Most shots are also underexposed with unwanted shadow cast on the food, and i think the shooting angle for the fish and claypot rice can be better by tilting it down a little.
Is there a reason why holding the camera and taking an overhead shot of the food isn't considered that good? Is it because it's less artistic?
I looked in other threads and noticed the food is taken from a side angle so you can see other objects in the background but blurred out like take this thread here. Most of the pictures aren't taken overhead perhaps because of the shadow effect?

OoStarDustoO thanks for the input. I must say sometimes one tends to take really quick food shots or tends to concentrate less on the shots because of hunger. Usually people are tempted to start eating the minute the food comes especially if one is in a group and some will want to eat it immediately. The food took about one hour to arrive.
Took a number of shots at this joint will post 5 pictures first
A lit underexposed. Probably next time can increase the exposure abit. Happy shooting!
How do you know if a pic is too dark or too bright aka overexposed?
judge by eye
Histogram
If judge by eye it looks ok to me that is why i didn't change the exposure value
You may want to reduce your monitor brightness a little. It is underexposed from the way i see it.
Ok done it the 3rd pic is brighter than the rest is that the correct exposure?
