Food photography? hmmmm...

Recently, I joined  food photography free on line 30 day lessons.
It's only been 8 days and I've found my self struggle with the assignments.
Problems: spare time to do the assignments, which props to use with which food, the composition,lightning...just to name a few. On top of that I don't cook and food or eating is not my passion. For me all meals are either good or bad,no between and don't ask me to describe it because you'd get the answers 1 of these two: good/ delicious or bad.
Maybe I need to develop my love for food to get an "intuition" of what construct tempting food photos.
As you can see from these photos, I'm not there yet :(

Food Photography Trip: Korean Cuisine (Bibimbap, kimchi, cold noodle)

Before I went to Korea, I only knew 1 Korean food: Kimchi. In fact, Kimchi in Korea is just a free small side dish every time you order food in a restaurant. Although I don’t like the smell and the taste of kimchi (too sour), there’re still other kinds of Korean food that I like, for example: bibimbap and Korean instant noodle, but not cold noodle. I had an unfortunate experience of ordering cold noodle and still regret it for the rest of my life, uughh. When I ordered it, I thought it would be nice to have something cold on a hot day. However, I was surprised when it came with scissors. Apparently, you have to cut the noodle with scissors since it's too hard for a plain-normal-looking fork. Don't ask me about its taste, I'm (or my tongue is, to be exact) still trying to forget it. Lesson learned: "cold" is best associated with drinks, not food.

If pork is “haram’ for you, be sure to ask before you order (there’s this sausage-like food in which rice is mixed with pork blood)

This is how scissors come to handy

Before you eat bibimbap, mix them while it's hot
