RECIPE | Summer Fresh Roasted Garlic Hummus Sesame Noodles & WIN our GIVEAWAY!

We told you about our love for SummerFresh's wide range of hummus when we made a visit to their headquarters last year. This time around, though our post is to show you how hummus can be used in a super quick and easy recipe that isn't necessarily using hummus in the typical form of dips and spreads. Instead, I decided to use the hummus as a sauce to one of my all time favourite sesame noodle recipe! Introducing Monica's Roasted Garlic Hummus Sesame Noodles! We also have a giveaway for Summerfresh products too.

Roasted Garlic has to be my favourite hummus amongst the other delicious flavours just because I'm a huge fan of it - yes it gives me garlic breath but... come on... let me live a little ;)

Here's a super easy recipe that literally took me less than 30 minutes from start to finish. It's a light and delicious meal idea that is still foodporn worthy as well as being drool worthy.

Ingredients:
3/4 cup of Summer Fresh roasted garlic hummus (I used 3 packets from the 4 pack)
1/4 cup of chicken or vegetable stock
2 tablespoon of rice vinegar
2 tablespoon for soy sauce
1 tablespoon of sesame oil
spaghettini or angel hair pasta
1/2 cup of sesame seeds, toasted
4 little bundles of scallion, chopped
a handful of sliced shitake mushrooms (or any other mushroom)

1. Boil water and cook the spaghettini for about 5 minutes. Don't overcook it as it's a cold dish, al dente will work the best. Once cooked, drain and leave on the side.

2. As the pasta is cooking, add the chicken stock, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil & hummus into a large bowl and mix well together.

2. Once the sauce is ready, add the pasta into the bowl and mix well.
Leave for 10 minutes to cool.

3. Last step already, add the sesame seeds, scallions and mushroom with the noodles on a serving plate. And, there you have it! Bon Appetit!

Easy, right?

GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.

REVIEW | Yasu

Just over a year ago, Yasu Sushi Bar opened in Harbord Village, sending a buzz around Toronto about the newest spot for the best nigiri. We, of course were intrigued and couldn't wait to try it - what took us so long, right? Finally, we made reservations and experience the sushi-only omakase at Yasu, first hand. Omakase translates to a meal, comprised of Chef's selections. Yasu offers an 18-course Chef-selected nigiri meal with a dessert at the end. The restaurant takes 2 seatings on weeknights from 6PM and another at 8:30PM. On weekends, there are 3 seatings at 5PM, 7:15PM and 9:30PM. And yes, a reservation is required to dine at Yasu. As this is an Omakase-style meal, so naturally, the space is limited. At Yasu, that means 13 diners at the bar and 2 on a table by the window at one seating time. I personally suggest sitting by the bar to watch all the sushi-magic happen and be the first to get the pieces. I noticed that the plates being sent to the table were a...

OPENING | Montreal's popular PoutineVille opens in Toronto's Annex neighbourhood

The arrival of Poutineville to the Annex means that we can finally have all you can eat poutine and a heart attack - just kidding! We don't mean a real heart attack but Poutineville's infamous 15 lb. poutine called 'The Heart Attack." Co-owners Kosta Kariotakis and Camillo Fresco's vision of selling the best poutines which originated in Montreal has quickly grown to locations in Quebec City and Toronto as well. What makes this poutine joint stand out from the rest is definitely the variety on the menu, an option to customize your very own poutine, all you can eat poutine and the largest poutine you'll find in Toronto! Our evening began with delicious drinks made by Mixologist Nishan Nepulangoda . If you don't think poutine and cocktails mix, think again because upscale interior doesn't make you think you're in a poutine restaurant at all! Their Toronto location has a full service-bar, lounge area, banquettes and even a cozy patio ensuring y...

REVIEW | Marben Restaurant on Wellington for dinner with some foodies from Zomato Toronto

Marben Restaurant has always been on my list but for some reason, I have yet to try - so when Zomato's foodie dinner was at this restaurant, I was beyond excited. Marben is well known for its farm-to-table menu that is constantly evolving, and mostly catering to the after work crowd in the King West neighbourhood. Once home to Top Chef Carl Heinrich, this locally driven restaurant has been led by Executive Chef, Rob Bragagnolo . He grew up in a family of chefs, spending his summers in Italy working at family owned restaurants and pastry factory until he moved to Spain to professionally enhance his skills and techniques. There, he worked at Michelin-stared restaurants before heading to Toronto, Canada, the city he grew up in. His previous years in Spain & Italy is evident in the current menu, which reflects Spanish & Northern Italy flavours and style. The space inside and outside (including a street-side patio) are both beautiful, with wooden benches, exposed brick, mustard...
