After days of being sick with flu last week, I just had to make the most of this past weekend.  I literally could not bear the thought of staying in and not going out Saturday night.  So I called up my friend Valerie and asked her if she wanted to have an impromptu beer/dinner with […]

La Bella Managua and Aroma

February 26, 2012

Sunday is a day where I most do nothing and vegetate on the couch, re-energize and watch whatever reruns on TV.  This Sunday though my friend gets me out to try Nicaraguan cuisine.  I haven’t tried Nicaraguan cuisine before going to La Bella Managua but I have a feeling that I would enjoy their cuisine.  […]

My Chicago deep dish pizza experience

One of the things I have significantly decreased with my change of professions are my travels out of Canada.  Whenever I get a reason to travel within reasonable cost, I pounce on it with an enthusiasm of a kid inside a candy store.  This past long weekend was Ontario’s Family day weekend.  When my good […]

The Bier Market

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 […]

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 […]
