(This is a sponsored post.) Day 2 of using my VISA for daily buys to see how my cash-back rewards add up. According to today’s purchases, I’m all about food (duh) and mundane errands squeezed in before work. I cut new keys ($11.76), bought some shoelaces ($5.59) and got an impromptu boot shine ($9.52). As usual, [...]
We met up with an old friend of mine (we went to elementary school together!), her husband and their two boys this weekend for a playdate. They suggested lunch at Hi Genki near their house. They go there a lot so you know it’s family friendly. It’s a curious restaurant located in the cafeteria [...] Thank goodness my mother-in-law is a whiz in the kitchen because eating in Grande Prairie would otherwise be a tastebud-numbing, revolving door of chain restaurants. I’ve been visiting this northern Alberta city of pickup trucks and fantastic beef jerky for a few years now, resigned to the most exciting culinary outing being Mah’s Restaurant. But [...] Every owner of a small independent restaurant in Calgary has a story. Their personal tales only make the food they pour their heart and soul into even more unique and special.

Baba Ka Dhaba most certainly falls into that category. Our friends Amit and Michelle, who discovered this strip-mall corner eatery, tried to set the scene well beforehand. “Don’t wear anything new/nice/expensive,” Amit [...] This month, I started a weekly column on CBC Radio’s afternoon show, The Homestretch. The focus is on hidden gems and holes-in-the-walls in Calgary. Tune into FM99.1 or AM1010 or live online every Wednesday at 5:20 p.m. Listen to the Tiffin review. This is my Calgary-style tiffin. A tiffin is basically made up of metal, flat-bottomed bowls [...]
To find the delicious flavours of Delicious Thai, follow the sound of a didgeridoo and the smell of burnt coffee past the crowd of rasta-hatted, hackey-sacking, patchouli-scented characters. The tiny Thai restaurant is in the same Kensington courtyard that usually spills over with customers from the Roasterie. You know where I’m talking about. Delicious Thai’s exterior [...] |
