Food & Health, Food Information, Restaurant ReviewsBy JuliaSeptember 11, 2013

To put it simply, my family and I are food truck obsessed. So when two food truck events were happening in one weekend, of course we were there for both of them.

Food & Health, Restaurant ReviewsBy Lauren MorrisAugust 27, 20133 Comments

Those who know me will know that my favourite summer drink is not a slurpee or slushie of any kind. Rather, my all time to die for favourite is bubble tea, or boba, a Taiwanese tea-based drink which is commonly made using black or green tea, milk, and either fresh fruit or powder for flavour.…

Food & Health, Food Information, Restaurant ReviewsBy WentaoAugust 23, 2013

Subs N’ Bubbles under the sun…. well, cross out the bubble part. As I mentioned in my Sunfest post, I’m going to be chronicling how I ended up eating a Bulgogi (in this context, Korean marinated pork) Vietnamese submarine sandwich despite already had a snack at the volunteer headquarters… nah, that’s wasn’t what I said.

Zest up your summer with lemon macaroons

Food & Health, Food Information, RecipesBy Lauren MorrisAugust 20, 20132 Comments

Being a complete coconut fanatic, I have always had a soft spot for coconut cookies, and when it comes to this fruit the macaroon is its cookie king.

Food & Health, Food Information, Restaurant ReviewsBy JuliaAugust 15, 2013

In the day of commercialized and therefore often chemically-infused products, food often falls subject to less than superior standards. Tragically, ice cream is one of the victims.
