Tsuki Izakaya

April 29, 2012

0

For the longest time I have tried to find time to get into the Toronto izakaya craze and haven’t found the time to go downtown to experience one.  The one time I made it to one, the line was too long and on a cold day, I am not quite ready to line up for […]

Dutch Dreams

Last night my friend Diona and I were out on the east side of Toronto to see the  Iphoneography Exhibit Opening Reception.  One of the exhibitors in this Contact 2012 event was my food stylist/partner-in-crime, Abe Wornovitzky.  We spent most of the night mingling and perusing the idea or concept of each big print displayed […]

Lamesa Filipino Kitchen at Bathurst and Queen – closed

April 21, 2012

0

For some weeks now, chatter about the opening of a full-service Filipino restaurant was abuzz over social media. Why was this unusual, you ask? Just like other Filipinos, I was brought up with very good home cooking everyday and with every meal.  It may seem labour-intensive but that is the nature of a Filipino family.  […]

This little piggy went to Bathurst and Dundas

Last week I had to suffer through a craving for Lechon Kawali that I made sure this week I get to swing by Kanto.  Calling my friend Tita Flips, a.k.a Diona Joyce, I checked out her menu for this week and luckily she has my favorite as an item for the week.  On my way […]

Monday morning I receive a text from one of my closest friends, Jojo, asking me if I want to check out High Park later that evening.  Spring being too early in Toronto, I immediately thought the park is probably pink with all the cherry blossoms in full bloom.  Despite the weather predictions of rain, I […]

Sneaky Dees

When in downtown, I normally go north or south using the Bathurst St. route.   Each time I pass Bathurst and College, right in the southeast corner, it would be virtually impossible to miss how lively and jampacked the corner restaurant/concert venue.  Sneaky Dee’s has been pulling people in since the 80’s and it is quite […]

Kim’s a la Cart at Yonge and Finch

April 11, 2012

One of my foodie guilty pleasures just happens to be just around the corner where I live.  For about two years or so now,  right by Yonge and Finch stood a food cart, Kim’s à la cart.  Quite popular with the pedestrians that passes by them, this little nook sells a variety of Korean street […]

Toronto Underground Market

Saturday was a day of firsts.  Finally I made it to the famed Toronto Underground Market.  All of the past events always have left me with scheduled conflicts that I had to back out last minute at going.  I found myself at the opposite side of the table though.  This time, I did not come […]

The Harbord House and Linux Caffe

Today has been a comedy of errors I felt so disoriented how I could have planned a day so bad.  I normally would have a plan and have every detail sorted out in advance.  If time permits, I even have contingencies to back it up.  Today, it felt like my alter ego came out of […]
