Food Blogs Galore
A while back (March 2008), I decided to start writing food reviews on places I've visited - I haven't really been keeping up with it, partly because of time constraints, but mostly because [...]
Peppino Subs in Kensington
Yesterday my mom took me out for lunch to Peppino in Kensington (#101 - 1240 Kensington Road NW). I've been there many times before and it's one of my favorite places to get a sandwich/sub.
Regency Palace
Last Sunday we went to Regency Palace for dim sum. Some of the best tasting Chinese food in Calgary's Chinatown. I hadn't been to Regency Palace in a long time, but we [..]
Pho Que Huong
I've been to many places in Calgary (and Toronto) for Pho, including the highly over-rated Co Do on 17th Avenue SW in Calgary. My favorite place for Pho in Calgary is Pho Que Huong in Pacific Place Mall (#628, 999 - 36th Street NE). They have an entrance from the food court as well as their main entrance at [...]
T & T Supermarket
Today, both locations of T & T Supermarket in Calgary, which specialize in Asian foods, received the highest fines ever given in Alberta for food violations. The food safety violations ranged from unsanitary conditions; not properly cleaning knives, sinks, food prep areas, etc; and storing foods at improper temperatures.
Won Ton Soup
I decided to make won ton soup the other day. I've never been one who likes to follow recipes - I sometimes look up recipes to get ideas on ingredients or twists but I don't ever pay much attention to the quantities - I'm pretty good at figuring that out on my own. I can't say that I found any great recipes or anything interesting - not any different than what I was already planning anyways. The won tons turned out pretty good especially given the fact that [...]
Pulcinella
In my March 11, 2008 post, "10 Places to Eat in Toronto", I mentioned my love for Da Maria Pizzeria in Toronto and Martin Aller-Stead posted a comment: [...] the Stromboli Inn on Kensington just west of 10th Street NW used to have the best pizza in Calgary, bar none. Well, I looked for the Stromboli Inn for quite a while after that and, not being able to find it, I had figured that it probably doesn't exist anymore. And then just the other day, I found out that The Stromboli Inn is now Pulcinella - owned by the same family and now in the hands of the younger generation. A good friend of mine had actually introduced me to Pulcinella (1147 Kensington Crescent NW) in February 2007 and I've been back several times since then, most recently last Wednesday (April 9, 2008).
