I had the opportunity to attend a local food tour hosted by the Old Strathcona Farmer’s Market (OSFM) recently! In this post, I’ll be sharing some pictures of the event in hopes to show how amazing these local vendors are.

Miss Saigon

December 4, 2017.Reading time 8 minutes.

Coming from a Vietnamese background, I don’t often review Vietnamese places.. mostly because I don’t think anything beats my mom’s homemade dishes and because I also acknowledge that our dishes can differ a lot – depending on whereabouts in Vietnam one comes from (north, south, central etc.) However, Miss Saigon offers something different and new, […]

Chickie Dough (closed)

August 8, 2017.Reading time 3 minutes.

I am a sucker for cookie dough and anything cookie dough flavoured! Luckily, there seems to be a bigger trend of edible cookie dough coming around…but even with all this edible cookie dough biz popping up, I have yet to find one that I’ve really loved.
