If you guys haven't read the
article about the controversy that has erupted over a dining event, I highly
suggest you guys to read the article before reading this blog post. I want you
guys to know what I am talking about regarding the article. So please, read
that article so you will understand what actually this blog post about.
For those of you guys who want the link to that article, here it is. http://sg.news.yahoo.com/controversy-erupts-over-dining-event-coming-to-s%E2%80%99pore.html
So basically, there is this event called something like 'Diner En Blank
Flash-Mob Dinner' that is coming to Singapore. This event is somewhat
prestigious and only 'invited people' are welcome to that event. Well, it
didn't bother me as much because I really wouldn't mind not getting an
opportunity or a chance to go to this lame-ass event. I mean, really, it's just
a picnic right? So it didn't bother to me at first, until a blogger by the
named of Daniel Ang sparks a controversy over the event with a post last week.
This dude, Daniel Ang is a food blogger, so basically he writes stuff about
food and beverages on his blog. He got invited to this event and, well, like
all Singaporeans, he was pretty much excited about this event. It is a
'prestigious event' right? So the
issue blazed after Ang wrote in a post on his blog on Friday that he had been asked to remove a post
recommending some local food that guests could bring to Diner en Blanc and what
food did he recommend that cause this so called 'issue'?
The foods that he recommended the guests to bring was a
12 Singapore-style white food, namely: tau hway, teochew pau, cheese raisin
buns, xiao long bao, chee chiong fun, fishballs, Hainanese chicken rice, white
bee hoon, chwee kueh, kueh tu tu, soon kueh and popiah. (The foods are white
because it matches with the theme. lol)
These foods are not that
bad, right? Tell that to the event manager who refers these foods as 'junk
food'. I don't know whether to laugh or to be really offended. Most people
think that the event manager was perhaps a French, but I am really certain
that not only the event management but the whole organizers that creates this
event is in fact 'SINGAPOREANS' or I like to call these people SINGAPOREAN on
the outside, but 'step-angmoh' on the inside. You've got to be kidding me,
right?

The controversy got worst
when the organizers of the event told Ang to remove the post regarding his
recommendation of foods to bring and then UN-INVITE him. Ouch. Even Hitler
would say "Even a guy like me, that's cold...” This event was has taken place at Paris,
Lyon, Amsterdam, Munich, Zürich, Berlin, Montreal, New York, and now Singapore,
which also will be the first ever country to experience a 'no-local' food at
the event. Singapore likes to be the first at everything, right? lol.
These people deserve to get a slap on their
face. Why on earth does this food considered to be 'junk food'. Even if it is,
what's wrong with bringing that food to the event? The event is held in
Singapore, right? The local organizers must be really ignorant
and selfish. They would be like "ouhh, tahuey? eeww. That’s
disgusting." Well, screw you then. Why don't you take
any French cuisine and stick it up at your ASS. I'm not hating the
French people because we all know what they are capable of *clears throat*.
The "locals" who
are organizing this event need to take a step back and realize that the French
won't give a damn about them or giving any respect nor attention. French people
are pretentious and racist pricks and they look down on everyone who is not
them.
