Kimchi Naengmyeon / Kimchi Cold Noodles

There’s nothing like beating the heat than with a bowl of cold, refreshing noodles. I just love gobbling down a bowl of these in the dead of a summer heat wave. It takes minimal effort to make and doesn’t heat up your kitchen all that much, great for me as I don't have air conditioning at my place.

I’ve been craving kimchi a lot lately, and I thought what would be better than to add them to cold noodles? Minimum effort. Maximum flavour. And so, so good. (And good for you! It’s loaded with vitamins A, B, and C and contains “healthy bacteria”—lactobacilli—which helps with digestion.)

Wordless Wednesday #49: Would You Like Fries With That?

The Inaugural #FoodTruckEats

It seemed like a lot of Toronto's foodies (and non-foodies) were out in full force this past Saturday at the Distillery District in support of Toronto's first ever Food Truck Event. Clearly the turnout, over 3000 present, proved that the city of Toronto was ready and wanting a food truck scene of our own.

Wordless Wednesday #48: Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. White!

Not completely wordless this week. For those who follow my tweets, you may know that I was at the wedding of my good friend this past weekend. It was a beautiful day, and I'd just like to say congratulations to my friends! I'm so happy for them! Don't they make a beautiful couple below?

It wasn't my intention to take pictures of the dinner, sitting at the head table and all, but they turned to me and asked if I was going to take pictures and put them up. So here they are... Quite good for a wedding, I must admit. That chocolate mousse dessert was divine, although I couldn't finish it because I was so full by that point! And I never did make my way to the midnight buffet table. Congratulations again to the happy couple!)
