Thoroughbred Food & Drink

*Pow pow* goes Thoroughbred's Kung Pao Cauliflower



Watch it, these little guys pack a mean punch, especially with that spicy kick after.

This is a belated post, as I made my way to Thoroughbred for summerlicious back in July.

Seven Lives

It's honestly nacho problem that I'm obsessed with taco joints, okay?
And no, I'm not going to taco 'bout it.
But I will talk about the tacos at Seven Lives...

Pearl Diver

Who else is on a seefood diet? Me!!!

Join in on the fun :)

I found Pearl Diver when searching up good seafood near my office.

Pearl Diver used to be Starfish, before they renovated and redesigned the place.

Terroni

What is this mountain of steaming, hot goodness? Pasta, duhhh.

What better way to relax on a Thursday than going out to have some carbs and good laughs out on a beautiful patio. Terroni on Queen West has one of the cutest patio spaces I've visited!

 

Little Fin

Lobster grilled cheese sandwich? Mmm mm good.

Event: Toronto Cocktail Feast 2015

LuckyRice and Bombay Sapphire East Gin presents: the first ever Toronto Cocktail Feast

Queen Street Warehouse

Cheap eats? Big portions? Let me see for myself!



I have been meaning to visit Queen Street Warehouse since everyone raves about how the food is cheap and the portions are large. I decided to come here after work on a Monday and it was super packed!! The patio was full, and even the seats along the bar.

Legal Sea Food

Given that today is #NationalOysterDay, blogging about my oyster experience in Boston seemed reasonable, don't cha think? But in all seriousness, eating oysters in Boston was definitely one of the food highlights of my trip.

Although it was a mission and a half to find a seafood restaurant to eat (weird, eh??), we did it!

Saving Gigi

Brunchin' on Bloor West on a beautiful day after a barre class is the best.

(woo, an alliteration!)

NàRoma Pizza Bar

Umm... Did someone say pizza?



Over the long weekend, I went hiking in Hamilton to see the falls and got some awesome viewpoint shots. And to be completely honest, this was my first time in Hamilton. I also had no expectation for the food there. We were just walking down Locke Street and randomly decided to eat at NàRoma.

Hi August

In the past 7 months, I've learned a couple of things. 

If you are not obsessed with the life you're living, change it.

If you want something you've never had, then you've got to do something you've never done.

I can't believe this year is more than half over, but that also means there's another 5 months for me to do whatever the hell I want. Bring on the adventures!

Long weekend adventures ☀️☀️☀️ #neverstopexploring #treesontrees #adventuretime

Surprise me.
