    Eating like a local in Saigon

    It was a balmy night in Saigon, and I had found myself perched atop a low plastic stool, alternating between sucking on a cold brew and sea snails seasoned generously with chilli and salt. It was a completely unexpected foray into the food scene of Saigon, and I was having the best time of my…

    5 food spots you shouldn’t miss in NYC

    I spend a lot of time in the Big Apple. Well…relatively…considering I only visit two or three times a year. Since I’ve spent the better part of all my visits for the last four or five years eating my way through New York City, I’m constantly giving restaurant recommendations to friends and family heading there.…

    Out & About // Off Menu

    Oh Fanatic Kitchen Studio…I just can’t quit you. Ha. Jk. I never tried to quit you. It’s time for a run down of round 2 of that delightful dining experience – Off Menu.

    Out & About // Oh What a Saturday!

    Last weekend was murder. I don’t know why but it was THAT much harder to get out of bed to do anything at all, and yet, it was probably one of the busiest weekends I’ve had in a while. Because…life. I kicked Saturday off with a trip to Vanity Fair with my co-workers Alina and…

    Out & About // Aioli

    Sooooo…I’ve been eating again. As if Saturday night’s shenanigans weren’t enough, the Boy and I, along with food blogger extraordinaire Quincy and his guest Kim, took to the newest culinary kid on the block (one of the best kept secrets that everyone has kind of heard about but wasn’t sure if the rumours were true) Aioli.…

    Pencil This In

    I would have done this post entirely on the happenings in May but this Thursday, 25th April, Kraze celebrates their 1 Year Anniversary in fitting fashion: a shopping party! Kraze will be dropping new stock just in time for their Birthday and possibly treating guests to a preview of Rhion Romany‘s next collection: Monroe. Not…

    A Night at Emiliana’s

    Emiliana Osteria Italiana must be the best kept secret in town – of the Italian variety that is. The intimate and warm Italian restaurant is tucked away on Longden Street, in close vicinity to Lapeyrouse and I don’t doubt that passers-by have often wondered what lay behind the frosted glass facade, a building so starkly…
