I think a blog is slightly different from a newspaper. A newspaper should be objective and report news and not include the author's opinion. A blog on the other hand is meant to reflect the author's personal view towards the place. I mean would everyone know that the place is not known for its desserts? I guess when readers read a food blog, they want to know how bloggers feel towards the place and not some generic statements. So after reading the blog they can decide if they still want to visit the place for dessertsSLYuanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17635542756162645354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7946609646703803527.post-60695432988355682382009-01-01T21:05:00.000+08:002009-01-01T21:05:00.000+08:00But if you look at the shop exterior, they do feat...But if you look at the shop exterior, they do feature cakes and pastries...
