Yakitori Bar

December 29, 2012

2

Numerous times before Christmas, my friend Diona has planned for us to visit Sang Kim’s Yakitori Bar. She has been following the progress of the planning and opening of this restaurant through Sang Kim’s blog, How To Open A Restaurant in 30 Days and was excited to see the amalgamation of all that hard work […]

Johnny Jackson – Permanently closed

December 28, 2012

2

Ever since I saw this Johnny Jackson feature from TheGridTO, I have planned and schemed to swing by this late night joint. I thought it was a novel idea for a late night snack back to keep it simple by creating boxed comfort foods. Taking away the difficulty of a balancing act of holding on […]

Bakerbots Baking

Of all the shoots that I have done for CityBites, I was most happiest of the image I have created shooting for their article on Bakerbots Baking.  It was a delectable cake sitting prettily on display, instantaneously making anyone crave for a slice of it.   That day I ended up not asking for that […]

Cafe Polonez

One of the people who is closest to me is a Polish lady by the name of Monika Lovell. For years working at GlaxoSmithKline, she has been 1/2 of a dynamic duo. I could always count on her to cover my back as much as I would do for her. She used to joke that […]

Richmond Station

Just like any Torontonian foodie, I was addicted to watching Top Chef Canada and was rooting for Chef Carl Heinrich. Watching the show, I identified with his straightforward, no fuss, quiet demeanour. When the twitterverse was abuzz with his opening a restaurant at Richmond St. West, downtown Toronto, I knew I just had to come […]

Weslodge Saloon – Permanently closed

November 5, 2012

If there was one thing that was consistent about critic reviews about Weslodge Saloon,  it was that it consistently enthralled patrons of its food, interiors and its service.  It has gotten me curious to search for it and get more information about the food that they serve. Seeing their website, I was hooked as I […]

DT Bistro

If there is one restaurant that my EyeCandyTO partner Abraham Wornovitzky never stops talking about, it is DT Bistro.  He never fails to comment how the desserts were beyond good.  This past Halloween night, we finally found time to try it and now I am a believer. As we walked in through the doors, your […]

A Night at the Dish Cooking Studio with Abe

November 3, 2012

0

I have met my EyeCandyTO partner Abraham Wornovitzky about 3 years ago in a one-week intensive food styling course  at George Brown College.  Back then I thought it would be useful for me to enroll for the course to understand a food stylist’s perspective.  I thought it would make me a better photographer to understand the […]

A Night of USA Rice, Molecular Cuisine with Chef John Placko

October 28, 2012

0

When FayeClack Communications Inc. sent me an email to join a night of Molecular Cuisine and a demonstrations on different use of USA Rice, it didn’t take me too long to decide.  You could say the email grabbed me in two levels. The lab geek in me came out peeking and I doubt there would […]

The Doughnut Battle at 86’d Mondays at the Drake Hotel

October 16, 2012

0

One of my guilty pleasures was to dive into the gourmet indulgence that was 86’d Mondays at the Drake Hotel.  I haven’t been coming to these regular Monday events for a while this past summer as I have been away for a vacation and have to double time to catch up with work when I […]
