Rolled Ice Cream – a Sweet Treat!

So apparently this is a popular street food in Thailand – where fixins are cut up and cream is super-cooled in front of you to make for sheets of ice cream. These sheets are then “rolled up” and topped with…mmm more cream. Yum. I really enjoyed Sweet Tooth and appreciate seeing new businesses in Chinatown…

Edgemont City

Edgemont City – is an authentic staple for Chinese cuisine in the NW suburbs. Based on observation alone – this restaurant is packed EVERY night of the week (with predominantly Asian folken), is popular for banquets (10 course traditional meals) and has plenty of regulars! CRAVING GREENS??? We ordered a HEAPING plate of the “dummgoo…

Village Ice Cream – Dessert Delish!

Monday, February 25, 2013 Wow talk about comfort food! I can’t say I’ve tried creamier ice cream elsewhere. Yes I agree, $5 for a single scoop sounds expensive, but for ice cream this rich, it’s an easily justified indulgence. I love the unconventional flavours like cardamom! I have a weakness for toasted coconut (which likely…

Sakana Grill – New Year, New Service!

Sunday, February 3, 2013 After a stressful work week my nerosis tend to emerge. But last week, Sakana Grill & it’s staff managed to put each of these at ease.Paranoia:Upon reading previous reviews, I admit to being a bit weary to book here for a business lunch, but Sakana Grill was accomodating. I reserved in…

Safe Sapore

Saturday, January 7, 2012 Entertained a group of coworkers (8) with appetizers: Vodka Smoked Salmon (delicious!), Grilled Calamari (terrible!), and Crostini di Burrata (also delicious). Bread was also provided, but I prefer when it is served warm. This restaurant offers three different gnocchi on its menu! I unfortunately chose the blander of the three (Gnocchi…

Our Thai, Muay Thai?

They accommodated myself and a coworker in the middle of the afternoon (3pm on a Thursday) in Vaughan. The restaurant is large and has a great & creative interior considering when you look a bit more closely it appears to be a converted warehouse! We chose to be a bit adventurous and attempted the papaya…

Turtle Jack’s – WINGS = Food Baby!

Being from out West I was a little hesitant agreeing to lunch at a restaurant with the name “Turtle Jack’s” but was pleasantly surprised by the comfortable, casual, cottage-like atmosphere. My co-workers recommended the wings here, and OMG were they delicious…but complicated…the experience was comparable to ordering a starbucks coffee, except with options like large,…

Bacio by Carla Pellegrino – Oh Oh Italiano!

Thursday, October 27, 2011 Right before vacationing in Vegas, we managed to catch the flu, leaving us lethargic, lazy and mostly out of commission for the duration of our trip.. As a result we chose to quarantine ourselves to our hotel room in the Trop….Saturday night we worked up the will to dress up and…

John’s Breakfast & Lunch – Breakfast Blues :(

It was a sunny Sunday morning and my Urbanspoon app pointed me in the direction of John’s as we were looking for a quick breakfast in the NW. We arrived and were fortunate to get patio seating right away….or so we thought. We quickly ordered, the menu items are all very reasonably priced, with the…
