Bar Isabel

After being prudent for the last few days about being out and about after that dreadful ice storm, I finally succumbed to cabin fever.  I just had to get out.  I found myself at Kensington market that afternoon.  After going through my usual rounds of favourite stores at  Kensington,  the idea of having a good […]

Scouting the location of my future exhibition space for CONTACT 2014, I found myself at Queen St. West on afternoon. I am still yet to firm up dates and agreements about the show but I would be sure to feature it here when I get things ironed out. As I was already there, I swung […]

This past past Monday, upon invitation of owner Sumit Kohli, I was back at The Kathi Rolls Express to try and what they have in store for their TKRE Butter Chicken Festival.

Christmas at San Remo Bakery

December 10, 2013

Last Sunday I was invited to experience a December morning at San Remo Bakery. I have always loved this bakery and constantly come back for their bread (the sundried baguette is so amazing!). To be invited for a Christmas goodies preview was too hard to resist. Around 11am, my EyeCandyTO partner, Abe and I walked […]

Sometimes there are those days wherein you have a dire need to rant and it is always good that I have a good friend who I know who would listen. Wednesday was such a day. Both my friend Jojo and I have things to unload of stresses from work and from our day-to-day. We were […]

The Pie Commission

December 1, 2013

I found myself on the south-western part of Etobicoke a few weeks ago as I searched for unique Christmas gifts. I tend to go far and wide when I want to find quirky and unique gifts for family and friends. Shopping tends to build up my appetite and I must admit I am not too […]

Carmen – Permanently closed

With me running around, trying to set up things for my upcoming exhibition, Catalonia Castellers, I have pangs of homesickness for Barcelona now and then.  There are a lot of things I love about Barcelona and of course that includes its food.  Last Wednesday was one day where the craving was bad.  Lately, there have […]

Ajuker Fried Chicken – Permanently closed

This post is long overdue. I once swung by my favorite dining partner, Diona, a.k.a. TitaFlips and as we hanged out, a craving started forming. To be correct about it, it was Diona who started craving something Asian. She was still pregnant then and the lil’ boss inside her agrees when she goes for familiar […]

Last Thursday was Bangkok Garden’s launch of their newly renovated bar and lounge. I first came across this restaurant last December when I was invited to attend Yonge St. BIA’s December festivities. Bangkok Garden is neatly tucked by Yonge and Elm St., away from the throngs of pedestrians that always fill the sidewalk of Yonge. […]
