1/10
The Ordinary Patrons
The Ordinary Patrons is as it says it is - a food blog written by ordinary people just like the majority of its viewers. It is one of few food blogs that provides a genuine food review based on an ordinary dining experience that has not been tainted by preferential media treatment or the like. The writers patronise eateries on an anonymous basis to ensure credibility of their posts, which makes this blog a pretty special one.

Alexis Cheong
Alexis Cheong is a lifestyle blogger who writes about all things that interests her, one large part being food. Her blog posts are personal, engaging and injected with just the right amount of photos to make your stomach growl. She does not mince her words when it comes to food that she does not think is worth ordering, which is just what we need from a food review, and what we like about this blog.

Crystal Wee
Foodography is what Crystal names her food blog, a tastefully and minimalistically designed space where Crystal uploads beautiful photos of the restaurants she visits and her thoughts about the food. It is a very easy blog to read, which is perfect for the evenings when you're looking for some feel-good foodie-tainment.

FoodGem
FoodGem is another up-and-coming food and travel blog with a lovely interface that makes it easy for readers to check out what the writer's top food picks are at the moment. Each post is injected with tantalising food photos that are just so intriguing to look at, accompanied by an honest review of the blogger's experience at the restaurant. She blogs about both good and bad experiences, so you get the full picture, which we appreciate as well.

Fundamentally-flawed
Author of Snap Eat Love (a food blog dedicated to food in Sydney) has started a blog to tell of her local food experiences and her love for all things food. This passion doesn't come as a surprise considering how she is a pastry chef herself and probably knows much more about food than the ordinary layman. Check out her posts and follow her on her food adventures as she describes in detail every slight nuance of taste, making you feel as if you've just eaten the dish for yourself.

Hungry Bird
Hungry Bird may not be equipped with the best blog interface for viewers, but it does provide up-to-date and genuine food reviews that we think are worth following. Melissa, the owner, gives a rating for each place she visits based on ambience, food quality and overall value, so readers are able to gauge whether they should or should not pay the restaurant a visit. We enjoy reading her entries and browsing through the gorgeous pictures of food, and so will you.

Summer Loves To Eat
This is a very simple food blog that might just remind you of the good ol' days when everyone around you owned a personal blog. It is a space targeted at busy people who don't have time to read lengthy blog posts but who still want to be updated on the latest in the Singapore food scene. Filled with photos and to-the-point reviews, this blog has certainly gained a spot in our favourites list.

The Hungry Geek
Created as a hobby, The Hungry Geek is a food and travel blog that boasts of a user-friendly and appealing website interface, which was what attracted us at first. It aims to provide the most honest reviews (the writers claim that they won't bother reviewing places that are not worth a space on their blog) of the food that they have personally tried, which aren't always at the usual popular restaurants you see too often on the media. So far, we're loving every bit of this blog.

Food blogs have become so essential in this digital age where we rely heavily on online food reviews when deciding where to take our loved ones to eat on a special occasion, or simply where to go for dinner tonight to treat yourself with a good meal. Names like ladyironchef or Seth Lui have risen in the ranks to become Singapore’s most renowned food bloggers, known to provide extensive lists of the best food places in this tiny city based on their own personal restaurant reviews.

However, there are in fact so many other food blogs that are equally credible, you just haven’t heard of them yet. These blogs provide genuine, heartfelt food reviews and a collection of photographs that will make you drool just by scrolling through the pages. Head on up to our gallery to check out a list you might want to start following from today.
