Vietnamese food is one of my favorite when talking about Asian food, it’s light and fresh and makes me feel like I’m eating healthy. One restaurant I only had visited once before, as I’m not often in that neighborhood was Le Red Tiger. I went with friends and we had ordered lots of dishes from […]
Since walking is pretty much the only activity open to all parks are getting busy. I’ve walked the Old Port, the Mont-Royal and it’s packed all the time. There’s another place too that you can now take walks at, the Botanical Garden. Obviously the indoor gardens are closed but the outside ones are open and […]
I love Asian food, I always find it filled with taste and satisfying, one of my favorite dish are dumplings. There’s a lot of places that offer dumplings but not all places do it right. I had discovered a few years ago Mai Xiang Yuan location in Chinatown and I was disapointed to see it […]

A couple of weeks ago I had a craving and since Covid prevented gathering and I couldn’t get my dose of home cooked Haitian food I decided to order from Agrikol. If you’ve never had caribean food it’s definitely missing in your culture. I’m no rookie to it myself as it was probably 25 years […]

To me pizza is just not pizza, if you don’t like pizza you have no idea what i’m talking about but if you do i’m sure you know what I mean. There are lots of different types of pizzas out there and I’m not talking toppings. I’ll order from different restaurants depending on the “pizza […]
