On the same Sunday when I went to Shogun Teppanyaki Grill, I also went and ordered poutine from the Family Fry Guy when 4 food trucks went to Otafest this year. Cheese curds…..mmm…… Being the mascot of the food truck, the specialty is of course on everything fries! I ordered poutine with their option of melty…
“Butter chicken” pizza….. As I was volunteering at the World Partnership Walk, there it was, the food truck I had missed at Otafest! I knew that Avatara Pizza‘s food truck was coming as @WPWCalgary had told me about the food selection, but I didn’t expect the lineups that accompanied it; but then lineups and the rain can’t…
Guys, I’d like to introduce you to my favorite Japanese restaurant in Calgary. Globefish Sushi and Izakaya is located outside of Chinook Mall, right next to the Shopper’s Drug Mart entrance. If you think Japanese cuisine revolves only around sushi, then you should pay this restaurant a visit, it will change your perspective. The first…
Located just off Macleod Trail on 58th Avenue, Oriental Phoenix is the perfect place to grab a great Vietnamese meal before a movie or trip to Chinook mall, a mere five to ten minute walk away. With attentive service, a pleasant atmosphere, and delicious vermicelli bowls, this is a great place to go for a…
Ever since my trip to Las Vegas, the excessive food has really weighed me down. Literally. So to turn that around, over the course of February until now, I have been trying out “clean eating”. I don’t know how to define it, but I found this lovely bit of information from The Gracious Pantry that…
Here’s another fantastic DIY by the amazing swellmayde. Summer’s almost here and lemonade is the perfect drink for the season. This beverage as delicious and low sugar. To make it, you’ll need: 1 cup frozen strawberries, defrosted (1 tablespoon of liquid from defrosted strawberries for coloring) 2 packets Sweet’N Low® zero calorie sweetener 1/4 cup…
Aah its that time of year again, children going nuts in preparation for a summer full of delights. Most of them are driving their parents wild, like my neighbour’s 10 year old son, Thorgan. Thorgan just wants to have fun! He tells me he is so done with “the boring school” and wants cool stuff…
Okay, it’s not quite what you’re thinking. Yet it fits perfectly with the Japanese theme of Otafest (officially my favorite convention now, hehe). Shogun Teppanyaki Grill was my lunch choice on the Sunday of that long weekend, partly because I didn’t have a volunteer shift that day (no free food), but mostly because four food trucks…
I was cooking up a recipe for my Spanish class the other day, and I came across this surprisingly easy and very delicious recipe for traditional Spanish sugar cookies, or pastissets. This recipe is seriously easy – only a handful of ingredients are needed to make a soft, moist, melt-in-your-mouth type cookie with an added…
A couple weeks ago I reviewed a bundt cake recipe (the “candy apple” bundt cake), and although I liked it, I felt the recipe I chose was lacking. Because of my parents’ close birthdays I soon found myself making another cake. Of course, again I was pressed for time, and a bundt cake again came…
On every Urbanspoon (a trending website!) restaurant review page, the “opinions” section always has a “blog posts” section: Their Spoonback feature enables your food reviews for specific food places to be shown in that section! Letting readers access your food review blogs that way is very advantageous. If you click back to some of my food reviews, you’ll see…

Yaaay for Frozen Yogurt! Ever since the sun has been coming out more often, these frozen yogurt machines just seems to be popping out everywhere! Speaking of which, let’s give a warm welcoming to the new Tutti Frutti located on 130 Ave! If you didn’t know, this saturday (May 11) was their Grand Opening, and…
If you head to any Asian supermarkets in Calgary, you’re likely to see one of these large jars sitting on shelves sitting along with other tea products instead of with jams. The contents are much more reminiscent of a marmalade than something to make “tea” with. The doubts are definitely reasonable – Citron tea, yujacha (유자차 in Hangul), is…
Great schnitzel is hard to find outside of Bavarian cities like Kimberly, which is why I’m happy to say I’ve finally found a place. Not only is the schnitzel delicious at Wiener-Schnitzel Haus, but they also serve six different variations on the traditional German dish. One thing to note is the portions are huge; an…
