I don’t eat to live, I live to eat.
Four days flew by and it’s already our last day at the cottage. We had a 4pm check-out time so we weren’t in too much of a rush. So we had the time to enjoy some food, to finish some packing, to clean up the Airbnb and even to allow the baby to take one… Continue reading Thousand Islands Cottage Trip: Day 4 (Kingston)
We had a relaxing, lazy morning at the cottage as the weather continues to be wet. We had lovely American breakfast with scrambled eggs, sausages, bagels, croissants and fruits. After breakfast, we were debating whether to book a cruise to Thousand Islands later in the afternoon as previously planned, since there is a risk of… Continue reading Thousand Islands Cottage Trip: Day 2 (Wolfe Island-Gananoque)
As usual, Day 1 is a travel day. We had left around noon from Ottawa. We made a stop the new Kingston Tesla Supercharger (there are 2 at this site) to recharge the car as well for quick lunch at Panera Bread. I had their pick 2 with BLT with avocado and the broccoli mac… Continue reading Thousand Islands Cottage Trip: Day 1 (Ottawa-Kingston-Wolfe Island)
Recently, we took a family trip to Prince Edward County. Aaron and I have been to PEC a couple of times but this time, we had to adjust our trip a little due to travelling with two infants, a dog and a person with limited mobility (i.e. me with broken ankle in a cast). It… Continue reading Family Trip to Prince Edward County

We made a… Continue reading Working Title: A Lovely Patio Experience
This year for Valentine’s Day, we decided to visit NeXT again but instead of dining in, given the current pandemic restrictions, they were offering a special dine-at-home experience. I have been very impressed with NeXT’s ability to adapt during this pandemic and have been watching the way they’ve been rolling out their Global Table series… Continue reading NeXT Global Tables Dining Series @ Home: THAILAND – Valentine’s Day Edition
Background Aaron and I have been wanting a host a dinner club for a while now, dating back to our Asia trip in 2016. Since we love travelling and it’s not possible to do that all the time, we were hoping this will be a travel-themed dinner with a small group of friends around once… Continue reading Hosting a Virtual Dinner Party
This week, we ordered the Family Style Dinner Take Away from Fraser Cafe. We used to frequent Fraser Cafe for brunch and really enjoy their delicious breakfast sandwiches as well as interesting take on dishes like the Japanese okonomiyaki. We’ve also visited their adjacent dining room Table 40 for corporate events and really enjoyed our… Continue reading Fraser Cafe: A Family-Style Dinner Like No Other
We recently purchased a mandolin for our cooking needs, so we thought we would share our experience as well as some recipes using this new tool. We have the Benriner Japanese Mandolin and we also purchased some heavy duty cut-resistant gloves to protect our fingers. There is an attachment that comes with the mandolin but… Continue reading Mandolin Review
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all restaurants in Ottawa are closed for dining-in. I will try to highlight local restaurants which are still open and offering take-out and delivery options in the meantime. NeXT has recently relaunched with a very enticing take-out menu. You can also get delivery via UberEats. For information on other restaurants which… Continue reading NeXT: A Romantic Valentine’s Day Dinner
