GIVEAWAY | Share your Menchies Creation to Win a VIP Pass (7 free Menchies Cups)

Can you believe that we've stepped into August, nearing the end of summer? We're obviously hoping that the hot weather will continue until at least October (please, please, please). In the meantime, Clara and I have been indulging in ice cream, popsicles, frozen yogurt, parfaits - you name it - to keep cool. From those, froyo is definitely the most fun to make, especially the ability to make your own creation with a variety of toppings & sauces.

With that being said, we're hosting a giveaway for our good friends at Menchie's, where you guys can win a summer VIP pass!

There hasn't been a better time to go grab yourself a Menchie's cup. With their new Oreo Cookie Yogurt flavour, you'll want to go for more than just one. I topped off my yogurt with my usual favourites: Oreo cookie crumbs, mochi, and almonds. BUT with my VIP pass, I topped it off with a treat - a nanaimo bar! You too can win a VIP Pass to Menchie's this summer and #TreatYoSelf at every visit.

The Menchie's VIP Pass gets you:
- 7 free cups of yogurt in total
- 1 free cup of yogurt (up to $8.00) each visit

Use until September 30, 2015 in any one of Menchie's Canada locations!

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...
