Orange Polka Dots

As some of you may know already, Ben aka my bf, aka my food partner, aka my photographer is off on a Business trip for 5 weeks (>_<) It's only been a few days and I miss him a lot already and during this time I decided to try to stay home so that my bank account could recuperate a bit from all the dinning out and frankly maybe loose a tiny bit of weight.... I'm starting to think a food and fashion blog shouldn't mix, I probably gain more weight than I should and the outfits are suffering :(

So this month, I'll try to post all the post that have been backlogged =P

I found this OOTD from last year that I've never posted... it's a very vintagy look, it's something that I imagine my mum would wear when she was younger (^_^)





Salt Wine Bar

I have pretty much tried most of the restaurant on this part of Ossington and Salt Wine Bar (@saltwinebar) just sort of completed the list... I`ll have to say I regretted of not having came earlier since it`s now on my list of favorite place to eat. The place was really pack, so make sure you make reservation.

Love how the walls are line with wines, perfect together with the simple tables and Chair... with the lighting, I felt like in a basement wine cellar :)

 Bacon Ceasar $8

~ Canadian Club, a touch of red wine, house made spicy, smoked tomato-bacon juice, bacon salt rim, celery, lemon and maple bacon garnish

 I was in love ♥ thanks to the tallented Jen (@whisky_jameson) who is behing the bar at Salt Wine Bar. I just can't decide which one I like better the one from Barque here or this one (^_^)?

I guess the bacon flavor here is more subtle (in a good way) but spicier and stronger alcohol

♥ both of them

 I just love tapas style restaurent where you share dishes, cause then I can try more in one night =P

We had a pretty late lunch, so this time the 2 of us didn't order as much as we are normally use to.

Fluke Ceviche

+ jicama, red chili, cucumber, basil, coriander and mint

The fluke was cut paper thin, it was so fresh and refreshing perfect with the pop of flavor from the chili and yet cool down by the cucumber, basil, coriander and mint at the same time.

Little Nicky's Coffee

I can't believe I have never been to Little Nicky's Coffee until now since I'm in the area all the time and especially having heard so much about their mini donut

It was fairy packed when we got there on a Saturday afternnon and we barely manage to grab the last table.

Latte & Oatmeal Cookie

Cortado



Americanno 

And tada, the star of the day : Freshly made Mini Donuts

It was just delicious tossed with powdered sugar and cinnamon. perfect with a cup of coffee (^_^)

Bite size, crispy outside and fluffy inside... what else could you ask for?!?

It was made right in front of your eyes, just the cuttest machine ever and oh someone was camera shy ;)

By the time we leave, the place got pretty empty pretty quick





Verdict :

Off Queen Street, this is just the perfect place for a coffee break after some intense shopping =P

And will just go back for the fresh yummy cute donuts



L'Ouvrier

We originally Intended to head to Porchetta & Co but totally forgot that they are close on Sunday until we reach there (>_<) So we decided to head up the street for L'Ouvrier since I have been meaning to try it anyway (^_^)

It was packed when we arrive and 

we just happen to get a table by the front at the only "fushia/red" table (^_^)

Is it just me or is everywhere using these Bourbon bottle to serve water?!!

Mini or Maxi ?!?

Can't decide between a mini and maxi? 

How about both (^_^)

I find the longer back for flowy and light dress like this are perfect for slightly windy days, it'll definitely not blow up as easily =P

Dress - F21; Jacket - Romwe; Shoes - Lulu Edelman from Shoe Sales; Bag - Danier;

The County General

 Finally made my way to The County General for Brunch, previously Oddfellows location. I have heard so much about their Chicken Sandwich and also their Croque Madame which is voted Best Breakfast Sandwich by Toronto Life.

Love how they got rid of the long communal table from Oddfellow days, it just open up the space instantly with the tables push to one side and the long bar at the back... the long strips of wood on the ceiling and behing the bar just lengthen the place visually (^_^)

 

Love the tea towel as napkin together with the rooster plate

Spiked Hot Apple Cider & Muskoka Double chocolate Stout

Neon + Tribal

Neon & Tribal Prints are 2 of the big trend this Spring & Summer,

Remember the same skirt back here a year ago, just added the neon jacket and a pile of bracelets to update it (^_^)
