Well, we didn't really plan to have this (*we thought nobody would be interested in this!), but we got a mail from one of the curious members! So we did a simple write-up...

Ok, lets start from the founding of Foodlane [1st April 2006].
I'm not really a foodie myself. I don't go around hunting for nice food. So I ended up eating some "usual" food all the time, like chicken rice, roti prata and mixed vegetables rice. I was eating prata for supper all the time.. and I really mean ALL THE TIME. Not that I really liked it, but I didn't know where else to go! So, with my equally frustrated prata friend, we decided to start Foodlane, to look for more food choices. |
Work.. Work.. and more work [2nd April 2006 to Today].
We did some research. Surfed the web. Asked around. And then, we started developing this site. We designed and designed, we tried and tried, but the site wasn't really appealing. Just like what my sister aptly describes, "See liao, don't feel like eating..." (well, we are both programmers). Desperate, we roped in a web designer friend. In a night, he got us this site design. Yipee!! Thanks Danny!
So, with the design, we started coding, coding and coding, day and night. day and night... Then my prata friend started talking to the hawkers and taking photos. The initial batches of photos were.. ermm.. so-so. We had those with misplaced chopsticks, uncooked food and some dishes with so much gravy/soup, I couldn't make out what they were selling! After some yelling and screaming (*just joking), my prata friend finally showed some improvement! Hahaha...

Hopes and Dreams
Well, we hope that everybody here who visits Foodlane will leave a review or two! It really helps others in choosing the next meal! We would like to have an active Foodlane community here too, where people share their views and interact with one another. Join Foodlane Groups! It comes with a discussion board, photo sharing features and more!
Foodlane's Future
We are looking into adding restaurants into Foodlane as well, in addition to the hawkers currently. On top of that, we'll be listing food events, contests and polls. Other than these, we hope to create more buzz and do more marketing for Foodlane (*you can help us by inviting your friends! =P).
And if you would like to know who I am, this is me and here is my prata friend, haha! And here's Danny, our web designer! =)
We are online on most nights, feel free to message us to chat or simply send us an email!
See ya around!
