Travelling Foodie heading towards anything yummy :)
Helsinki on-the-run
One of the best things my sister Ayen has done when she planned our Singapore trip was to have a long lay-over at Helsinki, Finland. Having 10 hours to burn, it gave us time to leave Finland’s Vantaa airport and explore nearby Helsinki on-the-run. It was very possible to do so as the airport was […]

Singapore
July 22, 2013
This month I travelled to Singapore to attend a family reunion. This year happened to see my mom’s 70th birthday, my niece Erika’s and my nephew’ Jeremy’s graduations. Two of my sisters, Ayen and Ishy, decided these were very good reasons for a get-together. They both planned 8 months in advance. Yes! That much foresight […]

The Clubhouse Sandwich Shop
July 10, 2013
From Toronto Life, one new spot caught my eye because of its innovative branding. Something about its graphic sensibilities drew me in and made me start reading the Introduction article of The Clubhouse Sandwich Shop in Toronto Life. Must have been that their branding was red and white too, similar to mine. As I read […]

Momofuku Noodle Bar
July 5, 2013
The infamous Momofuku Noodle Bar has been opened for a several months now and seemed to be going strong on its presence among foodies. When it opened, the onslaught of social media reaction was overwhelming. The anticipation for its opening was too hard to miss. I kept myself in fair distance, waiting for initial craze […]

TKREToronto The Kathi Roll Express
July 2, 2013
When I received an invitation to try Kathi Rolls of The Kathi Rolls Express (TKRE), I admit I knew nothing about it. That was actually the reason I came. Googling the term, I found out that this was street food from India. It was essentially flavorful Indian filling wrapped in a parantha or Indian flatbread. […]

If one would ask me what cuisine I would choose other than Filipino, my impromptu response would be Japanese. I have always love the elegant simplicity of their food. Clean to the palette and very photogenic to the eye. Every plated dish was always an art in itself. One of the most trending Japanese places […]

Simply Yummy
June 28, 2013
I had time to burn today. It was very rare that I go further than Dufferin but today I thought I’d hang out at Bloor West Village. Just a little bit west of High Park were rows and rows of tiny shops of eclectic displays. I enjoy strolling right here as you see one-of-a-kind shops […]

Aunties And Uncles After Abe’s BreakfastTV Stint – Closed
June 25, 2013
Today my day started really early. My EyeCandyTO partner, Abe, landed a cooking demo on CityTV’s Breakfast TV and they wanted him ready in the studio by 6:30am. To us, it meant that I have to rise by 4:00am (My brain is always slow to start. I generally have to idle for 30 minutes before […]

#TOFoodFest 2013
June 23, 2013
Last year when I received word about TOFoodFest, the date was the same as my departure for a vacation. I still went and checked them out and I regretted that I had to be in a hurry. I remember I promised myself that if there were a second year, I would stay longer. Because of […]

White Squirrel
June 23, 2013
One of my guilty pleasures was to constantly snack. I grew up snacking as street food was so available and cheap in the streets of Manila. It was one of the things I miss when I moved to Toronto. But it seems to me that Toronto is finally catching up to that way of eating. […]
