So you’ve probably heard about the Food Truck pilot project, which started in the summer of 2011. A fleet of food trucks have been driving around, bringing gourmet treats to Calgarians across the city. The fantastic part is that the food trucks are mobile and change their locations every day, making this new part of…
Last September, I posted about the Food Truck Revolution. In less than a year, it seems the trucks have done a complete takeover of Calgary’s street scene and are here to stay. More and more trucks are popping up all over of the city, bringing the overall count to eight trucks featured on the YYC Food…
Last Friday night (cue Katy Perry’s song), I had an awesome time exploring 12 Ave and 2 St; there were tons of food trucks lined up, and I decided to try the Holy Crepe food truck. Among 20-some other food trucks, this 4-month old truck has a sweet twist on the thin pancake. Tasting Chef…
Alice in Wonderland has been definitely one of my favourite stories of all time. Now, I know Japan has some pretty amazing stuff – but this… this is beyond amazing! The designers Eiichi Maruyama and Katsunori Suzuki were able to recreate Lewis Carroll’s renowned work into a real world restaurant/cafe (unfortunately, it is in Japan!) Here is the pictorial evidence……
Calling all those who are fans of Japanese cuisine…! (Or those who are willing to try it!) Wa’s is a Japanese restaurant I’ve been to literally more than a dozen times now, and what can I say – their food is amazing every single time. Their food quality is very consistent; the sashimi always fresh…
The River Café is widely known in Calgary as a great dine; one of the best in town. Nothing could be better than to head to a wonderful restaurant after strolling around Prince’s Island.
During the lovely, carefree days of spring break, MJ and I again got together to bring you this review of the Big Cheese Poutinerie. Location This cute store is located a short, two minute walk westwards down 17th avenue from Western Canada High School. Really close to school (almost directly across from Starbucks), and really…
Where better to spend an afternoon than eating at the River Café in the heart of Calgary- that is, if you count the heart of Calgary as Prince’s Island Park.
“It’s not fusion… it’s Alloy. Fusion is so last decade.” – Calgary Herald Tucked in between industrial buildings, industrial sites, quiet lush greens, shy from the public’s glare – all but a few minutes’ drive from the populous Chinook Mall – lies a neat, cozy restaurant that brings fused cultures to life. As one walks…
During our extended lunchtime at school, Juliet and I once again marched down 17th to find Jelly Modern Doughnuts. And let me tell you, these are not your Timmies doughnuts. Location Fortunately for the two of us, JMD is pretty close to Western Canada High school. Located on 8 St and 14 Ave, it’s a nice…
Jean Philippe, a pastry shop at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, holds the World’s Guinness Record for the World’s Largest Chocolate Fountain to cure your sweet tooth – unfortunately, only visually. On the other hand, they sell all kinds of other pastries, crepes and sweets for those who have the chance to visit Vegas (maybe…
Everyone loves food! (Or at the very least, needs it to survive…) -So why not a little creativity with some bento boxes? Pictures accredited to linked websites and chain mails (who know those would be so evil… inducing hunger in all of mankind).
After last week’s failure to investigate Crepes & Cravings, MJ and I finally managed to pay this little store a much-deserved visit. Before I start, I would like to apologize for the lack of pictures – we got a little caught up with eating and talking and then we forgot… but we will definitely remember…
One cold winter morning, Juliet and MJ set out into the ice and slush of 17th avenue to bring you this food review! If you’re looking for good places to grab a bite, check out our reviews!
A rare, fragile yet charming form of art – latte art is usually created either during the process of pouring microfoam (perfectly steamed milk) onto the crema (brown foam formed at the top of freshly brewed espresso), creating a heart or rosette (free pouring); or by drawing a pattern in the foams with a coffee…
