There are several ways to get featured on Foodie Manila.
1. Contact Me!
You can contact me at foodiemanila@gmail.com. Just leave your email as well as your contact number and food/resto you want reviewed Feature and we will accommodate you when the schedule permits.
2. Treat us to a meal!
You can treat us to a meal and we’ll gladly write about your food/resto a day or two after the meal. This will give you the the chance to be Featured! (thanks to Roxy) asap (especially for promos!) and be placed on the wide wide internet.
3. By Luck!
If by chance we eat at your place, then I’ll be Reviewing your resto/food just because I ate there!
4. Have GOOD FOOD and Service!
If you have these 2, then for sure I will be heading there and will be bringing some people!
But Why Foodie Manila?
Why not I say! It always helps to have some sort of footprint online. I am a dedicated food lover, and will write about anything I like or come across as worthy to be shared. What more can you ask for?
The difference between a Review and Feature. A review is an unbiased opinion of your restaurant or food. This cannot be bought nor asked for. The only time I review a restaurant is when I visit a restaurant on my own.
A feature is asking us to write about your restaurant and telling my readers what are the “specialties” of your restaurants. A somewhat guide to those who may want to visit your restaurant but wouldn’t know what to order.
Unless disclosed in the article, most articles here are features.
(Thanks to Roxy, a reader I suppose, for pointing this out and making me realize credibility is indeed a key issue!)
Just a quick comment of number 2 feature option. How can you write a fair review of the place when the food is on the house? Most likely, they will prepare the food better than its supposed to be.
Credibility is key in writing noteworthy blogs.
Hi Roxy, I agree. I must have overlooked my wording. As my blog grows I have neglected to change that one aspect as my fellow food bloggers have pointed this part out. I would want to take this opportunity to clarify that unless I pay for the meal, I never review. I feature restaurants. Don’t worry I’ll be changing this already!
Thanks!
I beg to differ… when Holy Cow Steak Ranch invited me to sample their food, the rib-eye steak they served me was burnt and bitter plus they had no more stock so they couldn’t even replace it. I said as much in my blog. I just tell it like it is even if it’s on the house… plus I also make it a point to mention at the start that I was invited so it means the meal was free…
Thanks Wendy! Maybe when I get as big as you I can start giving my opinion despite being invited. But right now I’m happy “featuring” as compared to reviewing.
It also doesn’t matter if the meal was free or not, just that you tell it like it is. No embellishing just because it was free.
I love the “treat us to a meal” part. Direct and straight forward…great pics btw
Very nice photos! And I like the way you acknowledged your reader Roxy’s suggestion.
Thanks! Yes, as long as it was presented in a logical and fair way and it was conveyed in a polite manner I always take it into consideration. =)
Hi there!
This is Kitchen Knight. We are a start up food delivery oh, a NIGHT food delivery service that operates in Makati
We are hoping we can get featured on your blog.
We are Night food delivery service, we are open only from 6pm to 3am.
Mainly we want to serve Night shift employees, who are tired of convenient store food, and employees who render over time in their offices.
And also, we want to service Makati residents who may be tired from work or just lazy to cook
Kindly check our website and let us know if you have questions
We hope you can help us
Thanks so much
Maybe to have a better opinion of a restaurant or food, it should be randomly tested without the owner knowing you tried their goodies. I always read your blog and I found your opinion credible enough for me to try.
Goodluck and more power to you!!!
Hi,
I’ve tried adding your blog to my RSS reader app but it seems broken. Hope you can fix that RSS FEED.
Thanks
Thanks Selwyn, looking into it now.
