EVENT | Twilight Tuesdays by Drake One Fifty & Momofuku featuring gourmet street food & drinks, summertime treats & music!

This summer has been quite the eventful one for the Toronto food scene and here's another one to put on your radar! In fact, it's a weekly event created by Drake One Fifty & Momofuku to provide gourmet street food, thirst quenching drinks, delightful treats by local vendors and music by Canadian artists - all in the little parkette, located behind the Drake One Fifty.



Every week, the hosts, Drake One Fifty & Momofuku will cook up something delicious for the hungry diners but on alternating weeks, their Financial District neighbours, The Gabardine and Richmond Station will join them.  This week, it was The Gabardine. For fans of any of the four restaurants or even if you haven't visited any, it's a great chance to grab a quick bite or see what kind of food they offer!

This week was also the first ever of the Twilight Tuesdays series and a busy one at that! I got there just after 6PM and the lineup to buy food/drink tickets was forming fast along York St.

Tickets are $5 each and it gets you one food dish or a drink. 

The Gabardine: Fried Chicken with watermelon & green tomato salad

Just look at that pork crackling!

Drake One Fifty: Roast Pork Sandwich with pickles

Drake One Fifty: Beef Skewers

Momofuku: Bossam - pork belly with rice, kimchi puree & ginger scallion sauce in a bib lettuce wrap

  
Great vibe at Twilight Tuesdays with local musician & vendors!

Augie's Ice Pops: Vietnamese Coffee & Grapefruit Ginger Ice Pops


Don't miss out on this great after work mini night market in the heart of Toronto's financial district! Did I mention that as a community event, all proceeds from food sales will be donated to the 'Out Of The Cold' program at St. Andrew's Church?

Every Tuesdays from 5 - 9PM. Be there, or be square.

RECIPE | Alokozay Tea - Cinnamon tea infused panna cotta

Matcha tea has been a long time favourite when making any type of dessert and now more recently, it's expanded to other teas such as Chai or Early Grey. We decided to try making a panna cotta using cinnamon tea from  Alokozay Tea.    If you're looking to buy it in a store, try the international food section in Metro, Bulk Barn, Food Basics, or Adonis. If all else fails, do what we did and order it directly from their website. The website is extremely easy to navigate and you can get free shipping if you spend $39 or more.  Customer service was amazing and replied to my emails within the same day! Click here to buy the tea online.  Panna Cotta is a pretty straight forward dessert to make but it never fails to impress at dinner parties where you can serve them in individual ramekins. Ingredients - 2 Alokozay cinnamon tea bags - 3/4 cup half and half cream -1/2 cup 2% milk - 2 tbsp sugar - 1 tsp gelatin -fruits of your choice  Method: 1. Mix the gelatin with ...

REVIEW | Patois - Get a little taste of everything on the menu with The Whole Shebang!

I'm down to try any restaurant that allows you to order the entire menu and Patois' Jamaican Chinese fusion menu definitely sealed the deal. It's certainly nice to have a restaurant that's open on a Monday and takes reservation in the Dundas St. West neighbourhood. Being able to make reservations makes life a whole lot easier even though the restaurant wasn't packed on a Monday night at 6 pm. Their reservation system even emails you to remind you of your upcoming reservation but we had no problems remembering as Patois has been on our hit list for quite some time now.  There is an assortment of drinks and cocktails to choose from but I went with the classic Ting to bring me back to the feeling of being away on an island somewhere much hotter than Toronto. As advertised, you can order "The Whole Shebang" for $99.99, which includes the entire menu (half orders of the O.G Fried Chicken and Juicy Jerk Chicken)! I would definitely recommend getting The Whole...

REVIEW | Light Cafe

We find Baldwin Village to be a street in Toronto that is ever growing. You'll never know what to expect in terms of businesses that will pop up! Not to mention it's diverse food culture including gelato, ramen, Italian, Filipino food and so much more. It doesn't surprise us at all that Light Cafe decided to take residence on Baldwin.  I have traveled quite extensively through Asia and can say with confidence that Light Cafe looks exactly like a cafe you would find in Taiwan. Not only is it spacious inside, I love the minimalist decor inside which provides a calming atmosphere. I could see myself sitting at the cafe for hours (within reason haha) and getting some work done.  The first thing that we noticed and I'm sure many of you will as well - is the living wall. I don't think I've ever been to a restaurant where there was a living wall but I've always wanted one of my own. With the natural sunlight coming in with the wall, it's the perfect place to f...
