A Happy New Year to one and all!
Here's wishing all our readers a very Happy New Year!
Although 2009 looks to be quite a rough year ahead, we all know that there is always one thing that brings joy to the heart and that is food and friends. So even if we got to cut down on the more expensive gourmet meals, we can still gather with friends at the hawker centre and have a good time. So we will continue to source out the best and most value for money eats around Singapore. Remember that you too have a role to play by letting us know your favourite eating places.
The blog is now in its 3rd year of existence and very soon we will reach 5 million hits. Thanks for all your support and also to our makan kakis who have been organizing the various makan sessions. Now, if you have been a lurker, please do come out of the closet this year and post a comment and then come and join one of our makan sessions so that we can get to know you! Our makan kakis are a friendly and welcoming bunch and it really doesn't matter if you are a chef or if you can't tell the difference between basmati and jasmine rice. As long as you like to eat and make new friends, you are most welcome to join us. The makan sessions are organized through our forum which you can access here.
This year, we will also be having our very first overseas makan trip which is being organized in conjunction with Canon. During our trip to Penang, we will be joined by prominent Penang bloggers CK Lam and Penang Tua Pui. I look forward to meeting with some of our readers who have signed up for the trip.
I am also looking at upgrading some of the functions of the blog to make it more user friendly for everyone. Throughout the year, I have been receiving many feedback on how the blog layout can be improved and I am seriously considering a change to the Wordpress platform so that I can introduce more functions to the blog. So look out for a revamped ieatishootipost this year.
Even though we will be making changes to the blog, rest assured our mission blurb still remains the same:
24 hour access to information
which will help you satisfy your hunger
or make you more hungry.

Happy New Year to all~! :) It will be a great year for IEISIP :)
hahahaha....ok ok, Lurker #01 reporting strength! errr.....encik, where is the canteen ah?
=)))
Your blog and beautiful pictures of delicious food has made it easier for me to go through this year of cancer treatment - surgery, radiation and chemo, ie - "the works". It's increased my appetite (made my stomach growl many times) when I didn't feel like eating, gave me hope that I can come visit all the hawker stalls in Singapore and best of all - eat the delicious food that you blog about! Even though I'm 1/2 way around the world from Singapore, everyday I look forward to reading your blog! Thank you!
Wow, thanks for your comment, that means a lot to me.
I hope you will make a full recovery and when you eventually come to Singapore, do let me know and we can organize a makan session to welcome you.
lirker here
Haha, I forgot to add that you should also give yourself a pen name at the same time. Converting from a Lurker to an Anonymous is still a good first step.
Happy New Year to you! This is MYJ... Was very happy to attend the Ieat Makan Session the last round and hope to be part of it the next time!
Tomorrow, i think i will be a Muffin Convert as well, coz i will be in Tanjong Pagar area and will definitely drop by CNS to buy theirs....
Never mind, if i lost my way, i will smell my way there and buy them....LOL

Wow, i stumble upon your blog through advertlets. And i have to say, you have a knack for photography as well. All those pictures of food are making me hungry. Very addictive. :-) Keep up the great work on your blog. :-D
Thanks Darren. Interesting that you stumbled upon the blog through advertlets since I don't have their adverts. :)
