Moment For Life




Frite Alors: Various Locations
Far Right: L'eau à la Bush (steak, onions, mushrooms)
Far Left: La Frite Alors!(green peppers, mushrooms, onions & bacon)

A spontaneous roadtrip with the family and what's a road trip to Montreal without having Poutine? Reading an all-french menu was difficult at first but fail on my part once I found out they carry an English menu.

"I wish that I could have this moment for life", as Nicki Minaj would say. Having a poutine a day can be detrimental to my health but I would totally be satisfied. Just kidding. Maybe. Or not.

Bodega (Winterlicious)


Crispy Crab Cakes - with white wine, tomato Provencal sauce & tarragon caper cream

Seafood Bouillabaisse - with prawns, scallops & market fish in a fennel tomato broth, Emmenthal cheese & rouille

Warm Pecan Tart - with French Vanilla ice cream and Chocolate Sauce

Bodega with a few friends for Winterlicious. These were the dishes I ordered. Service was pretty dull. Quality of the dishes were average, though I partially blame myself for having all-you-can-eat sushi few hours before our Winterlicious reservations. I was craving sushi, give me a break.

Wish I had my camera for Rosewater - the atmosphere was impeccable and probably my best Licious' experience so far. Although I think it's time that I enjoy fine dining outside the Licious menus.

I say it many times but I really do need a DSLR. I need to make this happen.

Better late than never. But never late is better.






High Tea @ Annona, Macarons from MoRoCo Chocolat

Satisfied one of my cravings for the holidays with an ex-coworker from way back in the day. Annona at Park Hyatt Toronto was recommended by her friend and let's just say the experience was worthwhile. Although I couldn't finish the Dark Chocolate Cherry Domino pastry (too much chocolate for my taste buds), you can't go wrong when it's $26 per person. I'm not kidding.

Satisfied ANOTHER craving at MoRoCo Chocolat today (I had to stop by since it was a block away). I can definitely taste the $2.50 when I took a bite in the Pistachio and Passionfruit macarons as i'm typing this. Mind you I just got back from dinner at Milestones and I still managed to chow down these amazing french pastries. Words can't even describe how amazing the flavours are. I had to pass on the coconut flavour though - maybe next time.

It was definitely fun being a foodie for the day. Can I do this as a career?
