the past two years but quite frankly many were just not impressive because of the mediocre quality of shirako and the lazy calibration of mapo (which japanese seem to put much more effort to perfect in “Chinese cuisine”). Vicky added pig’s intestine so there are more dimension of flavors and the sauce for me was nice enough to have a few bowls of rice with. The vegetarian dish with “jade winter melon” (big one with the surface covered with a layer of white powder) was rich yet not cloying, I enjoyed having vegetables where you can enjoy the “freshness” while they are hot and soft, not just when they are cold and raw. Both of the dishes were served on the “Hantang” collection of @ruyi_global , a brand from @legleporcelain dedicated to celebrate Eastern philosophy of social collectivism, cooperation, harmony and balance in culinary terms. The coral red color of the casserole depicts humble and graceful sharing while the rim was decorated with new interpretation of classic dragon pattern commonly used in bronze-wares in Han dynasty. The most important success factors of a dish for me are often thinking, taste, texture, temperature (the 4T). But presentation can make a dish go further as a whole, the 5th ”T” (Totality) These two are the examples. (Last pic’s credit: @ruyi_global)

When client is particular about colors especially in a product shoot, I always got them covered. A color chart is always the first shot of every scene to establish the "correct" color. In post processing software, like Capture One, I then build a color profile based on the first image captured and apply the same settings throughout. And then, if the color doesn't come out correctly on client's end, I can always push the blame on them LOL. Just kidding because, color management is such a huge topic. To add more cost to our production, I would have to have a capable monitor (at least 100% sRGB for web delivery, or preferably 100% aRGB), and a monitor calibration device. Yet, the problem doesn't end here because then not all consumer devices (such as client's laptop, mobile phone, friend's mobile phone, etc) are color calibrated. But hey, at least I have done my part. . . . #malaysia #kualalumpur #malaysiayoutuber #youtubemalaysia #youtubermalaysia #contentcreatormalaysia #photographerslife #photographer #commercialphotography #FamousBTSMag #thebtsmag #behindthescenes #bts #setlife

STRYD footpod: Ujian ketepatan jarak (road). . PENDAHULUAN: . Stryd dikatakan sangat accurate dalam memberikan data jarak serta pace walaupun tiada calibration dibuat. Jadi saya mengambil peluang untuk melihat macam mana Stryd mengesan jarak larian pada pace berbeza. . KAEDAH: . 2 jarak digunakan iaitu 1000m dan 735m, diukur menggunakan distance measuring wheel. Setiap percubaan dilakukan pada pace berbeza ini kerana berdasarkan pengalaman menggunakan footpod Garmin, ada sedikit variasi pada jarak apabila pace semakin laju. Jadi saya cuba berlari bermula dengan easy sehingga pace threshold untuk melihat kestabilan bacaan jarak. Dan paling penting, calibration factor FR935 ditetapkan pada 100 (default). . KEPUTUSAN . Bacaan jarak yang diberikan oleh Stryd pada pace berbeza sangat stabil (ambil kira sehingga 2 titik perpuluhan untuk jam). Bacaan jarak Stryd juga adalah setepat ~99% dengan jarak yang diukur. Keputusan ini boleh dilihat didalam gambar di atas. Kedua-dua ujian jarak memberikan 98.7% & 98.6% ketepatan dan jika perlu, saya boleh mengubah calibration factor pada jam menjadi 101.4. . KEKURANGAN . Hasil ujian terutamanya data jarak mungkin ada kekurangan disebabkan larian kena lalui 3 simpang 'tajam'. Ukuran menggunakan distance wheel pada jalan dibuat 'curve' namun semasa lari kaki bukan 100% ikut 'curve' itu, berlaku sedikit tangent movement. . PLAN MASA AKAN DATANG . Jika trek MSN boleh masuk, InsyaAllah ujian jarak di trek akan dilakukan. Mungkin lebih bagus lagi kalau ada jalan lurus 1-3km, boleh uji disitu memandangkan tidak perlu nak belok. . . Terima kasih Stryd Malaysia untuk tawaran yang diberi. . @strydmalaysia @strydrunning #stryd #strydrunning #strydmalaysia
