Mosaic Bar and Grille- Italian Chef Tasting Menu

The barely cooked runny yolk is meant to be popped and enjoyed along with the risotto...and enjoy I did. The golden lava coated every kernel of rice with its warm embrace and made the risotto that much more comforting.

Marche (Toronto) - Coolest Restaurant Ever

Ok guys, here's another restaurant that is not to be missed when visiting Toronto. It's called Marche located in the Financial District and I sadly went on the last day of my work vacay so returning for another fabulous lunch was not an option. :( Marche is a market style restaurant in which it is set up like a super cute supermarket (think Whole Foods). It is divided into different sections (burgers, pastas, dessert, veggies, smoothies...etc)...

I haven't been to this restaurant in a really long time, so Meta Knight and I decided on coming for a quick lunch. It is located on No.3 Road across from Aberdeen Center. Xiao Long Bao (aka Shanghai Soup Buns) is the staple item to get in any Shanghainese restaurant...

Banh Mi Boys (Toronto) - Sweet Mother Of God

Sorry for the infrequent posts. I'm currently in Toronto right now for work and am severely lacking in sleep and energy. However, even though I get busy, I never neglect my meals so I do have some great upcoming posts about the cool eateries I've visited during my stay here. :D First up, Banh Mi Boys. This restaurant was recommended on Urbanspoon and Yelp so my coworkers and I decided to check it out. This is not your typical banh mi shop. They...
