Dexter’s Toronto Food Trips

March 25, 2014

0

When family visits me in Toronto, my tours seem to always revolve around food. Continuing on with my favorite cousin’s food trippins’, Dexter and I have eaten non-stop since he arrived. LOL. He has visited me several times already so all conventional tourist spots are out of our list to visit. That is why most […]

The Citizen

Last Tuesday, I was invited to the media tasting of The Citizen. I almost did not make it as I had a long road trip to Washington DC the weekend before (That would be for another blog post). I was glad I found one more burst of energy to get there as the food was […]

@LamesaTO Media Tasting Night #PassThePata

March 18, 2014

Last Monday, I was invited at Lamesa for a media preview of their new look, new menu and their new bar. As I walked up Queen St. West, close to Bathurst, I see the new signage. I do prefer this logo design from the old one. Although it has an understated clean contemporary lines, it […]

Last Tuesday, I was invited by fellow foodie, Stella Yu, a.k.a foodieyu for the Happy Hooker‘s media tasting.  I have blogged about Happy Hooker  before, falling in love with fresh-off-the-fryer shrimp corn dog in a food event I went to last summer.  It wasn’t that hard of a decision for me to make to come […]

Wednesday was peculiar that I felt so hungry faster than norm. I usually eat the same things while I work and I could not understand why the sudden need for more food. Usually I pack an afternoon snack in the form of a sandwich for my drive home. But being hungry that day, I ate […]

Pour House Irish Pub

All day Wednesday I watched the snow bury my car by the parking lot.  By the time I finally went out to go home, I had about 20cm  of snow on roof of my frozen Civic.  It was rather funny that my  -20 C guaranteed winter ankle boots were useless as the snow were up […]

Café Boulud, Winterlicious 2014

Winterlicious is on us once again. Very high on my list of Winterlicious must-go is Café Boulud at Yorkville. Café Boulud has lived up to high expectations since it opened back in late 2012. I finally got the chance to enjoy dining at this restaurant as  I actually found a slot in their busy reservation […]

Dim Sum King with Alexa Clark

I think I have lost count on how many times I have said I am so cold this winter. Whenever there was a public announcement of yet another snowstorm, I prudently stayed indoors.  But how long can you stay really indoors?  So today despite the bone-chilling windy, snowy weather, I came out of my little […]

Drake One Fifty – Temporarily closed

Today, I finally got to see my friend, Titaflips, a.k.a. Diona Joyce once again to celebrate a very belated Christmas lunch. With the crazy schedule of the holidays and now with a small little boss named Tianna Diane (see cutesy pic of Diona’s daughter), our food trips have to be scheduled with more consideration. After […]
