Winterlicious 2011 – Bangkok Garden

Better late than never, it’s been a busy week! For my last Winterlicious adventure I went to what I’ve heard is a Toronto staple in Thai dining and has been around for almost 30 years – Bangkok Garden on Elm Street. I had first heard about this place when I was booking a spa day…

Winterlicious 2011 – Toula

Its Friday Night, a long day of work is behind me and all I can look forward to is the second Winterlicious dinner I have planned with some of my favorite ladies of all time! Off we were to Toula Restaurant located on the 38th floor of the Westin Harbour Castle hotel. This is probably one of…

Winterlicious 2011 – 93 Harbord

Winterlicious is here!!! Every time I get the email letting me know that one of the ‘licious events is on its way I get nothing but excited to try new restaurants and indulge in some delicious food! This year I have three dinners booked and you never know if there will be any last minute…

Winterlicious is here!

Its that time of year again where new restos and old favourites open their doors for the city to experience everything they have to offer out of their kitchen at sometimes reasonable fixed price. Winterlicious is upon us yet again which means alot of eating out and more food adventures to embark on. This year…

Origin – CLOSED

I always keep my promises and so here’s a long awaited post! I’m ashamed to say that this place has been on my list of places to go for months and from reading review after glowing review of the food, the anticipation was only building. On a blustery and cold winter night I finally found…

Cheers to 2011!

It’s been a long time since my last blog entry and I wish I had a better reason for being missing in action but unfortunately it seems as though I had fallen into my own trap. The trap that first inspired me to take this adventure. The ever familiar trap of comfortable repetitiveness. The same…

Utopia

I’m a big believer in meals and food being enjoyed and savored and investing the time to really sit down and enjoy the pleasures that food brings us. Unfortunately being in the corporate world of 9-5 doesn’t always allow for that luxury and instead one must opt for the quick fix or the brown bag…

Enoteca Sociale

Sometimes there’s nothing better than enjoying the simplicity of a meal and reveling in the flavors and textures without being distracted by overbearing music and over the top décor. The creators of the ever popular Pizzeria Liberetto have designed a dining spot which stays true to the cuisine Roma and Nonna made famous without straying…

Wabora – CLOSED

Let me preface this post by saying that I’m not a sushi connoisseur by any means. In fact I’m probably more than likely to opt for the commercial places versus the authentic ones. Some of the fancy rolls are just so pretty you feel bad eating them! Welllll okay not really, I never feel bad…

CNE

Although the underlying meaning of the CNE opening in Toronto is that summer is over, you really can’t resist the kitschy carnival rides, overbearing game stalls and the smell of over buttered stale popcorn and sweet funnel cake. Although as a commuter I am NOT a fan of the traffic on the lakeshore – 2…
