Flipp’n Burgers Kensington had so much hype but my visit was pretty mediocre. I’ve heard so much about this place through people and social media before so it’s always been in my food bucket list in Calgary.

Vegan Pizza Goodness at Bow Tie Pizza
Bow Tie Pizza is the “best dressed pizza in town” and I will have to agree with them! One of the owners of Bow Tie Pizza, Dustin, contacted me asking if I wanted to try their vegan pizza. Of course, I cannot refuse pizza, especially if it was vegan & complimentary—and so, I said yes! Bow […]

Freshly-baked Japanese Pastries at Oguraya Bakery

After going to the Calgary Greek Festival 2016, my cousin and I wandered around the area, and found this small bakery tucked across the Greek Orthodox Church. When we went in, it looked so dilapidated […]
