Johnny’s Hamburgers

Being a teacher, sometimes there were days that were harder than most.  This happens when I teach too much theoretical concepts and not practical chemistry.  Too many theories to put in my head and when my students ask for me to explain harder concepts, it really can get your head pounding.  Days like that, I […]

There was a time when most of the places I dine in was in Mississauga. That was because I used to work in the area. Every now and then I do head back to see the good friends that I miss. When I was invited by Lien Tran of &Company Restaurant and Bar to try […]

Made in China HotPot Restaurant – Temporarily closed

April 27, 2013

Last week, my friend Tere was craving for some hotpot.  Admittedly, when she mentioned it to me, I was interested right away. We used to go to hotpots years ago more often than we do now. The general idea was that the place was setup eat-all-you-can and a pot filled with your chosen broth goes […]

I found myself in Pickering last night.   My sister, Ayen, asked me to drive her there to do an errand. One thing I could never resist on doing while in Pickering was swing by Chef Yan’s Chinese Food.  I discovered this take-out Chinese joint years ago when I used to visit Pickering twice a […]

One of the highlights of my week was attending the opening of Toronto’s Chop Steakhouse.  Didn’t take me too long to decide to go after I received my invitation.  What was a little bit daunting was that I was to go alone as my EyeCandyTO partner Abraham was out of the country for a while.  […]

Walking the streets of Barcelona on the last day of my vacation has always been a tug of war of melancholy and enthusiasm.  I have always been attached to Barcelona and it felt like home.  It has always been there to inspire and get me at my most creative. When I come back to Toronto, […]

Three weeks ago I had a surprise email from Susanne Wong, one of the organizers of TO Food Fest 2012.  I was invited for a preview of their food event that happened today.  When I realized that it was the same day as I am leaving for my vacation, my heart skipped a beat that […]

Feeding my hungry dragon at Mickey’s Pizza

I met Sandi Stoyan at a networking event last June with the Women’s Culinary Network. Deep in conversation with two other members, I see the passion and animation of how she expressed her love for food. It was like a magnet that drew me into the circle of banter. I later learned that this kindred […]

My Sushi Comfort Food in Toronto

March 28, 2011

I stumbled by this Japanese restaurant years and years ago, Super Sushi House at Kennedy and Ellesmere in Scarborough.  You see, it’s located right beside the Scarborough gym I used to go to.  I would have gym appointments several times a week and when I arrive too early, I kill the time right at this […]
