About

Hello, I am Mr Lay, and I’m a “HUGE foodie” & food blogger in Melbourne, Australia.

I’m a Melburnian located in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. I had an interest in food, photography & cooking since 10th grade back in high school. In 2018 I had developed many cooking skills since I used to cook for my family. A couple of months I started making cooking videos, writing up recipes uploading them to Youtube & I had so much good feedback about my cooking, food styling & food video/photography skills.

After a year of cooking, In 2019 have decided to start my first account called Fatboifoodblog, a food blog on Instagram, where I will post up most of my cooking photography & food reviews that I had visited in Melbourne CBD.

A couple of months in, after posting so many cooking & food reviews about eateries I had visited in Melbourne, I had my first 1k followers on Instagram. I was amazed how I reached 1K followers on Instagram with most of the ‘foodies’ on Instagram were supporting each other & collaborating to create food contents.

At the beginning of 2020, I had so many fun times being an experienced food blogger/ food photographer & travelling around the suburbs/CBD of Melbourne to find the best eats & brunches to share with my followers.
In Mid 2020 when the pandemic struck, it was a hard time for me & everyone since we were locked down in Melbourne. Luckily I had the opportunity from some of the hospitality business, who was doing takeaway food & they have offer deliveries to homes. I had the opportunities to write up blogs about the takeaways dishes I have tasted & have also helped the hospo spread the word of their hospitality takeaway food via my social media. #supportinglocals

In 2021 everything was slowly becoming normal & I had the chance again to travel out to find the best eats & brunches to share with my followers.
