The Bier Market

February 25, 2012

0

What is good about having friends who are big fans of beer is that you get to find out places that serve the most beers on tap.  You start to get an understanding the little differences in taste.  I am yet to order a dark ale and with all my recent trips to beer loving […]

Taco Night Market, 86’d at the Drake Hotel

February 15, 2012

Going to 86’d Mondays at the Drake Hotel is becoming a regular indulgence.  This past Monday featured a wicked variety of tacos and premium tequila tasting.  Sweetening the event even further, free beers were also handed out as it was the Drake Hotel’s 8th birthday.  Now with this promise of a good time, how could […]

Ursa at Queen St. West

I met brothers Jacob and Lucas Sharkey Pearce late summer last year at 99 Sudbury while doing an assignment for CityBites.  On that short time that I spent to check out 99 Sudbury, I got into a lengthy conversation with Lucas how they strive to incorporate nutrition into the dishes they create.  This extra mile […]

Today I have invited two good friends, Valerie and Natalia, to try Philippine Civet Coffee that I brought home from Manila.  Afternoon coffee would never be complete without something sweet to go along with it, so I went out this morning to find something to pair the coffee with.  I had the full intention to […]

Kanto by TitaFlips

Through Twitter I met a kindred spirit, Diona Joyce, aka Tita Flips.  We have never met before Twitter but we instantaneously identified with each other, primarily because of our love for food.  It eventually came that we worked together in a photoshooot for her up and coming Kanto, soon-to-be a Filipino foodie haven at Bathurst […]

What would make Winterlicious doubly better?  I must say it’s when you go to a restaurant participating in this mouth-watering event with a very good friend and you split all of what you order right in the middle.  You get double the satisfaction, double the lip-licking, double the experience. I have scoured countless menus for […]

Popup Sandwiches, 86’d Mondays at the Drake Hotel

Countless times I see how people would talk about the day after of 86’d Mondays.  I often wondered about it and never had the opportunity to go and check it out until this year.  I most often than not have a photography class or workshop that is almost always scheduled on a Monday.  86’d Mondays […]

Arabesque

Thursday was a day that reminded me I was in Canada.  Finally the snow storm came and it blew hard.  That day I was going to meet two friends to cook up a whirlwind of business schemes and I started questioning the idea of meeting at Dufferin farmers market located downtown by Bloor and Dufferin.  […]

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, […]
