FoodTruckEats with Ishy

October 31, 2011

2

With all the Food Truck Eats that I have attended this summer, my little sister Ishy have expectations that she and I would be able to get her into such an event during her visit to Toronto.  Such is a tall order during the fall.  Luck was with me as Yvonne from Bonfire Catering tipped […]

Annual Pumpkin Carving 2011

October 30, 2011

Hands down, fall is my most favorite of all the seasons.  There is so much to look forward to, my Algonquin Park Hike, the change of colors and the best of them all, my sister Ayen’s pumpkin carving party.  Every year for the last 9 years, my sister and I have invited friends and family […]

Thanksgiving 2011

It seems just a year ago that I dived into blogging.  Unsure what to do, I found my way around and got my first post up.  It was my first attempt to cook a turkey, Thanksgiving 2010.  A lot has happened since then.  Throughout the year, I have a lot of things that I am […]

Nuit Blanche 2011

Nuit Blanche, Toronto’s 6th annual sunset-to-sunrise art festival, is one of my most anticipated for the year.  It’s when art galleries and independent artists open their doors to the public and people can literally walk all over downtown Toronto and experience art in almost every corner.  Toronto is wide-awake the whole night, interacting and participating […]

My Unabashed Love for Garlic

October 1, 2011

I still feel a lot of remorse not being able to attend the First Annual Toronto Garlic Festival at Evergreen Brickworks last weekend.  I thought I’d be able to stretch myself to swing by after all the trekking I did in Algonquin the same weekend.  But I guess I’m not as nimble anymore as I […]

Diner En Blanc Toronto 2011

September 28, 2011

This past year has such an eye-opener to me of how little I knew Toronto before. Each new thing I discover, I am amazed I lived in Toronto all this time and never knew how many events happen on the underground. I happen to come across the event Diner En Blanc on Facebook by following […]

Sanremo Bakery

I came to know of this place from a former boss, Paul,  who always shows up to our group meetings with a box of goodies coming from Sanremo Bakery.  Each time a different treat, always such a pleasure to taste a cookie that doesn’t taste JUST sweet.  There is depth and layers of flavour and […]

Unwilling to go home after hanging out at 99 Sudbury Market, I suggested to my friend Valerie that we go find good coffee.  Being at Queen St. West/Dovercourt area, there’s little trouble locating one.  My friend immediately suggested we walk further to Trinity Bellwood’s Park to go to this new place she discovered.  She tells me […]

Dark Horse Espresso Bar at Queen St. West

August 27, 2011

0

What I love most about coffee shops in Toronto is that they seem hell-bent on keeping customers stay for forever and a day.  Very good coffee, free WiFi, comfortable chairs and wooden tables, cozy ambiance of exposed brick wall, an ornate tin ceiling feature and a wide big glass window, the Dark Horse Espresso Bar […]

99 Sudbury Market

What is true this year is that I have discovered a lot of hidden gems in Toronto. After all this time in Toronto, I haven’t really experienced Toronto as I have been now.  It is such a novelty to me, as if I were a tourist myself. This past weekend, another discovery I made is […]
