Sukho Thai

I am quite joyous with the recent surge of Asian cuisine in Toronto.  Be it Filipino or the never-ending surge of ramen-centric restaurants, these were the flavors that I was accustomed to growing up.  To have a variety of authentic Asian cuisine within Toronto was a cure to homesickness and cravings that would never go […]

Hawker Bar (permanently closed) and Yogurty’s

December 2, 2012

I have a confession to make.  Each time I go with a food trippin’ with TitaFlips a.k.a Diona Joyce, we almost always end up trying two restaurants in one outing.  We never really plan on being that indulgent but it seemed to me, when there was no devil’s advocate to stop eating, Diona and I […]

Rasher – Permanently closed

November 21, 2012

My usual routine to wake myself each morning was to check all the subscriptions I have on my Inbox. Last Tuesday morning, while trying to will myself to start my day, I started reading Toronto Life’s latest post and one recent opening caught my eye. It was the introduction of Rashers, an all-bacon sandwich shop […]

Soupstock 2012

When about 200 chefs band together to get their voices heard to Stop the Mega Quarry, the crowd comes.  Just like what happened a year ago at Foodstock, foodies came in droves to support the efforts to stop the proposal to build a limestone mega quarry at Melancthon township.  When last year the attendance was […]

Toronto Garlic Festival 2012

Just as I promised myself last year, this year I was not going to miss the 2nd annual Toronto Garlic Festival.  September rolled in and I was in a lookout for the announcement.  Imagine my happiness when I found out that this year was not a conflict with my Algonquin trek.  In fact, it was […]

September – TUM’s 1st Birthday

October 1, 2012

When my friend Diona Joyce of Kanto told me that the September TUM would be a celebration of its first year, I was taken aback of how fast time flies.  I still remember that time when I first saw the tweets for the first and the second events last year and how frustrated I was […]

When my friend, Helen, volunteered to jump on a train from Mississauga to downtown Toronto to meet me, of course, I readily said yes. I tried to find an interesting area close to the Union Subway Station and decided we just go walking towards the St. Lawrence area.  Looking for recommendations from Urbanspoon, I decided […]

Messini’s Authentic Gyros

It was my first day back teaching and I have to drag myself out of bed (Yes! I am still in denial that my vacation is over!).   It didn’t help that I woke up to a gray rainy day.  After basking in a weather with clear blue skies for the past month, this day seemed […]

The Rooster Coffee House

On my way home one day from Leslieville, I passed by the length of Broadview where you can see the expanse of the Toronto skyline through a big park.  I once did a shoot here for my friend and personal trainer, Dwayne Walker .  I used every moment of that shoot to get back at […]

What any candy store to a photographer was a store like Vistek. Because of my plans to travel, I thought I’d give myself a treat and grab myself a better camera bag. Such was my disappointment when I discovered that what I was lusting for a few weeks was actually out of stock.  My shopping […]
