I found myself with time to spend one afternoon in Etobicoke by Bloor and Islington.  I don’t frequent this area but I was to visit a friend and I was too early.  I opted to scout the streets and when I got my fill of old houses that would give you flashbacks of the 70s […]

Spring Villa renamed Ritzy Palace Chinese Cuisine

Updated Nov 1, 2021: Spring Villa has a new name, Ritzy Palance Chinese Cuisine. I haven’t been back to attest if the food is as good as it used to be but they seem to have comparable menu. ——————— Back in February, we celebrated Chinese New Year in Spring Villa.  I sadly could not blog […]

Maple Leaf Tavern

A few weeks ago I was invited to Maple Leaf Tavern launch party.  As most times I am in anticipation of what the restaurant would be offering for us to try.  But I was especially looking forward to the event as it was the first time that my friend and sistah-from-another-motha Catalina would be joining […]

There was one night about a week ago when I just thought of how much I miss the company of one of my favourite dining partners, Diona, a.k.a. TitaFlips. Between her very hectic Kanto and catering schedule and me working full time, our dinners together has lately been scant.  I sent her a text and […]

Each time I look at my godchild Anne,  I still see a baby.  She is all grown up now and last weekend was her Holy Communion day. To celebrate the occasion, my friend Tere selected a restaurant that took me by surprise.  I have never come across the name but I believe locals love them […]

Hotpot on Yonge – Permanently closed

April 19, 2016

One of my guilty pleasures is eating hotpot style. The thing about hotpot is that it is best when it is shared with a friend. Most of them are setup AYCE and so you better come hungry. There is one that is close to me, HotPot on Yonge and I enjoyed a meal there one […]

The Hole in the Wall

After spending the afternoon walking the wide expanse of the Exhibition Place for the Artist Project a few weeks ago, my friend Valerie suggested we wind down with a drink at this place at the Junction called The Hole in the Wall. She knows I have a thing for unusual local hang-outs and she guarantees […]

Coffee and All That Jazz

Last Wednesday, I found myself in downtown Toronto, too early for a dinner date.  At times like that, I normally would just kill time in a coffee shop and hope that they have a comfy chair for me to settle in.  This time around I remembered a cozy spot in Roncesvalles.  I found myself back […]

Early this year I went back to one of my happy places. I came back to Ryerson to meet up with my business partner Abe with the intent of planning for several EyeCandyTO things. It ended up to be a trip down memory lane. What is different this time is that there is an actual […]

Cresta Toronto- Permanently closed

March 25, 2016

Last week, I was invited to the media launch of Cresta Toronto.  An Italian restaurant right in the heart of the St. Lawrence neighbourhood, it was enough invitation for me.  I have always been in love with this address.  If I ever moved out of North York, this is potentially where you would find me. To […]
