NEWS | TIFF Promo at Luckee Restaurant offers a unique dim sum experience, including afternoon tea!

It's the very first day of TIFF 2014 and what better way to start off than to talk about some drool-worthy specials at some of our favourite restaurants? TIFF is Toronto's liveliest and the most star-studded event in the film industry so it's no wonder why chefs are bringing their best dishes forward.  Luckee is no exception and one of our most anticipated - we love Chef Susur Lee's take on TIFF with his own 'production' called - Spotlight Dimsum.



Luckee is residing inside the SoHo Metropolitan Hotel, conveniently located for TIFF-goers on Wellington and Blue Jays Way. Enjoy an elevated dim sum experience at any time of the day during TIFF from breakfast, lunch, dinner to afternoon tea and cocktail hour.

Read our previous review on Luckee's dimsum lunch service here.

 Prologue - Breakfast from 7AM to 11AM
Get your dim sum on bright and early as the perfect accompaniments to your tea or coffee. Cart service is also available.

Act One - 4-course Lunch from 11AM to 2PM
$35 per person 
Chef Lee highlights the best of dim sum in this 4-course lunch special. High recommended as this lunch will include Chef’s new Luckee Soba Salad – a spinoff of his famous slaw at Lee – made with 19 fresh ingredients, sure to tantalize your tastebuds.

Act Two - Afternoon Tea
Who said Afternoon Tea consists only of scones & petit fours? Enjoy
dim sum paired with specialty cocktails, champagne and other liberations, including cold sake on tap by Izumi between screenings.


Act Three - Dinner from 5:30PM to 10PM
The climax - for your senses - can be found at Luckee for Chef Lee's mouthwatering dinner service.  Indulge in his famous Xiao Long Bao (pork soup dumpling), Szechuan kung pao shrimp, Luckee Duck, and more!

 
Epilogue - Night Cap
Wine down with Luckee’s ‘cold tea’ –  a blend of calvados, chambord, lemon peel, beaus beer, served in a teapot just as you’d expect.




 So, there you have it! Make sure you pay a visit (or two) to Luckee for a special dim sum experience carefully crafted by Chef Susur Lee. Perhaps we'll run into you there for drink of Luckee's Cold Tea?

The 3-day Delicious Food Show, perfect for food lovers in Toronto is back for 2014.

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...

WORKSHOP | Sausage Making Class at The Healthy Butcher on Eglinton!

Recently named 'Best Butcher in Toronto' by Now Magazine, the Healthy Butcher   just may become your go-to butcher shop for organically & locally-sourced meats as well as sustainable seafood!  It's no surprise that The Healthy Butcher caters to those that 'live to eat' as they're passionate about food themselves. In fact, they're so serious, that they offer educational and fun workshops on roasting, knife skills, butchering and lots more... The hands-on workshops and classes are held on weekday evenings and range from $40 to $125 per person depending on the class.  With an intimate group, you'll be sure to learn a new set of skills at these 2.5 hr classes at The Healthy Butcher in the company of other food lovers.  When I first heard about their workshops, I thought it would be a perfect team-building exercise for co-workers but it would be great to take friends or family as it's a great time overall.
