When did you last look up to the ceiling?

Lanterns in Food Republic
Rows of lanterns hanging on the ceiling of a food-court. The ceiling lights are too glaring but by converting to monochrome, I could make them work with the lanterns instead of against them.

Inside Esplanade
The complicated webs found on the Esplanade ceiling. Since the color version is monotone anyway, I converted it to monochrome to make the structure stand out more.

Two brown food two different textures

Roast chicken with samba sauce
Roast chicken with samba sauce. The oily yet crispy looking skin plus the red and hot looking samba sauce, how could you even resist?

Carrot cake
The smoothness of the thick white cream on the carrot cake brings out the dryness of the cake, yet at the same time makes it look fulfilling.

Photographs are taken using Nokia N97 camera phone. The roast chicken with samba sauce is from Jack's Place, which is also famous for its samba steak. The carrot cake is from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf cafe.
