Famers Market

It's a wonderful day to go to a famers market.

There was a lot of people for a Saturday morning.

There was lots of food we weren't expecting to see. For example,

Donut making machine.

Bumblebee sushi - That's pretty cool.

But they did have a lot of healthy food too.

Gluten-free cookies and muffins.

The last gluten free asparagus chip.... and it's all mine.

Glutton-free tofu? They had various kinds, like black bean flavored, regular, and my favorite....

Spicy tofu.... Yummy.

The hot pickles was a nice treat. Spice was a nice twist.

There were some cooking up a storm and they were willing to share their recipe.

Not sure if the people here will be here throughout the summer, but if you're in the area, I recommend you stop by to try some good eats. 😎

Jamaican West Indie Hotness (JWIH)

This is a place that has West Indian people and everyone dancing up a storm.

There are a ton of these types of restaurants in Toronto, but there's something about real Grandma's making my dish that impresses me, it's authenticity.

Plantain's - 3 pcs ($1.50)

Curry Goat Roti - Closed

Curry Goat Roti - Open ($9.00)

Ox tail dinner ($10.00)

Albert's claims to be real Jamaican food and you can taste (and see) the realness. If you're in the mood for some real West Indian food, I would definitely recommend this place. ;-)

Albert's Real jamaican foods

Pub food that could work (PF)

If you've had your share of Pub food, you would know there's always a place that has what you like to order the most.

Walking into this place, you can tell that this place has been around for a while and it caters to those working in the area. At 3820 Victoria Park Avenue, North York, this pub show potential.

Hot Wings with Fries ($5.99)

I'll be returning here, not because of the what I ordered, but because I need to see what else they can do. It's hard to give a place any rating based on what I had, but so far so good.

Korean food at it's finest (KFF)

I love places that have me coming back for more. This is one of those places. In Koreatown, there's a nice little family run restaurant, and deserves much respect. At 661 Bloor St. West, Sunrise House has the Korean style food that will have you saying "yummy" at every bite.

If you're ever downtown (Toronto), I totally recommend you visit this place, especially if you like spicy food. ;-)

Korean condiments (free)

Stir Fried Kimchi with Pork ($7.00)

Bulgogi (beef) Bibimbop in a bowl ($7.00)

Korean style ribs ($9.99)

Miso soup - The little red stuff is from me putting my chopsticks in the bowl to stir it around. I had kimchi on my chopsticks. :-P (free)

If I could underscore one point, it would be taste. As spicy as the food is, it's very tasty, and that's what good food is all about. I'll definitely be going back here.

Proper Ramen Downtown (PRD)

I've never been to a Ramen restaurant in Toronto, and this was my first time going to one.

It's a narrow place.

If you're willing to wait a while for seating of more than 2 people (at least 1hr at dinner time), then you'll get a good window seat.

Love the bowls and spoons.

I got the spicy garlic ramen, and yes, it was spicy.

The portions are really big, so you definitely get your money's worth here.

Miso Ramen

The atmosphere was very good. They had a Japanese style of drum n' bass music that I've never heard before. Even if you're not into that kind of music, it's not overpowering so that you can't have a conversation with others. It's totally background music.

Another cool part about this experience is you get to hear all the cooks, waiters and whoever else is working say goodbye to you when you leave, all in Japanese. Hearing that trail of goodbye's from the front door all the way to the kitchen is pretty cool.

I know there's other Ramen restaurants in Toronto that I have yet to try, but this place is very interesting and I would recommend it to those who wants good ramen.
