Three years ago today (according to Google Memories) I walked into a random kopitiam (local coffee shop) in Malaysia and saw this sign - a stall selling wonton noodles, but using one of my own photos of my own wonton noodles that I used to sell here in Sydney, on their signage. Talk about a small world, eh?
I'm not interested in suing anybody - and especially not small business owners who just want to get by - but it begs the question that often pops up in my head especially when I see home caterers here in Sydney using photos that don't belong to them, to promote their food menu - and that is, how well the dish represents what they're actually selling.
In my case, since I don't eat pork, the "char siew" in the photo is actually made with chicken; the wontons are made with prawns. Would someone order their wonton noodles on this mistaken assumption that it's made with chicken char siew (I know the wonton filling is hard to make out)?
I know I've been caught out in the past in basing my ordering on how the food looks in the photos (especially when dealing with hawker stalls manned by people who don't speak the same languages as me - many Malaysian stalls use foreign workers these days) - and being disappointed as a result. How do you feel about this?
