[TO] Alo’s Sister – Aloette

While I'm not really to splurge on Alo yet, I figured that Aloette would probably give me a sense of Chef Patrick Kriss's cuisine. Also, being the only Canadian restaurant on the list of World's 50 Best Restaurants, it is impossible to get a table at Alo without booking at least one month in advance. On the other hand, Aloette is a more down-to-earth and accessible!

[MTL] Not-so hidden gem of Italian cuisine – Nora Gray

Nora Gray has been on my list for quite a while. Ever since I decided that I'm moving to Toronto, it is time to start checking off the restaurants on my list. Nora Gray was one of the priorities. It opened in September 2011 (same month as I arrived in Montreal!), and is known as one of the best Italian restaurants, which does not only recognized by the locals, but also ranked as no. 17 for Canada's 100 Best!

[TN] A Food Guide of Tainan’s Yongle Market (台南永樂市場)

If Taiwan, in general, is a food paradise, then Tainan would be the capital where you can find the most authentic traditional Taiwanese food! Tainan, situated in the southern part of Taiwan and about 260km from Taipei, is often overlooked by tourists, but its laidback charm and gentle pace are what made the city appealing. Besides being known as Taiwan's cultural capital, Tainan is also known as the "city of snacks". The best part is that the vendors are all concentrated on one street, which is perfect to do a food crawl!
