REVIEW | King Street Social at Hyatt on King

Winterlicious is back for 2015! We're still unsure of where we'll be dining (need to make reservations ASAP) but after the menu tasting at King Street Social, a restaurant inside the Hyatt on King Street, we strongly encourage you guys to check them out for this year.

Pan Roasted Ricotta and Baby Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast 

Just last night, we were invited to get a special preview of their Winterlicious as well as their Valentine's menu - of course we didn't hesitate to go!

This was my first time dining at the Hyatt on King Street's restaurant, the King Street Social. Chef Wesley Boodhram explained that his team came up with the Asian-themed menu this year as they're all fans of fusion dishes and street food. We definitely saw a lot of those elements in all the dishes in terms of flavours and ingredients. 

Tofu and Vegetable Steamed Wonton Soup
served with a lemongrass & tamarind gremolata, tamarind & soy miso


Red Oak and Aged Ontario’s Goat Cheese
with roasted pecans, grape tomatoes, soft herbs & sweet mirin vinaigrette


Grilled Chicken Satay
with a fresh pineapple/apple slaw & a bambu kacang sauce


King Street Beef Lo Mein
Yakisoba noodles, local tenderloin beef, snow peas, lotus root, soft herbs, fungi, mango & jicama relish



40 Day Aged Rib Eye Steak and Teriyaki Prawns
Fire charred five spiced marinated beef, ginger scented glass noodles & lotus chips tempura

Poached Haddock and Wasabi Emulsion
served with red jasmine, toasted almonds & pan fried kale


Grilled Beef Tenderloin and Butter Poached Jumbo Prawn
with cauliflower mash, heirloom carrots, horseradish reduction


Portabella Mushroom En Croute
served with a fragrant Champagne sauce and grilled heirloom tomatoes


Homemade Tofu and Black Bean
Stir fried tofu and black bean with ginger, snow peas, shitake & udon noodles


Passion Fruit Creme Brulee 


Lemon and Raspberry Tart
with fresh berries

Warm Bread Pudding with a lychee creme 

The highlights of the evening for me were the King Street Beef Lo Mein and the Chicken Satay with mango salad. These dishes were not something out of ordinary - they're menu items that's been around but the flavours were not quite what I expected, so it was a pleasant surprise for my tastebuds!

Whether you visit the Hyatt on King for Winterlicious or for a romantic night with your significant other on Valentine's weekend, you'll be enticed with some Asian fushion menu by Chef Wesley and his team.

The King Street Social is offering both lunch ($23.00) & dinner ($35.00) service for Winterlicious.

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...
