Press Button


Just some photos after dinner last Friday (^_^)



Full House Desserts


This is the place to be if you are a Durian fan, they are the only place in Toronto who serve Durian pudding and Durian pancakes. Yes, king of all fruits =D And I can say that they have one of the best Hong Kong Style pancake in Toronto, it's call pancake but it more like a crepe which is bright yellow in color... don't worry if you are not a fan of Durian, you can still try their mango version which is equally delicious (^v^)

After our pho dinner here, although we were so full we just couldn't resist to get one to go =P


 We had to wait for a few minutes when she went to the back and made this while most other places normally have it pre-made... it made a huge difference, it was super extra soft and moist.


Typical of Hong Kong style pancake, it's half fill with cream and the other half with fruits and it's Durian here. It's just so pillowy, creamy, mushy, stinky, heavenly goodness =D


Verdict :
Have been coming for years and will keep on coming back



Great Burger Kitchen


Bought a deal from Groupon back in May for Great Burger Kitchen at the Church St location and haven't had the opportunity to use it until September. Heard some good things about this locally source burger place and I was having rather high expectation =P

Foodstock ~ Stop the Mega Quarry !!!

Back on Oct 16, Michael Stadlander (Haisai) had spearheading a farm-based food protest called Foodstock and it's a pay-what-you-can culinary rally against a proposed limestone mega quarry on prime agricultural land. More than 80 members of the Canadian Chefs' Congress was enlisted to cook at the event, including celebrity chefs like Jamie Kennedy, Anthony Walsh (Canoe) and Brad Long, as well as chefs for various popular Restaurants such as Parts & Labour, Enoteca Sociale, Buca and now closed Sakura.











It was cold a windy day and I was sure glad that we got each of us a pair of rainboot since it was so muddy. This is definitely the best food event of the year, normally an event of this calibre would cost over $100 per person but it was pay-what-you-can (minimum of $10)



They highly recommend you to bring your own plate and cutlery to cut down on waste.
Look at this inventive method of serving soup =D It was so hot, dense, creamy and delicious that it warm you right up... what a great start.

Briscola

Went to Briscola back in September and loved it. I was trying to find a location for my Birthday dinner next month and I end up choosing Briscola since they have a big enough space, yet affordable menu for my guest. It's always such a hassle to get a reservation for a large crowd during the holiday seasons at a restaurant that you like, so this year I plan in advance. And that's why I'm writing this post, to give my friends an idea of what they are going to be eating on my Birthday (^v^)

♥ Love their decor ♥

Waving flags


I bet you must have guess where I was, it was outside Better Living Center... took these photos after visiting the Delicious Food Show (post coming up)


Williams Landing

Went to Williams Landing, one of the new restaurant that poped up in Liberty Village for a late lunch and it was a surprisingly summer weather day for the end of September in Toronto. It was actually hot sitting on their patio (^_^) This will be a pretty short post since we ordered only 2 dish since we only wanted a light lunch since we make reservation for an early dinner later on.





♥ the display of all the alcohol



This sort of reminded me of Joey from my previous post here, maybe because all roof top patio are sort of similar these days.Similar but not as pretty (oh did I mention, Joey have very pretty waitresses)


Don't really remember the name of this cocktail and they don't have it on their online menu.
I do remember how it taste thou, sour not sweet, strong alcohol flavor and with each sip cruch a bit of pink peppercorn with it and it was just perfect =P
