Kim’s a la Cart at Yonge and Finch

April 11, 2012

0

One of my foodie guilty pleasures just happens to be just around the corner where I live.  For about two years or so now,  right by Yonge and Finch stood a food cart, Kim’s à la cart.  Quite popular with the pedestrians that passes by them, this little nook sells a variety of Korean street […]

Pasta Perfection – Permanently closed

March 31, 2012

6

We all have those days that where the clock seems to move so slow and things piled up and drove us up to exhaustion.  Thursday was that kind of day for me.  Half-way through the day, I was ready to go home and finish the day.  All that was wishful thinking as there were several […]

Khao San Road and 86’d Mondays Bread and Butter Battle

March 20, 2012

Khao San Road piqued my interest for a while now.  For a several weeks now, it has been consistently been on Urbanspoon’s Talk of the Town Top 10.  This week I finally made it to this very popular Thai restaurant with my friend and food stylist, Abe Wornovitzky. He once told me about this place […]

Town Crier Pub

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 […]

The Bier Market

February 25, 2012

0

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 […]

Arabesque

Thursday was a day that reminded me I was in Canada.  Finally the snow storm came and it blew hard.  That day I was going to meet two friends to cook up a whirlwind of business schemes and I started questioning the idea of meeting at Dufferin farmers market located downtown by Bloor and Dufferin.  […]

Brew Year’s Day at The Stop’s Green Barn

January 16, 2012

January finally felt like January (finally!) with the frigid cold air greeting my face as I stepped out in the open.  Looking from the inside, it seems comfortable and toasty-warm sunny.  But this cold doesn’t stop me from my resolve.  This year is the year I seek out what Canadian foodies do in the winter.  […]

Bibingka and Tita Flips

December 4, 2011

One of the things I was lucky to have when I was in Manila was bibingka.  This sweet-savory treat most commonly appears only during the Christmas season, signalling the start of Misa de Gallo.  It’s Filipino tradition to rise up and early for mass that starts at 4:30am for nine days before Christmas.  As a […]

Murray’s Sandwich Emporium

December 3, 2011

0

It’s rather rare that I rave about a sandwich.  Two of my closest friends go absolutely nuts on the sight of good bread and I find it amusing.  This is because I have grown up at a place where rice is king.  So for me to blog about how absolutely amazing a sandwich is really […]

Finally! Exhibits at the Gladstone Hotel Art Bar by Me!

November 4, 2011

2

It was a long thing coming, me finally being ready to showcase my work.  Truthfully speaking if it was not that an exhibit were the penultimate result of my internship at the Gladstone Hotel, I wouldn’t have gotten myself ready.  What surprises me though, is that in that amount of time, I was able to […]
