Garnishes like make-up!

Who doesn't want their food to look tempting when it's served on your dining table?

I emphasize that I LOVE food photography especially when they are all presented nicely with garnishes and nice plating etc. Today's post, I will be sharing with you all two of my pictures that I took which was hidden some where in my files in my computer, so I happened to find them and I thought was relevant to introduce garnishing and plating to you readers!

Again, I took those photos when I was in Hong Kong some time in May or June. It was again taken at the Oyster Bar and Grill (buffet). So you do not expect much of individual dish garnished with one portion or so. So here we go!

First up, drizzled with one dot of sauce to enhance colour, and see the other oyster shell below? It's empty, the purpose is just to elevate the oyster making it look nicer. (For this, I credit my mum who did it for the sake of me taking pictures!)

Of course I wasn't satisfied enough, so I grabbed a couple of leaves from the salad (haha) and a piece of lemon, more colours = more appealing isn't it? So does this look like it's being garnished by the chefs from the kitchen? I just felt satisfied after doing all these to make it look nicer just for the photo!

Garnishes are like make-up, it enhances the look of the dish, just like how you put make-up on your face (: It may not be compulsory but for all, it makes you feel good and look good! See the relevance?
