During the recent May Day holiday we headed to Chinatown for Dim Sum breakfast. We initially wanted to go to the YUM CHA restaurant but changed our mind when we spotted Mouth Restaurant was opened.
We were lucky to get a table as the restaurant was fully booked out for breakfast that morning and we actually needed to book a table before hand.

We ordered the usual dishes for Dim sum and were quite pleased with the quality of the items served. They were certainly tasty and up to our expectation for a 5 star Chinese Restaurant.

This dish was strictly for the guys- R and Monkey boy. The other kids and me won’t touch this.

Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram accounts are a must have if you want to actively promote yourself across the most highly traffic sites. Besides having accounts at these sites you still need to make sure that you connect with others via Google + and Linked In and be active forum and groups.
It really is a tall order with a lot to be done to ensure that you reach out to all your potential readers out there. It can be quite cumbersome and time consuming however if you have set up your “system” right with all the latest automated posting and pings if can be a breeze.
If I only knew how to syndicate my content earlier on it would certainly help me progress faster in developing my brand awareness in the blog sphere. I could have save all the hours I spent learning the ropes from scratch. I would have set up my social media accounts together with this blog to maximize the growth of Dominique’s Desk.
I would have been more aggressive in cross promotions and building up my subscriber/ reader base. It would have certainly allowed me to build up my community faster and give me a better edge then I presently have.
