The desire for a visit to Montreal began in 2013 when I first heard of duck served from a can at Au Pied Du Cochon. The next big ping was discovering the selection of Dieu Du Ciel on tap at (now closed) BarVolo. Arthur surprised me with Montreal as our 1-year trip (the previous…

Delicious Brown Rice Mushroom Pilaf
There are very many types of rice: long, medium and short, each can be used in many different ways, from a savoury pilaf, to a creamy risotto, to a dessert rice pudding!
This week, I had the opportunity to go a different route with rice. I’m very familiar with the good ol’ medium grain white rice, I’ve eaten a bowl for a day for at least 3/4 of my life. My choice between white or brown rice? White, please! I’ve never cooked brown rice for myself and can’t count more than 5 times that I’ve voluntarily eaten it. It may be because of the difference in look, texture and taste, but with a quick search, there’s nothing lose, but all to gain with brown rice!
Down at Piggy’s for Authentic Korean BBQ
I love it all about Korean BBQ: sharing platters of foods, the endless sides of pickled radish and the after-eating smokey stench in my clothes. I haven’t been such a fan of Korean BBQ until I tried Little Piggy’s in Koreatown, but I’ve witnessed an even more grand experience at the Piggy’s Thornhill…
All New Seasonal Cocktails at East Thirty-Six, Toronto
East Thirty-Six brings upon all good memories for me. An intimate 1920’s styled space with well-made craft cocktails and savoury shareable plates that hit the spot. Everything is intricately thought out, from the tinctures of the cocktails to the daily-made pickled offerings. With the current Fall and approaching Winter, East Thirty-Six has made…
Jalapeño Mac & Cheese Latkes
Although box mac & cheese is such an inexpensive pantry item, it seems like such a luxurious snack to me. Mainly because the first time I had one of these was three years ago during the period of my low-carb days. I would only have one wheat meal a week or a fortnight…
Light Cafe, Baldwin Village
Baldwin Village is one of the top locations I would recommend a visit to in Toronto. Wandering in from Dundas Square to Baldwin and McCaul, it’s a whole new light (☺). The diversity along this strip is unreal. From Japanese, Mexican to the best Asian fused Gelato in the city, you could plan out worldwide meals in one visit.
Toronto | Jinya Ramen Bar
Coming in from the states, Jinya has landed in Toronto as the newest Ramen bar addition. With juicy kaarage chicken and sake overpours, I’m welcoming Jinya with open arms! Everything is made in-house from scratch. You’ll be slurping quality from the broth to the toppings. I made my visit on an evening hosted by…
Our #FirstSip at Bandit Brewery, Roncesvalles
Here’s one upcoming microbrewery to look out for: Bandit Brewery in Roncesvalles Village. Introduced by Stephane and Shezad, Bandit Brewery has international beer loving with one part of the duo favouring the darker of beers, and the other half enjoying the crisper. So, you would only assume that the best of both worlds will…
