LIGHT AND EXTRA CRISPY WAFFLES W/ SPICY CHERRY SYRUP (recipe)
If you’re a fan of all things sweet with a little bit of spice, this waffle dish is for you! We love Dev Amadeo’s (of Plum) sugar technique for creating a crispy on the outside, but soft and succulent on the inside waffle. Oh, and the chili, cherry and maple combo for the syrup sounds like a match made in foodie paradise!

One of my favorite soup dumpling places ever. I think it’s better than Ding Tai Fung!

During undergrad, I had a huge phase with brussel sprouts. I stopped eating them after that because I got sick of them. It finally felt like it had been a long enough break, and yesterday I tried a new recipe.
- Brussel sprouts
- Olive oil
- Butter
- Garlic
- Salt and pepper
- Grated cheese (optional)
They were absolutely delicious. Definitely the best brussel sprouts I’ve ever made. Planning to make them for C this upcoming weekend.

First lunch of the new year at one of my favourite sushi restaurants. We went after church - key highlights included Tiff accidentally spilling soy sauce on Justin and Jeff talking about his list of entrepreneurial ideas (a.k.a. A wedding a capella group called “It’s Actually Sick). A lot of laughs today and I’m very thankful to have a group of friends like them.
Tomo Sushi didn’t have a lunch menu for the holidays which made it a little difficult to order something cost-effective. Chung and I ended up sharing a Snow White roll (my go to at this restaurant), a Go Train roll and a Dynamite roll. I haven’t been eating sushi as much lately, so it was nice to get a little refresh.

Experimenting with creating different kinds of fried rice recipes:
- Teriyaki chicken
- White rice
- Edamame
- Black beans
- Red pepper
- Broccoli
To be fair, I did cheat a little with the veggies by using an already mixed frozen veggie pack - but hey! Busy student’s gotta do what she’s gotta do.

What my salads look like these days! It’s a combination of:
- Spring Mix
- Fresh Parmesan cheese
- Red baby tomatoes
- Smoked tofu
- Alfalfa sprouts
- Japanese miso dressing
I actually have a new found love of salads since starting fourth year. They’re so quick and easy to make - healthy too.

I would normally do a mini review for new restaurants that I try, but this one isn’t worth talking about too much. The physical space of the restaurant was probably the best part, surprisingly spacious and had a clean design (out of place for London, Ontario). The prices seem to be pretty average and there’s actually a few surprising dishes on the menu: sesame ball tempura, deep fried corn and blueberry yam salad - to name a few.
I ordered the 8 pc. Big Boss Roll: House Special shrimp tempura, spicy crabmeat, avocado, lettuce in a roll topped salmon, cream cheese, yam flakes, green onion. It sounds like it would be filling right? But the roll was disappointingly small in size (as were their other dishes). The girls and I actually walked to Costco after for some after dinner junk food - poutine and ice cream.
