Touhenboku Ramen

December 7, 2013

Sometimes there are those days wherein you have a dire need to rant and it is always good that I have a good friend who I know who would listen. Wednesday was such a day. Both my friend Jojo and I have things to unload of stresses from work and from our day-to-day. We were […]

Earl’s Kitchen and Bar

December 7, 2013

A few weeks ago my friend Valerie invited me to watch the movie Gravity. Because it was said to be best viewed in a 3D facility, we drove all the way out to Vaughn to Colosseum to see it. Maybe I anticipated the traffic too much and we were there way too early. Looking around […]

The Pie Commission

I found myself on the south-western part of Etobicoke a few weeks ago as I searched for unique Christmas gifts. I tend to go far and wide when I want to find quirky and unique gifts for family and friends. Shopping tends to build up my appetite and I must admit I am not too […]

Carmen – Permanently closed

November 14, 2013

With me running around, trying to set up things for my upcoming exhibition, Catalonia Castellers, I have pangs of homesickness for Barcelona now and then.  There are a lot of things I love about Barcelona and of course that includes its food.  Last Wednesday was one day where the craving was bad.  Lately, there have […]

High Street Fish & Chips

The last few weeks have been really hectic for me.  Finally the last bit on my to-do list was done and I found myself close by High Street Fish & Chips.  I have read about them before and wanted to try them out.  The first time I came there, I got lost and the second […]

Lady Marmalade

As most Sunday mornings go, the idea of a brunch would surely get you up from slumber. If that is your plan this weekend, I recommend that you swing by Lady Marmalade. One should be prudent to be there early though as it is popular. Not even 10am last Sunday morning, there was already a […]

Hudson Kitchen

Update: Hudson Kitchen has closed :( —- I have known Chef Robbie Hojilla for a while now. I have followed his food around now for a few years and what striked me most was his attention to detail and how he talked about his food. Articulate in his descriptions, I always enjoyed devouring the food […]

On the Road for Antiques

October 11, 2013

Since Thanksgiving weekend is the last long weekend before the chill sets in, I would want to share what I have been busy about for the past few months. I have been bitten by the antiquing bug lately and have been doing short trips away from Toronto to find gems of the past. I justify […]

The Power of 2 – Toronto vs. Vancouver

October 8, 2013

All through my school life, I went through countless charity drives as I attended a school ran by Catholic nuns. It was second nature to me then to collect and raise donations for a cause. When we celebrate traditional big occasions, we are often reminded of the people who are not as fortunate. I often […]

#FoodivalTO

October 2, 2013

Food events and entertainment always go hand in hand. To have that distraction as one indulges in good eats was always a good idea.  Now when the food event is carnival-themed like FoodivalTO , I still am very much a captured audience. Decades of watching buskers, I am still much in awe of the courage […]
