HIDEMI SUGINO'S BRESILIENNE

This is my second time making a Hidemi Sugino entremet, the first being B-Caraibe (no picture because it wasn't a very glorious picture. Shall have to make it again then and take better picture next time around). It's made of several layers, and although can be rather time-consuming, the end result was fabulous! I love swirly birthday candles I found the Brésilienne to be faster...

BENJAMIN'S RESTAURANT AND INN, ST. JACOBS

I first came about this restaurant a good four or five years ago. Back then I shared the Reuben sandwich with Mommy, and since that moment, I have been enlightened with the magic of Montreal smoked meat. *Click* Benjamin's Restaurant and Inn is on Urbanspoon!

(It's the latter, by the way) This bar is rather small, but they've thoughtfully partitioned off some side-by-side tables with linens, to add to the cosiness of the...

FOOD PORN: (RECIPE) GRILLED SANDWICHES EDITION

They're essentially sandwiches, but just so much better.  Yes, your fingers may complain as they get oily from the crispy, buttered and olive oil pan-fried outsides, but your taste buds will say "Thank you, you have chosen well." I probably haven't convinced you enough to have you wanting to make one of these yourself, but let me tell you: it only takes you...

RECIPE: PENANG LAKSA

A couple weeks back I called my mommy to tell her that I really wanted to eat laksa. So that week when I went home mommy gave me a list of things to buy at the grocery store for this sour and spicy noodle soup. I love going home to eat - all I do is do what my mom tells me to...
