Image by @myyellowplate / Instagram To set yourself apart in the see of Instagram food bloggers, you need a unique idea. Ideally, that’s something that will make your photos look distinctly different from the others, and this guy from India was lucky enough to have it happen by accident.
“My Yellow Plate was not intentional. I never planned that I would pick up a yellow plate and go out looking for food,” says Himanshu Sehgal, an engineer from Delhi. “One fine day in 2015, my mom served me Rajma Chawal on this yellow plate. No one knows where it came from, it was just there in the kitchen. I remember taking a picture of it and sharing it on my personal Instagram profile.”
“It wasn’t a great shot but it still clicked with the viewers, getting several likes and comments from friends and family,” he continues his story. “This was probably because most Indian households use either steel thalis or pastel-colored crockery and a bright yellow plate was conspicuous. Intrigued, I decided to carry the yellow plate along with me while traveling. Every time I would eat on it, I would share it with people and let them know what’s on my yellow plate.”
Below are his photos.

WHEN IN DRESDEN. @myyellowplate . Welcome to Dresden. Dresden is the capital city and, after Leipzig, the second-largest city of the Free State of Saxony in Germany. On the banks of the lovely Elbe River, the German city of Dresden is lush and green, filled with forests and gardens and parks. The city is rich with cultural and artistic history; the great operatic composer Wilhelm Wagner debuted a number of works here in the 1800s and, today, an independent light opera company keeps the classical art form modern and fresh. . In the picture is Dresden Frauenkirche. Germany’s most notable landmark, the Frauenkirche, has a history mirrored in its city. Constructed in the 18th century, the church was destroyed in the firebombing of Dresden during World War II. The reconstruction of the exterior was finally completed in 2004 and it now stands tall once again in the city. Around the Dresden Frauenkirche, you can find a lot of cafes and bar to grab a beer and snacks. I treated myself with the Fried Chicken Burger from Burgerei; one of the Best Places to eat Burger in Dresden. . P.S When in Dresden, Dresden Frauenkirche is a must see. . 📸: Clicked with Vivo V9 @myyellowplate @vivo_india #vivographer #vivoindia #vivov9 #vivo #myyellowplate #germany #dresden #visitgermany #germany #dresdenfrauenkirche #Enjoygermanfood #instafood #good

WHEN IN BERLIN. . HERE'S THE WORLD'S BEST DONER KEBAB ON MY YELLOW PLATE! WHERE DO YOU GET IT? READ ON. . Coming to Berlin and never eating doner kebab is a sin. Seriously, you can't miss it. These Turkish pseudo-sandwiches packed with juicy meat sliced from a vertical rotisserie are a treat for the taste buds. Seeing as the city is covered in more kebab shops than you can shake a skewer at, this is where you get the best one in the town and in the WORLD. Yes, you read it. . Mustafa's Gemuse Kebab Shop in Berlin serves the best Doner Kebabs in the World. . You might have to wait in line for 2 to 3 hours to get a kebab from this tiny street-side stand, but once you take the first bite, you'll understand why you did. Kebabs here are loaded with crispy chicken, fresh feta, and a secret ingredient that, undoubtedly, sets this place apart. One bite and you will know why it is the BEST DONER KEBAP in the world. I had to wait for straight 3 hours to get it on My Yellow Plate. . The big question: is it worth the wait? Yes it is. I had two of them and saved one for later. I am a fan of Mustafa Gemuse Kebab now and can't wait to get my hands back on it. . P. S I took this picture in my hotel room since I ran out of day light by the time I got my hands on the Doner Kebab. #MyYellowPlate #WorldFood #Berlin #Germany
