On my first bout of a photography class at Ryerson, I have met my good friend Yana.  We discovered then we have more than one thing in common other than the class.  We saw each other alight from the subway at Finch station and it turned out we lived in the same building.  Funny how […]

Emma’s Country Kitchen

September 9, 2012

I have seen good reviews about Emma’s Country Kitchen for a little over a month now.  Because of my hectic schedule, it was only today that I was able to squeeze it in.  I justified coming here today making it my source of my birthday gift for my good friend Monika.  I do have this […]

Petit Thuet

While dining in a restaurant by Queen St. West, I once wondered what was Thuet bread.  As I waited for my food, we did a quick search on what it was and found out all about Marc Thuet.  The man behind the chain of gourmet bakeries in Toronto, it was said to be one of […]

Patachou – Permanently closed

July 25, 2012

I often get asked now of what were my favorite restaurants for a variety of food choices.  If you are in a dire need for a wallop of chocolate flavor,  I’d point you to the direction of Patachou.  For several years now, I go to this little restaurant by Summerhill station, lusting over their Chocolate […]

The Stockyards Smokehouse & Larder

July 14, 2012

For the last 6 months I have planned to try this restaurant but one way or the other, I never seem to get there.  I have heard so many oohing and aaahing over it, it was literally agitating to me that it took me five times of scheduling before I got there. The last 6 […]

Copacabana Brazilian Steakhouse with Dwayne Walker

June 14, 2012

If I were to list the top 5 influential people in my life, Dwayne Walker would make my list.  If one would describe me as optimistic, I would attribute part of it to Dwayne as he was one of the people who could make me believe that I can do anything.  All these years the […]

Last night my friend Diona and I were out on the east side of Toronto to see the  Iphoneography Exhibit Opening Reception.  One of the exhibitors in this Contact 2012 event was my food stylist/partner-in-crime, Abe Wornovitzky.  We spent most of the night mingling and perusing the idea or concept of each big print displayed […]

Brew Year’s Day at The Stop’s Green Barn

January 16, 2012

January finally felt like January (finally!) with the frigid cold air greeting my face as I stepped out in the open.  Looking from the inside, it seems comfortable and toasty-warm sunny.  But this cold doesn’t stop me from my resolve.  This year is the year I seek out what Canadian foodies do in the winter.  […]

North York blessed with its own Burger Priest

As I mentioned in a December post, I have found myself a part-time teaching job that I grovelled a bit to prep for. After a year of having my own schedule, it takes a while to get into the swing of something so regular once again. As things are starting to get into a pattern, […]

I am a tourist of Toronto yet again with my youngest sister, Ish, visiting us here in Toronto this fall.  She has not been to North America before so she is just an enthralled about fall as I am.  I have lived in Toronto for about 12 years now and I am still in awe […]
