Future’s Bakery and Cafe

June 26, 2011

One of my most favorite places in Toronto is this casual Bakery/Pub/Cafe up at the Annex, Future’s Bakery and Cafe.  I came upon it about three years ago through an internet meetup.  This place is always brimming with people.  With really cheap prices, free WiFi,  it’s a haven for UofT students on a budget.  A […]

Fred’s Not Here at King St W. – Permanently closed

One of the most influential people I have met since my move to Canada is my personal trainer, Dwayne Walker.  I have met him back in 2002 and I have followed him around since then.  He is what you can call my personal happy pill as his optimism is infectious and he can make you […]

Maybe it’s my curiosity why the competitors on Top Chef Canada got so worried about trying their flare on Ethiopian cuisine that I said yes without much of a thought when a client, Steve,  suggested it last week after a shoot.  I have no faint idea whether the food would be bland, spicy, heavy or […]

Just as what I divulged last post, my friend Natalia and I are on a hunt for a gallery to host our exhibition.  We planned on scouting the Queen St West area, close to Ossington towards Dovercourt.  I have once walked this part of town before having a nocturnal fill of art that on that […]

Korean foodie craving

It’s been a while since my last post.  Things have been quite hectic last month when I have to finish my last days as a chemist and trade it for becoming a full-fledged foodie photographer.  It’s a big jump I know.  Quite bordering on insanity.  But I have a good feeling about this change.  I […]
