Momofuku Noodle Bar

July 5, 2013

The infamous Momofuku Noodle Bar has been opened for a several months now and seemed to be going strong on its presence among foodies. When it opened, the onslaught of social media reaction was overwhelming. The anticipation for its opening was too hard to miss. I kept myself in fair distance, waiting for initial craze […]

TKREToronto The Kathi Roll Express

July 2, 2013

When I received an invitation to try Kathi Rolls of The Kathi Rolls Express (TKRE), I admit I knew nothing about it. That was actually the reason I came. Googling the term, I found out that this was street food from India. It was essentially flavorful Indian filling wrapped in a parantha or Indian flatbread. […]

JaBistro

June 29, 2013

If one would ask me what cuisine I would choose other than Filipino, my impromptu response would be Japanese. I have always love the elegant simplicity of their food. Clean to the palette and very photogenic to the eye. Every plated dish was always an art in itself. One of the most trending Japanese places […]

Simply Yummy

June 28, 2013

I had time to burn today. It was very rare that I go further than Dufferin but today I thought I’d hang out at Bloor West Village. Just a little bit west of High Park were rows and rows of tiny shops of eclectic displays. I enjoy strolling right here as you see one-of-a-kind shops […]

Aunties And Uncles After Abe’s BreakfastTV Stint – Closed

June 25, 2013

Today my day started really early. My EyeCandyTO partner, Abe, landed a cooking demo on CityTV’s Breakfast TV and they wanted him ready in the studio by 6:30am. To us, it meant that I have to rise by 4:00am (My brain is always slow to start. I generally have to idle for 30 minutes before […]

White Squirrel

June 23, 2013

One of my guilty pleasures was to constantly snack. I grew up snacking as street food was so available and cheap in the streets of Manila. It was one of the things I miss when I moved to Toronto. But it seems to me that Toronto is finally catching up to that way of eating. […]

@Market707 Fish FryDay

June 16, 2013

For most of you who follow me regularly through WordPress and Twitter, you know how often I frequent Market 707 by Bathurst and Dundas to hang-out with my good friend, Diona Joyce a.k.a TitaFlips. Last Friday I came for another reason. Last Friday, I had to check out the kick-off celebration of Scadding Court’s Annual […]

@MavrikWinebar

June 15, 2013

Most rainy days, I would love to curl up on my bed, watching the mesmerizing rain by my window. Last Thursday, the rain pitter-pattered but I still went out for the night. I don’t think I would pass up the opportunity to learn more about wines. Mavrik Wine Bar sent me an invitation to try […]

@MoRoCoChocolat Purple Party

June 13, 2013

I have once talked about my love for chocolates in this blog. Despite having this addiction for gourmet chocolates, I haven’t been blogging much about it here in Toronto because I almost always find it too sweet compared to what I enjoyed in Switzerland. That Switzerland trip set the bar too high as I am […]

Chipotle Mexican Grill

June 9, 2013

I used to go all the time downtown by University Avenue and Front St to go to a gym. Every week it was my routine. From work, I would drive to get to this gym one block south. During days when I have a bit time to spare, I wished quick nourishment other than the […]
