Things sure are getting more and more exciting here.
What better way to grab your attention than to give you a cream puff with love!
I know it’s not that long ago when I just changed the look of my blog back in May. While I like the previous design, but I get bored very easily. So when the opportunity came along when I found out about UNNU, I grabbed it and within a few days, the first mockup was done! Between then till now, we made numerous changes, and having experience with my previous design definitely helps as I know what to expect this time round.
And the whole process was very smooth, UNNU was very professional, and design-forward, we went through everything step-by-step; from the masthead, to examining every single detail like font, colour template, format of the date, title of post, search engine, the gap between each post – everything that you see right now!
A big-shout to UNNU because besides choosing a design, and telling her what I like, she did everything else. It’s great when you have a designer who knows whats you want because some things are just so difficult to put into words. You have no idea how many emails I sent to pester Nu and how many conversations we had to discuss about the design. Thank you so much!
Some of the really nice features of the design:
Coming to the social buttons, we were planning to put them on the main page, but decided against it and instead you can find them under the About & Contact page. So send me an email at [email protected], add me as a friend on Twitter, and facebook, And if by now you haven’t been to my Delicious Index, all I can say is you are missing out! That’s like the best page ever!
There’s a ‘live’ twitter stream on top too, so follow me there and tweet with me! At the end of each post, just above the categories, there’s the facebook & twitter buttons, if you like the post, click on the buttons and share it with your friends.
I know it will take longer to load the page with such a big masthead, but I’m totally heads over heels in love with it! And you know what’s the coolest thing? I can change the design of the masthead every month – I’ll never get bored again! So that’s all folks, thank you for listening while I rave about my new love, the new design looks really great, and I hope you’ll like it as much as I do. And oh yes, the Nuffnang Blog award is into the last week of voting, so do vote for me!
. . . for the delicious in you

Love the new design of your blog, Brad.
is that a cheese cream puff? *salivating* very hi tech layout btw, bro.
Cool! Looking forward to your new masthead design every month! =)
My goodness–your food photos are amazing! I voted for you in Nuffnang’s Awards. Good luck–I do hope you win! See you in Singapore!
its been awhile since i’ve visited your blog, and theres such a huge difference.
Huge improvement in terms of writing, layout and the photos -> massive improvement.
good job
The photo actually reminds me of the Twilight book cover.
But cool blog nonetheless!
Lyrical lemongrass: See you during the Nuffnang awards yeah! : )
Nic: haha no la, that’s a normal cream puff, no cheese. your imagination at work. hee
myfoodsiren: yea but first i need to have enough nice horizontal shots, cos i always prefer to take vertical shots. lol
topaz: Hello there! thanks see you there
Yummie D: thank you : )
Jawker: hahahaha did it? i like to use hand in my photos, to give it a warmer touch
It’s beautiful, it is. But you already know that cos I’ve told you, haha. My own poor blog design… it’d be ages before I have time to tweak it.
Vertical shots are good if you want to focus on 1 particular item. Horizontal shots are better if you want to get a view of everything. haha
LOVE your new design!! and that tagline… sweet!!
incidentally i will be heading to the lion city this weekend. very short trip though.
and congrats on the nomination for the nuffnang awards

ck lam: Thank you thank you! i want to go Penang soon, then lingzie and you can bring me go eat all the nice food
Your hand cradling the cream puff like it’s your baby. But you make me drool. I love creampuffs, the soft and creamy custard in it, just perfect.
This looks like the twilight poster, but instead of an apple, it’s a creampuff
hahahaha
Elizabeth: hehe i din think of the twilight cover when i was shooting this, but now that u mentioned it, yeah some sort similar : )
