  • Dear @PokeWaveTO, seriously, you have a pretty high rank on my happy food list😋. Your housemade creamy togarashi sauce paired with Binchō-tan (japanese white charcoal) torched tuna is just perfection!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ @PokeWaveTO is available on all your favourite delivery apps🚙! Stay safe and stay in folks! ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ 📸 #BehindTheScenes: Need to shoot a dark photo in a semi-bright room? By draping a handy black scarf over @edmundksli to create a dark background and shining my LED light panel close to the Pokebowl, I was able to make the surroundings look very dark! If you don't have an LED panel, 1 or 2 cellphone lights will do the trick too!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #poke #pokebowl #hawaiinpoke #freshpoke #healthyeating #foodphotography #lighting #photoshoot #canon6d #sponsored @viltrox2009 #viltroxgear #torontofood #curiocity #dishedto #foodie #yyzeats #cravethe6ix #to_finest #binchotan #ubereats #doordash #foodora
  • Social distancing can be tough. But this is a piece of cake. 🍰⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Here's me fighting Covid-19 by staying home and taking advantage of the $0 delivery from @ubereats_canada!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ And they brought a slice of @BakeCode heaven straight to my door!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ 📷: Japanese Strawberry Shortcake⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #BakeCode #bakery #cafe #croissant #pastry #dessert #sweets #cake #cruffin #chatime #ubereats #socialdistancing #staysafe #corona #covid #shortcake #foodie #toronto #blogto #ubereats #tastetoronto
  • The Black Lodge Cocktail Bar is tucked into the very back of the second floor of @StormCrowManor🤫 behind a forbidding velvet curtain. Step into the Manor's Twin Peaks/Shining-themed room where you can sip on glowing cocktails/mocktails and indulge in small bites. This space is great for private events! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📍Location: 580 Church Street ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S. I often times don't make the cut to my own Instafeed, but I made it this time (What can I say, I am my own worse critic)! Thanks to @edmundksli for taking this photo of me, I know it wasn't easy! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #cocktaillounge #speakeasy #bar #cocktails #drinkstagram #craftcocktails #cocktailculture #torontococktails #cocktailporn #cocktailtime #cocktailsofinstagram #imbibe #imbibegram #worldsbestbars #torontofood #toronto #foodie #blogto #curiocityto #narcitytoronto #the6ix #torontoeats #cravethe6ix #gta #stanleykubrick #theshining #twinpeaks #sponsored
  • I pho-cast a delicious meal with a drizzle of fish sauce😆. Okay, you can Bahn Mi now from instagram😂. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Check out the #Junction's newest Viet food spot, @Tam.Restaurant for a delicious homey meal at incredibly affordable prices! Everything is below $10 tax-in! It was here that I tried my first bánh bột lọc and let me tell you, I fell in love! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bánh bột lọc is a chewy tapioca dumpling filled with shrimp and some other good stuff served with a side of fish sauce. Each piece was juicy and flavourful and I couldn't get enough of them! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Having said that, special mentions to the Bánh mì, Rice bowl with Curry Chicken, Bánh bèo, Bún bò Huế and Hojicha soy latte (not pictured here). (Yes, I know I basically mentioned over half the menu, but seriously everything I tried was yummy and eating it felt so very clean as they don't over salt their food). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Location: 369 Keele St. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thanks @Tam.Restaurant and @therealdklo for the invite! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photos as follows: 1. Bánh bột lọc 2. Bánh mì 3. Bún bò Huế - Spicy Vermicelli Soup 4. Rice Bowl with curry chicken 5. cà phê sữa Vietnamese Drip coffee 6. Gỏi cuốn - Vietnamese spring roll 7. Bánh bèo - Rice flour, mungbean paste and green onion oil. 8. Bánh bèo ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #francesmenu #sponsored #junction #torontofood #food #foodporn #toronto #foodie #blogto #curiocityto #narcitytoronto #the6ix #torontoeats #cravethe6ix #to_finest #torontolifestyle #yyz #gta #vietfood #vietnamese #pho #bahnmi #bunbohue #bahnbotloc #curryrice #cleaneating #westtoronto
  • How much do you think this #RubiksCube cake is sold for? I was very excited to finally see this exquisite cake designed by @cedricgrolet in person. Unfortunately, everything else was sold out by the time I arrived at this tiny immaculate retail front. #CestLaVie, next time Pa-ris🇫🇷 (Yes, I'm saying that with a French accent)! 📍Location: 6 Rue Castiglione #cedricgrolet #pastryart #pastry #pastrychef #pastrylove #paris #pariseats #parisfood #cakesofinstagram #patisserie #frenchpastry #rubikscubecake #cakeart #francesmenu
