Levetto

March 9, 2015

About two Fridays ago, I was invited to the opening of the second Levetto installation at downtown Toronto. Despite my long days at work, I made the effort to check out Chef Shahir Massoud as his bio includes being a chef at Lupa, one of Mario Batali’s restaurants in NYC. It seems to me if […]

Fat Pasha

March 5, 2015

After Abe and I wrapped up an EyeCandyTO photoshoot so late it was past the dinner hour, I randomly asked him if wants to go for a bite to eat. Since we were in the Yorkville area, I came up with Fat Pasha as the place we could go to. I know Abe would love […]

A Tale of Two Steakhouses

February 16, 2015

For the past Licious seasons, I have been doing my tasting with two sets of friends. One with a favourite friend to talk shop with, Jojo along with Raymond and Randall. The other group was with Diona Joyce, a.k.a. TitaFlips, her husband Trevor, and her sister-in-law Dee. As I have many opportunities to try different […]

Fancy Franks

February 3, 2015

Sometimes, I find myself wanting a simple snack. Nothing too heavy but with enough weight that would tide me over. What I find mostly in Toronto that in-between snacks are more of a sweet nature. My main problem is that I lean toward salty and savoury and most snacking places tend to have sweet on […]

Queen St Warehouse

January 31, 2015

I have lost count how many times I have said that I have been busy with my photography lately. I was with a client who was authoring a cookbook and it took us quite some time to finish the project. I am quite elated that it is finally done! On our last day my EyeCandyTO […]

Curing cabin fever with a trek to Kensington Market

January 19, 2015

I seriously had cabin fever last weekend. When I was done with my Photoshopping duties, I literally was giddy, running out the door and I have one thing on my mind. Spend the rest of the day in Kensington Market and have a serious food trip. And that was how I spent literally the rest […]

Ishy’s Toronto Holiday

January 11, 2015

As I sit here with what is reported as the last day of the deep freeze (for the time being anyways), I recollect what transpired for the last few weeks. I am so glad this cold set in this week just as my little sister left Toronto. I am not so sure she would give […]

Farmer’s Daughter Eatery

December 26, 2014

From time to time, I have this geeky need to just talk about photography and be all technical about it. I must admit that I keep this need just bubbling beneath the surface. But when I meet my old friends from Ryerson, it just comes out in the open and I indulge in every minute. […]

Le Dolci

December 23, 2014

I am definitely a Christmassy person. For anyone who is close to me, that fact is hard to miss as I round around getting ready well very early before the season and I shower everyone around me with my Christmas cookies as the big day drew near. This year though I was a little bit […]

Chef Aleem Syed Pop-up at The Midpoint

December 12, 2014

From time to time, I get posts and comments from readers and one post that stood out was an invitation to come to a pop-up event to showcase Chef Aleem Syed. I have already seen writeups about the Chef from Toronto Life (see article here) and he definitely piqued my interest of what his food […]
