S1E6: Eat, shoot and post: What makes a good food reviewer?
Manage episode 423214174 series 2341710
Scroll social media and you’ll likely be served a food recommendation or review, often one that’s either enthused or a takedown of sorts.
Synopsis: The Straits Times’ Natasha Ann Zachariah explores contemporary societal choices and youth perspectives.
If someone takes videos of their food and serves them with a side of honest opinions, does that make them a good food reviewer?
Singapore is a nation of foodies, and we're passionate about what we eat. But it seems like many food creators often go in with quick overviews, giving honest reviews or enthused recommendations without much context on social media.
Intrigued by this proliferation of content creators who feed their audience with clickbaity spiel and pepper their food recommendations with superlatives, I wanted to find out the highlights and pitfalls of online food reviewers in this age of quick-fire social media content.
To help me answer questions I have about this crowded scene, I invited food and lifestyle content creator Chiara Ang, second-generation hawker Melvin Chew, and former home-based baker-turned-marketing entrepreneur Then Zhi Wei to weigh in on the practices that make a good food review.

27:35 Showcase more than just the menu
34:07 What consumers should look out for when consuming 'social media' food reviews
