First thing to ask yourself, does it look appealing? Would I choose to eat this based on the picture?
I think it looks pretty bad. Like a manga-ish bump-on-the-head+fake blood kinda way. Food photography is about styling, mood, atmosphere... Sambal egg and rice is Indonesian food so prop accordingly. The talent is still the food but cockery, table cloth etc can be brought in to spice it up! As for the sambal, egg and rice itself you have to work harder on arranging. Food photography requires a lot of micromanagement: texture, colour, proportions; on top of composition, lighting, perspective, everything a basic photograph requires etc. If the egg/sauce wouldn't sit right, you gotta fiddle with it till it does even if it kills you. That's the kind of control and patience it takes. Because that is how you entice the food to sell.
Your image, it feels too tight. Shooting in macro has limited your creativity.
-Need a deeper DOF, it looks like u decided the sambal to be the focus point, but it left the egg as a huge OOF blob which is not good at all.
-Texture is lacking, the smooth egg has been camoed by the sauce. Appeal to our senses and memory, what is an egg, let us recognise the egg rather than covering it up with sambal.
-The grains on the far side are overexposed, need to control the light. Don't let the main light be overhead. Put it to the side. Fill light is overhead. Fill light with boucecard where required.
-Can't figure out the pattern on the table cloth/backdrop, choose a design that doesn't distract and complements the subject (colour-wise) at the same time.
-As for the styling, if you sliced the egg and controlled sambal placement, it'll look much more tasteful.
-Be faithful to the original colours. Don't cause unwanted colour shifts due to contrast & brightness edits.
Food photography isn't easy, expect to go through many many plates before getting a result to be truly proud of.
