Absolutely lovely breakfast experience with my brother and sister-in-law at the shiny new @driphouseottawa Mechanicsville location at 121 Parkdale. They even accommodated my outrageous request for banana ricotta pancakes (offerings were banana Nutella and berry ricotta, both with maple syrup). 😍 Looking forward to going back!

Lo-Lo’s was higher on my list of Vegas dining destinations than any celebrity chef place so I dragged my luggage there in 30°C (it’s a dry heat they say). And it was as awesome as I had hoped… totally worth waiting an hour in the heat!

First time visiting Pho Tuan! The bún bò Huế was nice and flavourful, although less spicy and more chewy than others we’ve had. Gỏi cuốn (summer rolls) were super fresh but skimped on herbs. Will have to return for the bún chả Hà Nội, which looked pretty awesome!

When the post-curling lunch with @aurorasolarinc teammates is so big it doesn’t fit on the table! Grilled “sea bass” (robalo?) table d’hote with a generous and tasty salad, bread rolls, a pastel de nata, and an espresso to finish. The pastel was heated in the oven so it was crispy. Nice touch! 😍

Made this delicious Shoyu Ramen the other night and it turned out great! The recipe is a recent one from @pickuplimes excellent plant-based YouTube channel. The broth is fantastic and the @officialfarmboy fresh ramen noodles were perfect! This was her husband's recipe and now I'm looking forward to trying her Vancouverite sister's ramen recipe!
