Seville Orange Jam

Back in April: Seville orange jam. It was the first time I’d tried to make it and I thought it turned out really well. Not too sweet, really bright and intense flavours with a slight bitter finish. Six oranges made… Continue Reading →

Weslodge Snacks

Meant for this to be a short photo-only post, but apparently, I had more to say. Went to Weslodge for dinner recently and had these very good sides and snacks. Wouldn’t hesitate to return for these guys and drinks.

So Very Grand

Might as well wrap up my Parkdale posts-in-limbo with Grand Electric. Chef Colin Tooke and Ian McGrenaghan’s place has been on fire since it opened with 2-hour waits. Reminiscent of Big Star in Chicago (these ex-Black Hoof kids went and did some recon… Continue Reading →

Chantecler

The most subtle and interesting twists of Asian-influenced dishes have come across the pass of this restaurant, presided by Chef Johnny Poon.

TUM Faves: ESÉ's Tomalitos

This sweet corn cake is both sweet and savoury. With dulce de leche drizzled on top and a kick of salt and butter, this was really nice. Soft, nice crumb, good corn taste. I also discovered that I used to… Continue Reading →

TUM Faves: Kwek Kwek

I’ve had these guys before, but Bistro Filipino’s kwek kwek – deep-fried quail eggs in anatto batter and a rice dipping sauce – were especially delicious this time around. Lightly crispy on the outside, delicious molten yolk inside. Wanted to get… Continue Reading →
