SUKHOTHAI: Tucked away on not-so-charmingly Parliament E. Deliberately unassuming. KHAO SAN ROAD: Prominently located for all to stumble upon on Adelaide W. Vibrantly welcoming. Both owned by husband wife duo Jeff & Chef Nuit Regular. Menus are 90% similar. And the common thread, despite vast differences in locale, decor & ambiance, is the food. Simply phenomenal. Ask anyone who [...]

Today was a good day. And today, also consisted of two slices of pizza, two cheeseburgers & fries. Wow. Slightly embarrassed. Balancing act flew out the window, didn’t it? Daily scoffs at M & K may need to cease for a while. In hindsight, not so brilliant. At the time, quite… like this one: After a fantastically good client [...]

8 days of great anticipation. Not gonna lie, may have had a mini countdown. Too much build-up? Nah. Why would you want to suppress the excitement? Keeps it fun ;) Get ready, this post has perma-smile written all over it. 8 ladies. 8 little black dresses. Lovely bride-to-be. Private room. Intimate setting. Dark wood panelling, blonde [...]

Our first experience sans photos. Our second experience avec photos. This wknd, a girlfriend asked if we enjoyed Ruby Watchco just as much the 2nd time round, and I belatedly realized with some chagrin that I had never posted our fabulous dinner from July. Blasphemy! Let’s fix that, shall we? So, we were celebrating sweet A‘s [...]
O&B Canteen

Simple menu. Local ingredients. Attention to detail. Casual charm. Canteen. O&B’s newest restaurant with a home in the TIFF Bell Lightbox…yep, just in time for film fest. Defying the notion that simple fare can’t be done well, Canteen’s menu is centered around familiar, comfort foods. Pasta (gnocchi, tagliatelle), pizza (calabrese, al parma), pressed sandwiches (chicken BLT, [...]
Ruby Watchco

I had beyond high expectations. My own silly fault… waited months to try. So, the anticipation builds and builds…and when the eve finally arrived, giddy as a schoolgirl. Thankfully, I was in good company. Me & my three best ladies. All giddy together. Cute, I know. Go ahead, gag a little. While you’re doing that, [...]
Origin

I get excited, really excited, about trying new restaurants. You all know I do ;) And Origin topped my excitement list. Heads up, this is a raving post. Comfort zone. Scathing…not so much. I have a long-standing affair with tapas-style restaurants. Reminds me of Spain. A lot of people, however, are on the fence…dishes are too [...]
