Christmas Cookies

December 24, 2011

4

One of the traditions I have embraced each Christmas here in Canada is having a cookie bake-off marathon with my friends.  It started when my friend Monika invited me over to bake cookies to give as gifts for her Polish friends.  Growing up, my idea of cookies are always simplistic sugar cookies, sometimes buttery, sometimes […]

Jedd’s Frozen Custard

December 11, 2011

0

It’s that time of the year when seeing friends is top of my list. This Sunday I reserved for seeing my friends from Ryerson.  One of us lives at Yonge and Eglinton and for that reason, our choices for a brunch place was limited within that area.  Seeing most brunch places have mixed reviews, I […]

Feeding my hungry dragon at Mickey’s Pizza

December 6, 2011

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 […]

Bibingka and Tita Flips

December 4, 2011

One of the things I was lucky to have when I was in Manila was bibingka.  This sweet-savory treat most commonly appears only during the Christmas season, signalling the start of Misa de Gallo.  It’s Filipino tradition to rise up and early for mass that starts at 4:30am for nine days before Christmas.  As a […]

Murray’s Sandwich Emporium

December 3, 2011

0

It’s rather rare that I rave about a sandwich.  Two of my closest friends go absolutely nuts on the sight of good bread and I find it amusing.  This is because I have grown up at a place where rice is king.  So for me to blog about how absolutely amazing a sandwich is really […]

FoodTruckEats with Ishy

October 31, 2011

2

With all the Food Truck Eats that I have attended this summer, my little sister Ishy have expectations that she and I would be able to get her into such an event during her visit to Toronto.  Such is a tall order during the fall.  Luck was with me as Yvonne from Bonfire Catering tipped […]

Moccasin Trail Park and Gonoe Sushi Japanese

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 […]

Nuit Blanche 2011

October 2, 2011

Nuit Blanche, Toronto’s 6th annual sunset-to-sunrise art festival, is one of my most anticipated for the year.  It’s when art galleries and independent artists open their doors to the public and people can literally walk all over downtown Toronto and experience art in almost every corner.  Toronto is wide-awake the whole night, interacting and participating […]

Diner En Blanc Toronto 2011

September 28, 2011

3

This past year has such an eye-opener to me of how little I knew Toronto before. Each new thing I discover, I am amazed I lived in Toronto all this time and never knew how many events happen on the underground. I happen to come across the event Diner En Blanc on Facebook by following […]

Sanremo Bakery

September 11, 2011

I came to know of this place from a former boss, Paul,  who always shows up to our group meetings with a box of goodies coming from Sanremo Bakery.  Each time a different treat, always such a pleasure to taste a cookie that doesn’t taste JUST sweet.  There is depth and layers of flavour and […]
