It was a Monday night around 7:30 pm.  My friend and I somehow got a seat at La Bettola di Terroni.  This was nice considering that they 1) don't take reservations; and 2) my experiences with Terroni: it's always busy.

The service was great.  Our…More »

Dear Terroni:
You make delicious food.
Sincerely, Joanne

We were here for my friend's farewell that evening -- we had booked a table for 25 (yes! we got reservations) -- at 9 PM.  The great thing is this: no set menu required.

I went with my friend quite early and on a freezing cold Monday, so it might explain for the lack of people in the restaurant.  However, my friend and I had a great time.  Service was great - our waitress was very friendly to us the whole time.  My…More »

Another addition to the Mercatto family now located at Eaton Centre!  My friend and I came here on a Monday evening.  Service was fairly fast.  Nothing too different from the other Mercattos.  However, I was a little bit confused by the pre-packaged…More »

I can sincerely eat brunch all the time.

OMNOMNOMs in Seattle! (19)

I finally went to Seattle, and I ate my little heart out.

OMNOMNOM korean cuisine (14)

Absolutely love Korean food.  Methinks I'm going to move there one day just to eat their food.

OMNOMNOM dumplings (5)

I like dumplings.

OMNOMNOM thai + viet cuisine (10)

I know thai and viet cuisine are very separate from one another - but for some reason they are usually grouped together.  Here are my picks in (from best to worst) in the GTA!

OMNOMNOM malaysian cuisine (4)

They need to have more Malaysian restaurants in Toronto.  Just sayin'.

OMNOMNOMs in North York! (22)

I'm from North York.  I eat a lot in this area.  Here are some restaurants for those who are venturing in my 'hood!

OMNOMNOMs in Baldwin Village (8)

Inspired by Dishan's Baldwin Village list (http://www.yelp.ca/lis...) - here is my list of the awesome (and not-so-awesome) restaurants that I venture to often on Baldwin Street!

OMNOMNOM ramen (7)

Toronto doesn't seem to have much of a Japanese culture - especially on ramen.  This may be due to the stigma of instant ramen noodles.  Despite all that, I still enjoy my ramen.  Here are some ramen houses that I found in Toronto (including the not-so-great-ones).
