Leslieville Pumps General Store and Kitchen

July 31, 2012

Again I found myself at Leslieville as I try to discover the hidden secret of the east side of downtown Toronto. Although saying this next find I visited as hidden might be a misnomer. Lately I find that a lot of people have checked it out. Naturally, curious person that I was, I went to […]

TOFoodFest 2012

July 30, 2012

Three weeks ago I had a surprise email from Susanne Wong, one of the organizers of TO Food Fest 2012. I was invited for a preview of their food event that happened today. When I realized that it was the same day as I am leaving for my vacation, my heart skipped a beat that […]

Patachou – Permanently closed

July 25, 2012

I often get asked now of what were my favorite restaurants for a variety of food choices. If you are in a dire need for a wallop of chocolate flavor, I’d point you to the direction of Patachou. For several years now, I go to this little restaurant by Summerhill station, lusting over their Chocolate […]

Dragonboating and T&T Waterfront Night Market

July 22, 2012

If I were to list the highlights of my summer so far, dragonboating would surely be one of the top in my list. I once paddled with the Pickering Dragonboating Club and miss being a part of it. This year, I got the chance to join another crew, The Ronin Warriors. Yesterday was my first […]

Ursa’s Summer Menu -Permanently closed

July 22, 2012

Being a food photographer, I hear it often enough that people eat with their eyes first. The moment I have seen a photo of one of the features of Ursa’s summer menu, I knew I had to get back to experience Ursa once again. I have been here twice last winter and at both times, […]

Sweet Flour Bake Shop

July 16, 2012

I did not intentionally plan to blog about Sweet Flour Bake Shop. But as I was walking pass this shop on a sweltering summer day at Bloor West Village, its ad of ice cream sandwiches was hard to resist. Feeling hot and sticky, I needed something to cool me down fast. When my friend, Valerie […]

The Good Fork

July 16, 2012

Each time the weather is perfect on a summer weekend, I always feel the need to get out and enjoy it. This weekend was no exception. When my friend Valerie asked me out for a brunch, I readily said yes and I scoured Urbanspoon.com for brunch places close to Bloor West Village. What caught my […]

Kinton Ramen

July 15, 2012

Being summer, my teaching schedule was light compared to the first few months of the year. Taking advantage of it, I brought along my sister, niece and my nephew to go food trippin’ with me downtown. All three of them have a love for Japanese cuisine and because Japanese noodles are on the top of […]

The Stockyards Smokehouse & Larder

July 14, 2012

For the last 6 months I have planned to try this restaurant but one way or the other, I never seem to get there. I have heard so many oohing and aaahing over it, it was literally agitating to me that it took me five times of scheduling before I got there. The last 6 […]

Paulette’s Original Donuts and Chicken

July 5, 2012

Every now and then I find some time to browse through the several subscriptions I have online. One of my most favorite was Toronto Life as it always gave me new ideas on which places I should do my next food trip. This recent one pointed me to Paulette’s Original Donuts and Chicken at Leslieville. […]
