haha . i didn mean he said sucks la.. omg..


lets continue discuss back the main topic la..


i gt off now. enjoy! constructive feedbacks are most welcome! can? nite!

nice pics

The header does not blend well with your background. Try to change it into contrasting colour for better viewing.
Just my 2cents

Nice site. Simple, straight to the point, easy to navigate, and so far, I don't see any ads, maybe that "Directory" is your source of income.

Thanks.

Hey vkeong, thats fast!

Nice.

I'm liking the concept so far.

You might want to re-label 'Type and wait'. It's unclear of what you're instructing to do. Because after they've wait, what are they suppose to do next. Hence, don't instruct them to type and wait. Rather, add a button there.

Yahoo and etc are implementing smart searches but not everyone is familiar with it as of yet. So no point telling them to 'type and wait'.

Just found out what's missing. What's the budget of eating there? Everyone wants to know if it fits within their budget.

neat system you have there. good effort.

just that you might need to adjust a bit here and there as when i go in, i find it messy. i donno where to begin with.

I agree, where is PENANG!!!!

hmm just forgot... other than wat bro SonnyCool said... there's another malaysian food website... and it was advertised on AFC... www.HungryGoWhere.com

i find it quite good... there's also a budget range, cuisine type, where, wat style...... try visiting it... u may learn a thing or two

Thanks etsuko for the feedbacks! Do agree with the smart searches and budget.

Yeah, penang and melaka... we definitely wont miss these 2 places.. but mayb soon.. u know, "get settle down" first. hehe

I think i had missed to explain the Makanlah website concept, we wanted to focus more on food photography and make a simple user interface that lets user just browse through the food...a very straightforward system where users just browse through images, click on the one interested and get all the information. Basically, guided through basic info like photos and ratings.

At the end of the day, we wanted to reward the members who has contributed the efforts of sharing as well. Therefore, there are upcoming prizes like dining vouchers, freegifts and so on. Hint: i am waiting management to confirm a special prize for xmas. (psp, iphones, ps3 .. i not sure)

In the nutshell (Secara kesimpulannya..sounds nicer), many are in plannings and will definitely keep you all updated. and hopefully can see your photos at makanlah.com . Cheers


/// on a side note, is the smillies wearing songkok? HAPPY RAMADHAN!

hey i have added ur banner into my other blog... not my food blog.. but my new blog... i am not gonna advertise my new blog to LYN members yet... i wanna get it up and running first

hey. thanks.

Looks nice..what site software did you use to design it?

nice blog. i always thought KYSpeaks is a good food blog. Now I found a better one. Keep it up!

Cheers!

KY is good.

but makanlah doesn't seem like a food blog.

it's more like a portal / service.

nice food blog you have..not bad..I think you have a few buddies run the blog together right ? =) Great job...

KiDkillER, you missed my post eh?

look, even TS doesn't say makanlah.com is a blog cos makanlah.com is not a blog. if you study it and how it works, it is a feature-rich website for people to share.

anyway their blog is at http://lovemakan.blogspot.com/

Added on September 2, 2008, 9:55 amTS - maybe highlight the blog later? as in once the blog has more entries or something.

Hi, the website developed by Archizen Creative --> http://www.archizencreative.com .

Ohh, its different kind of platform. Makanlah is more like a portal to share, while KY a really good blog. I visit his blog like everyday. haha Thanks anyway.

Hi KiDkillER, Everyone can join makanlah and share the food. and win prizes. We do hope more people can join the ride, and share the food. Cheers!

Grab the chance of winning the giveaway by just uploading and sharing the photos of foods ?

*helping them answer*

yea best food description and best photos win.. T&C apply

i'm here to report glitch.... now when i go into the treats page...... always say "Internet Explorer Cannot Open The Page....... Operation Aborted" why ar???? it oni happen when i review 30 food... when i got 22 food that time can visit that page... and i review ngam ngam 30 food... but there say i oni got 280 point

Hi ktuck,

Today whole day was up and down for the server + we are updating many many minor things. Thats why today (and yesterday) was a few problems.

Hi c_Melody,

Yes, just upload and share. In fact, you can redeem vouchers at our new section MakanTreats [ http://www.makanlah.com/treatshttp://www.makanlah.com/treats ]


Cheers!

nice stuff here, make me drool all the way i viewing the blog lolz

wanna exchange link? click my signature

I want to request for a link exchange too.

hmm phalanxx.... the vouchers??? everyone 100% can get?? or oni the winner can get?

---

Added on October 17, 2008, 8:56 pmhmm tried the treats page again... Operation Aborted again...

This post has been edited by cassplayer: Oct 17 2008, 08:56 PM

Operation Aborted? Things seems fine here.

Btw, Which winner? Giveaway?

The vouchers basically; the best submitted review will get; but its weekly basis. So, if this week cant get, probably next week and so?

The reason is; we need to control the quality of reviews submitted and abuse of points system. For example, i uploaded 30 roti canai reviews.. and a member uploaded all sorts of delicious food.. its kinda unfair if both also can get.

---

Simple'z and Aaron1kee : As for the exchange link, we are listing food bloggers now.. will keep you noted. cheers.

okie.. i get it.....
will upload my food photos soon.....


thanks for the information ....

phalanxx.... since u are listing food bloggers currently... mind to list mine too
