I Sharpened My Skills with CUTCO

November 10, 2013

Through following one of my favorite foodies, Alexa Clark, I got in CUTCO‘s Sharpen Your Knife Skills event last Wednesday. Set-up in a classroom-setting, the affair was brimming with foodies eager to learn proper and practical techniques of how to use and care of knives. While I am a big fan of cooking and fussing […]

Hudson Kitchen

October 25, 2013

Update: Hudson Kitchen has closed :( —- I have known Chef Robbie Hojilla for a while now. I have followed his food around now for a few years and what striked me most was his attention to detail and how he talked about his food. Articulate in his descriptions, I always enjoyed devouring the food […]

#FoodivalTO

October 2, 2013

Food events and entertainment always go hand in hand. To have that distraction as one indulges in good eats was always a good idea. Now when the food event is carnival-themed like FoodivalTO , I still am very much a captured audience. Decades of watching buskers, I am still much in awe of the courage […]

The Caledonian

September 24, 2013

It seems that lately we are having a reprieve from the onset of fall. When we think it would finally start dropping in temperatures, we get a wave of days that dance about the border of 20-something degrees. Looking at the 14-day forecast, up until about Wednesday next week still seems holding on to the […]

Dr. Generosity – Permanently closed

September 13, 2013

There is something so right about waking up lazily on a Sunday morning and having a really indulgent breakfast. That was what happened last weekend. After a very long week, I planned to see my friend Helen and have brunch. Wanting to have no issues with parking nor distance, I chose a restaurant that was […]

@DeluxRestaurant – Permanently closed

August 22, 2013

I have been quiet for a while. Quiet in a sense that I lost my voice for a few days. As I am a teacher, it was a major concern when my doctor told me that there was nothing to prescribe but to get myself to refrain from talking for 3 – 5 days. Luckily, […]

Rock Lobster – Permanently closed

August 5, 2013

Popular TUM alum Rock Lobster have been a massive success to Toronto foodies for such a long time now. Every TUM I have been into, their hawker booth has one of the longest queues. I took my time lining up at their restaurant they opened at Ossington, thinking that over time, the waiting time for […]

A-OK Foods – Permanently closed

August 4, 2013

Last Wednesday night I absent-mindedly forgot to turn off the headlights of my car as I waited for a friend ran an errand. Pouring rain made the night cold and helplessly wet, draining the battery when I stupidly left the headlights on. The supposedly quick errand became almost an hour wait for CAA. Sitting in […]

Grand Electric

August 2, 2013

While reading an article in NOW Magazine, it surprised me to read that Grand Electric was open for lunch. Three times in the past I have meant to try their food but walked away when the queue meant over an hour waiting outside by the street. I have patience to queue up once it’s a […]

The Clubhouse Sandwich Shop

July 10, 2013

From Toronto Life, one new spot caught my eye because of its innovative branding. Something about its graphic sensibilities drew me in and made me start reading the Introduction article of The Clubhouse Sandwich Shop in Toronto Life. Must have been that their branding was red and white too, similar to mine. As I read […]
