I've been considering what to write in this special post. The 100th entry, holy crow! And I've decided that I'll write whatever I want here, food-related or not. Especially I want to become closer to you, my dear readers! I hope we can take this chance to get to know more about each other.
This is a very meaningful event to me, because after nearly 2 years (1 year and 9 months, to be exact), Danang Cuisine blog marks its 100th post and also the 1000th follower on its Facebook fanpage, not to mention the feature on a Hong Kong's magazine and a Vietnamese magazine. Interestingly, within those 21 months, I was NOT in Da Nang for 11 months!
You know that for each review, I have to actually go to the food shops, try the food and take the photos/videos myself. Which was very difficult, and even impossible for me to do as half of the time since starting this blog I was studying overseas. But still I managed to continue to develop Danang Cuisine, with the great help from my family: my older sister, Helen Le for all of her wonderful recipes, and even my mother who wrote several guest posts in Vietnamese (guestwriter Penguin, that's my mom!!).
And of course, Danang Cuisine can't exist without YOU! 21 months ago, when I googled "Danang Cuisine" (exact phrase), there was NO result. Now, there are 10.400! The amount of comments is also increasing tremendously. As I said in this magazine interview, your comments are the greatest motivation for me to continue. From the very first days when there was only 1-2 comments a month, to today when there can be 10 a day, to me the joy and happiness of reading each and every comment still remains intact. For all of your support so far, I would like to say THANK YOU.
So... now it's your turn. I would love to know:
So... now it's your turn. I would love to know:
- What you honestly think about Danang Cuisine?
- What can be done for improvements?
- Your own stories, i.e. your love story with Da nang, with Da Nang street food, with Viet Nam... or anything you want to share with me and other readers.
