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

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Before I start this blog post, let me give a disclaimer.  I am not complaining about my current busy schedule.  Busy is good.  Busy means improvement.  Busy means I am living and breathing what I set out to do.  Like YAY! And it has been busy this month.  Crazy schedules with school and my business […]

It has been a while that I have blogged about my food trips.  As my classes wrapped up, my schedule leading up to it was definitely crazy.  But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been going around indulging with Toronto’s food finds. One restaurant that has been in my radar for some time now was the […]

BQM Burger Shoppe Ossington

Having tasted their mini wonders during The Grid TO’s Burger Week Finale, once I located BQM Burgershoppe at Ossington and Dundas, I could not resist checking them out.  With the onslaught of designer burgers all over Toronto, I must say this might be one of the burgers I’d most often get to enjoy as they […]

One of my guilty pleasures was to watch reruns of Restaurant Makeover at Food TV Network.  I don’t know what it is about the show, but I do enjoy watching the process of redesigning the interiors of a restaurant and the overhaul that happens with a restaurant menu.  One episode that made so much impression […]

Arepa Cafe

After finishing a long day, my friend Abraham Wornovitzky and I popped by Arepa Cafe.  He once talked about this place telling me how satisfying it was to sink one’s teeth into a grilled handcrafted corn meal bread that is so full of stuffing.  I have never tasted Venezuelan cuisine before so curiosity got the […]

What do you do when you have an hour to kill around the Spadina/Bloor area?  Look for good food of course!  The food I was in the mood to try today was Asian fusion themed restaurant Banh Mi Boys.  This restaurant has been long in my radar as I keep on seeing it trending in […]
