I’m psyched! It’s an honour to have been nominated, I keep on telling myself… I’m preparing both an acceptance speech and that stretched, smiling mask that actors put on when the “And the Oscar goes to…” envelope does not contain their name! BB

I’ve taken loads of photos of dim sum at Yauatcha and never been told off. However, after having taken 6 photos at Sake no Hana during opening week, I was told to put my camera away. They’re up on my blog anyway in the first review ever written about the place. People love to see food photos, so I always get irritated by Alan Yau’s no photo policy. I had no problems at Hakkasan though, incidentally.

Ooooh, was this a secret spycam cunningly concealed in the false bottom of a Prada bag?? These guys have a little freakout when you bring out a camera. They wasted no time telling our table to put our cameras away and another blogger was read the riot act while he was walking down the stairs and had not even been seated yet! Of course, this to me is more of a challenge than a ban, so I snuck in a load of photos anyway… 😉

Gosh, you must have been either very lucky or very cunning to be able to photograph the food in Yauatcha without being told off by the staff! I witnessed one unfortunate table of people get a an earbashing because they were trying to take a snap of the people in their party, even though it was clearly someone’s birthday and the only things in the shot were going to be their heads and a bit of wall.
