Food of the day: ‘Mystery’ burger

This is by far one of the beet burgers I’ve had, but can’t for the sake of my life and I able to remember the name of this place, just know a popular tv chef opened it, if someone knows what it is, please let me know, i had it in the Washington airport

I just love how egg adds a layer of flavor to the burger, the yolk oozing out of the burger covering the medium well done burger is nothing but heavenly.

Food of the day: Cold soya udon

A cold soya udon I got at a local udon shop. A huge lineup that took us roughly 20 mins to get the udon, but for the price and taste, its well worth it. The udon (at least the cold version) basically uses a soba soup base as opposed to the claimed soya, with a lightly pouched egg topped with tempura flakes and green onions.  simple yet delightfully refreshing, especially after walking around Hawaii for the past 2 hours! delish!  

Food (drink) of the day: Mundet Green Apple Soda

What about to get a regular mexican soda when the cashier suggested this to me, and behold, one of the most amazing soda I’ve had in my life. A light sweet apple flavor combined with the soda fizzing, its just delicious.

Food of the day: Sushi Sashimi boat.

Have been craving some lovely sushi for a while, Hamaru sushi is pretty good, for the price i definitely could’ve had more or slightly better, the appetizer noodle was unique, at least compared to other toronto jap food, great nice chill vibe, worth the try.

Food of the day: Asian Style

As plain as this looks, this is nothing short of amazing. Chicken breast covered with oatmeal, deep fried to perfection with japanese mayo, terriyaki sauce and flakes of dried fish, on top of rice, its absolutely delicious. Dat asian style :)

Food of the day: Buffalo chicken burger

Yet another burger post, I really dooo love burgers. Got the burger at dave and buster’s diner. The burger was topped with blue cheese, deed fried onions and most of all buffalo chicken fingers, followed by a side of loaded mash potato. The burger was great, not extremely juicy but it was tasty none the less. Did no expect a burger like this at dave’s, kinda figured it would be more crappy. Can’t judge a book by… nething than the content i guess? haha

Food of the day: Banquet Burger 

A classic for burgers from fran’s. One of my favourite things about burgers is the toppings you can add to it, and nothing is more classic than the banquet burger with its cheddar cheese and crispy bacon. But as you see in this photo, the burger was actually really dry, and as much as cheese and bacon works really well with burgers, a bite into this burger feels almost tasteless as each ingredient for some reason does not go with each other. A major disappointment for me that day. It was however a really busy day so maybe that’s why. 

Food of the day: Food truck Tacos

Fish taco and shrimp taco, got these babies during the food truck festival, for 5 dollars each, I must say they are a tad hefty considering it wasn’t crazy amazing, but definitely a change from the usual taco bell. The ingredients were there but the whole taco just didn’t come together to make this an amazing taco, o wells, can’t be always good food I guess? 

Food of the day: Pork Bone Base Ramen

Got this at Rajin Ramen, I would say one of the more outstanding ramen places in toronto. The soup base is extremely rich, so for those that prefer a lighter flavor, this is not somewhere you would go. But for people like me who enjoy a savoury dish, or in this case bowl, I would strongly recommend this place! One downside would be the meat is not cooked as nicely as some other places, but all in all a great place 

Food of the day: French Onion Soup

Got this lovely soup at Fran’s, the soup base was great and so were the croutons, the cheese selection was not to my tasting, and it would’ve been better if the cheese were slightly more baked. All in all its good since I was craving it, but its nothing amazing.

Here is everything I ate from Saturday to Tuesday. Kansas City, my birthday (foie gras! lamb! kobe burger!), kinda back on diet. It was a really fun weekend but I did gain 1.6 lbs and lose 0.5 inches all around. The inches are more important, so I’m doing okay despite crazy birthday weekend setbacks.

I pretty much ate this in varying quantities over the past two days. Homemade beef quesadilla with guacamole, Double Chocolate Krave cereal, and grapes.

Diet hasn’t been good this week, but I lost 1.2 lbs and 1/8 inch overall.

I love tabbouleh

I’m just going to call this weekend “The Lost Weekend.” It was boozy, I ate a lot, and I did not take pictures of my food. Cleaner eating today, save for half an Arby’s roast beef. Today is also Day 1 of Operation 64 fl oz. My poor bladder.

Btw I like kale best when it is cooked with garlic and then tossed with bacon. Delicious.

Oatmeal I had for breakfast and a few fries and bites of battered fish from the bar not pictured. I also had about six full glasses of the sangria. Can’t beat $5 carafes!

From Thursday: not so healthy

Happy to report that I lost 3.4 lbs last week. Will update with inches next week on Weight Wednesday! Lol

Surprise dinner at a friend’s house was pretty carb-heavy but delicious

Ate a ton of small meals today. Pictured: ¼ leftover Chipotle burrito, 1.5 egg mushroom omelette with carrots, ½ bagel, ½ can clam chowder, 3 squares of chocolate marshmallow heaven, 1 Cool Ranch Doritos taco. We went to a Murder Mystery party tonight, so these are the not pictured items: 5 tortilla chips with guacamole, 2 glasses Chardonnay, 1 glass Cabernet, 2 glasses iced tea, chalupa. Today was definitely this week’s cheat day! Totally worth it.

From yesterday: spinach omelette, taco meat, Chipotle burrito with brown rice. Lots of protein, kinda overate, but OMG the Chipotle was amazing.

The key to an effective diet is repetition, right? Pretty fruit-heavy today - will try to replace some with veggies.
