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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
