…how I’ve missed you. It’s been 24 days since last update. For shame! And trust me, no good excuse. I’ve been eating like a fiend. At some fantastically good places, too. With good friends. With new friends! So, the need to air my dirty laundry in public is a vow to myself and anyone who reads this…<hi [...]

Dazzling. On King. Yep, that’s the name of the restaurant. Slightly forgivable after eating the best spicy tuna maki in the city. Dare you to find better. A’s flavourful Panang curry – spicy & delicious. Panang noodles – unimaginatively ok. (see VK! can be a critic.) http://www.dazzlingrestaurant.com/ 291 King Street W. 416.506.8886

Every Tomi-Kro review will rave about the lobster maki balls. This one, won’t be any different. So unoriginal, I know. Visual caveat: these maki balls don’t do anything for me. Barely excited. And I like to get excited about my…… food. So, we get over the presentation. And focus on the different layers of fantastic. [...]
And we’re back.

Oh Italia!

There’s nothing like fresh pasta. Never before have I uttered this statement. Italian food and I were merely strangers. Now, acquaintances. And suddenly, I want to become its best friend. Tagliatelle, papardelle, fettuccine, gnudi…want to try it all. And I’ve been to Italy. Cue Rome, Milan & Florence. Mind is not conjuring up out-of-this-world pasta (what did we EAT?!)…memories [...]
foxley

One of my favourite restaurants in this city. Friends, family, strangers etc. may question why I constantly rave about this place, why I fixate on it more than others, why I sit back in semi-disbelief when they don’t love it as much as I do… but, there’s a reason. Actually, make that two. #1 arctic char ceviche, #2 black cod [...]
SukhoThai

Rave reviews put this little thai resto on our must-try list. So we went. Oh la. Spicy & flavourful…just the way we like it. Masaman curry was delicious. Fragrant & sweet, with a heat that lingered. High expectations for the red curry. Will always be that way after Mengrai. And…it was close. Stand-out dish: Gaeng [...]
