One of my guilty pleasures was to give in to shrimp tempura cravings.  The best way to cure this craving for unlimited quantities of shrimp tempura was to go to a cook-to-order-eat-all-you-can Japanese Restaurant.  My sister Ayen was the one who got me started to go to Syogun.  For years now, we keep on coming […]

My usual day always start with me teaching my class that would start at 9:30am all the way to 2:00pm.  My break time was mostly spent on clearing my head before I continue my class. Lunch always takes a back seat until my class finishes.  On days that I have to go downtown for EyeCandyTO shoot […]

About a week ago I received an invitation from Naomi Carniol of Environmental Defence to come and join them celebrate Ontario’s Greenbelt birthday.  About 8 years ago, protection was given to Ontario’s farmlands, green space, forests, wetlands, watersheds and the small towns around it.  This was to identify acres of land that would be dedicated […]

For two weeks now I have been craving and whining about being too tired to wake up early to get my Eggs Benedict. I finally have a free day today and the first thing I planned for it was a brunch to pacify my need for poached eggs and creamy Hollandaise. It was good that […]

A day-long EyeCandyTO photoshoot can really work up an appetite.  I normally can go on hours and hours of shooting without feeling any hunger.  I guess that surge of adrenalin and concentration kept me going the whole day.  But once I finished and packed-up for the day, then it would all come crashing in, hunger, […]

It has been several days that Abe and I were contemplating of finding Eggs Benedict.  Seeing a diner just right beside where the Dareseeker event was,  Abe and I decided to try it out hoping to find this breakfast item.  It was hard to miss this diner as it has that old-world feel of a […]

This past few weeks I have taken a hiatus as it seemed that I was full to the brim with things to be busy with.  I came to that point where my work, both as a teacher and as a photographer and my personal day-to-day all demanded attention at the same time.  Not that I […]

Now that the year was starting to to feel normal,  I am back to my usual routine.  That routine included  keeping an eye on the delightful treats I get when I go to 86’d Mondays with Ivy Knight at the Drake Hotel.  It seemed to me that there were a lot of foodies attending last […]

To indulge in more Winterlicious, Abe selected North 44 for us to try.  The main attraction for this restaurant was that it was owned and operated by Chef Mark McEwan.  Comparing the Winterlicious offerings of North 44 and Bymark (another McEwan restaurant in downtown Toronto), we were unanimous in selecting North 44.  This was because […]

My friend Jojo has tried to make sure we are going to dine during Winterlicious since last December.  Last year I have brought him with me trying out Prohibition Gastrohouse . This year, he was on anticipation when Winterlicious came back for this season.  This time around, we went out dining at Pangaea with two […]
