Dim Sum is the Chinese version of Sunday brunch: served anytime from mid-morning to late afternoon, with various bite-sized portions of food served in small bamboo steamer baskets and lots of tea. It’s a lazy, long meal. Most dishes are very light in flavour, portions are small, and each plate is shared by the whole…

I have a been an avid fan of the Asian community on YouTube, from the classic works of Nigahiga to the hilarity of KevJumba, and of course the innovative Wong Fu Productions. Earlier this week, I was once again procrastinating and wasting away many more precious hours on YouTube. That is when I stumbled upon…
Even for those who are not visiting Fernie, if you’re passing through on highway 3 The Curry Bowl is an a quick turn off, very easily accessible for those wishing to make a meal stop, yet not wanting a diet of fast food. However, those planning on going should know that the restaurant is not…
If you were to ask a random non-Asian person “what is Kpop?” before this July, chances are you are probably would not get the correct answer.

Emotional, even. It sounds almost like indie or folk. And all that, without losing the…
I love Wongfu Productions. I love all their sketches, shorts, series, every Wongfu Weekend, every music video. Everything. (Okay probably not everything, but close enough). In fact, if the three guys from Wongfu – Wes Chan, Ted Fu and Phil Wang – morphed into one amalgamation of a human being, I would probably marry that person. I’m…
We’ve all been there: you do a math test, you’re feeling really confident, and then you get the test back, and you’ve got one question wrong! After you look to see what happened, you say “Oh, I see what I did wrong!” Somewhere, you’ve made a (as my dad labels it) “careless mistake” in either…
The Glenbow Museum is simply one of the best places to visit in Calgary, and I’m not saying this just because I’m currently pursuing a History degree or because I am an amateur artist, but because there is always something amazing for everyone in one of the many exhibits at the Glenbow Museum. The Glenbow…
Like many graduating high-schoolers, I will be applying for post-secondary education this year. In fact, compared to some of my colleagues, I am already one of the late ones to apply. This rush to grab available spots in universities is perhaps why one of the newest articles in Maclean’s magazine has caught my eye. The…
