Packaged, processed, chemicialize... They are killing us but of cause we are enjoying...


Nature has been overtly diluted to death.

Food preparation is an art. You have to get the chopping of vegetables right. Find a blend with the mixture of the ingredients. It's like good sex, not too slow or too fast. And the presentation has to be top notch. That's the hallmark of good culinary.

No beef. I found the pictures of the Chinese sauce unappealing. The lightning, Camara, uncompleted building or whatever didn't do justice to the food and the process. I don't think the vegetables were nicely chopped too.

Overall. You made some good efforts. You can only Keep improving if you make deliberate investment in taking constructive criticism and improving on the art of culinary.

If you can't say something good about what you see, keep mute. Opinions are never compulsory. Watch what you say

The picture quality didn't do justice to the food, is this how bad the Oppo camera is?
I was expecting some nice-looking food display. It ends up making the food look unappealing

No mind am. Keyboard dey him hand so him feel say him opinion matter. People too talk these days

Channah1:


Talking of rudeness, you were the first to make a rude comment by saying my food looks unappealing.
Do you know what that means? It is derogatory to say the least. Now you turn to say I was rude. How?

It's too early to derail. I beg you.

That's not Chinese food but unilag hostel girls food

Thank you better person
I Read every comment on the thread and i'm very appalled at how people try to make bad look good.
If one cannot handle criticism (harsh or calm), why come to a public domain ??
The initial comments wasn't even an insult to her, rather an insult to the oppo brand. Why do Nigerians like getting worked up over nothing. I'v been on a writers group where fellow writers dissect any work posted until the poster gets it right or he runs away crying.
Nigerians needs to change this their over sabi mentality. Some comments here are just lugubrious.
What will you gain if you make the poster feel happy online yet you aren't really pleased with what was posted. Even the OP was acting all defensive sef. Na wa.

Thank you for your better explanation.Godbless

Looks yummy, my only concern is the organic chicken and processed food.

It may predispose one to cancer

Channah1:

Enjoy ya meal

Channah1:


Your opinion.

By the way it was the poor lighting of the place. The uncompleted building.

No excuses please. The food and the camera looks trash

Nah. Nothing Chinese about this rice. Btw, I think the people criticising the OP's picture quality should know that this isn't a professional post or cooking. Unless she has a brand I'm not aware of. She only posted this to share what she cooked for herself on another regular day. It would be another case if this was intended to be professional.

This sounds reasonable. The thing is when you post stuff like this In a fora like nairaland you should expect appraisals. Even for house when you cook food family members go still reason am whether the food sweet or not.

You are right. Putting yourself out in the public will attract both compliments and criticisms. But i think they should put into consideration that she's not promoting anything

blacknoir:
what's wrong with u. Is it now wrong to give an advice on how to improve your content? Go and check some of the most successful content creators, they use full HD for all their videos ND pictures,why ? Because no matter how good your idea is if your presentation is bad it will turn away people. All we are saying is she needs to improve her presentation.we are only advicing her ,it's not by force to take advice. She can do as she please.its mentality like this that has made Nigeria the way it is i.e making the critics look like the enemy

Don't try to sound smart. It's mentality like yours that have kept the country where it is today. Let me ask you few questions:

1. Is Nairaland paying her for the traffic generated on her content?

2. Is she a YouTube vloger or did she make this post for YouTube posting?

You don't know when and when not to criticize something. If she had posted this thing on YouTube where we know would pay her for the traffic and had done it with a bad camera quality, your criticism would have been welcomed but this is Nairaland for crying out loud! And heck it's not even a video. So what's your point?

Don't mind them. Let them be using a simple lunch I posted to form panel of judges.

You have shown your lack of understanding.
1. Must someone be payed be4 he or she should do the right thing

2. Just because you are not payed doesn't mean people are not allowed to criticize you. It is people like u that like to give excuses when our leaders fail.

3. U should understand what is known as constructive criticism cos it seems like u have been brainwashed to think that any1 who criticizes u ,must be your enemy.
The Bible says we should be faithful even in the small things which means we should do anything possible to make our work good no matter how small it is.

4. I enjoy food content and I follow alot of shows that is food based ,I see how they do their things and I know one thing that is most important, which is presentation. I am only trying to help her by advicing her on how to make what she does better. But it appears u simply can't understand. I won't waste my time arguing with u,her idea is good and probably the food tasted delicious but her presentation was poor take it or leave it na u Sabi.

Nope I didn't parboil the veggies because it came in a can already soft.
Even if you buy the raw ones, no need to parboil because veggies are not meant to be overcooked.

Add the veggies lastly just before the cornstarch and allow to simmer with the cornstarch for a few mins before bringing it down so it can stay fresh and last longer.

Enjoy.

Really

Make over sabi no kill you oh!
In this case, what is your definition of "right thing"?

Was the picture clear enough for public viewing?

Did she in anyway say she was posting based on professionalism?

Did she tell you she lacked ideas on how a professional food post should look like or she just wanted to quickly post her food clear enough so she can eat?

If you were clever enough, you should have asked her first if she's just posting for the fun of it or posting as a professional in the field(food vloger or someone aspiring to). And if her answer happens to be the latter, then your constructive criticisms would have been welcomed(even from me). In this case she just snapped to show people the food and how she prepared it. Why can't you grasp that?

Wetein exactly be your problem this boy

Michelle55:

There's no need to be rude because it's not needed in this scenario, it seems you have a problem with honest criticisms. You need to be calming down and take reviews and criticism in a positive light.

By the way, the lighting and uncompleted building have got nothing to do with picture quality. It's either your new acquired oppo phone camera isn't living up to its expectations or you simply ain't good at taking nice shots

how was she rude by posting "your opinion". Do you have comprehension problem?

Channah1:


My dear, see me o. When I talk, their grey hound masters and mistresses will come out and start misbehaving all over my thread.

Thank you Jare.

You're welcome

I'm actually trying to understand your comment.

How do you know it is an Oppo phone? Are you upset in anyway that the op bought an Oppo phone?

Or is there some kind of previous bad blood between you and the op?

My dear, help me ask her o. I even forgot to mention the part she made reference to my phone when her supporters club were saying she only made a constructive criticism therefore I shouldn't take it personal ( even when I didn't).

I don't know her from Adam. Never had any beefs with her but she'll always come to my post to attack and trash talk herself like she knows me from somewhere and I always made sure I gave it back to her. I just let this one slide because I didn't want to derail my food post otherwise she knows I don't spare her any time she comes to display her madness.

Make una help me ask her.
Bad belle somebody.
