I'm back and I'm craving brunch, the kind of comforting and wholesome brunch that can keep me sane in this snow. Just like this meal I had at cafe_neon a while back while attending an awesome event hosted by jojoinstameets Still thinking about that fish cake tho!

Keg Caesar salad to start from my prix fixe meal!

Mini pineapple rolls - light and soft pastry with real pineapple inside. It takes 2 days to make these yummy pineapple rolls. Chef Brian Kaiju Toronto makes these rolls from scratch - frying fresh pineapples and melting them into sauce on first day, then roll it into butter-made pastry the next day. These delicious pineapple rolls are only available during Chinese New Year. Drop by Kaiju Toronto today and try some!

How do you like your lobster cooked? I recently fell in love with steam hotpot - steaming seafood, like the lobster in the picture, in a 2-tier steamer. The result is more than juicy, tender, and naturally sweet lobster. The sweet lobster juice dripped to the lower level of the steamer, and you get a delicious bowl of soup / congee. If you want to try this new healthy and delicious hotpot, look no further than YuGuoYan in Richmond Hill - a new seafood restaurant that brings steam hotpot, the latest Hong Kong food trend, to Toronto.

These dumplings tasted way better this time, compared to last time at the Holt's Cafe, but what happened to the presentation?

When it gets just a little warmer and you need your ice cream fix with this jasmine tea ice cream at Kekou.

First meal of the year, it's gotta be sushi!

Another Shokugeki test to finish 2016. It is based on the idea of beef stew with multiple cuts of beef. Here I used veal belly, veal short ribs, and veal liver, plus a bunch of herbs and spices from my cupboard like Korean go chu jang and tarragon, ginger, and Vietnamese beef stew spice pack. Not bad! Wish I could find beef tripes and ox tails at Fresh Co. And a better camera.
