Last month, I found myself at City Hall for a job interview, which ended at around noon. Hungry and mildly excited afterwards, I ventured off around the area to eat lunch. Fortunately, Veg-In YYC was very close to City Hall! The first I heard of Veg-In YYC was in Instagram. I was elated to find that there was […]

Burgers and (over-the-top) Milkshakes at REGRUB
REGRUB (RE:GRUB) is a small eatery along the Beltline that is quite famous for their extreme milkshakes with crazy toppings! So, this restaurant’s name is puzzling to me. Their website title is #REGRUB, they refer to themselves as RE:GRUB, the restaurant says RE:GЯUB, and their Facebook page says REGRUB. WHICH IS IT?? We came to […]

A Delicious Meal at Mamak Dang Malaysian Fusion
Mamak Dang Malaysian Fusion offers excellent Malaysian food and service in a Malaysian-styled eatery! We arrived at Mamak Dang on a Thursday afternoon, and it just finished the lunch hour rush so there were hardly anyone inside. This worked to our advantage because we had the full attention of the staff and chef! 😀 Once […]

A Very Filling Pakistani Dinner at Mirchi
Every time I walk along 8th Street on the way to 17th Avenue, I always pass by Mirchi on 12th Avenue, a seemingly popular Pakistani cuisine restaurant on the Beltline. Tonight, I was able to finally try this eatery! We came to Mirchi for dinner (on a Saturday), and was surprisingly full. It’s a small, […]

It’s Happy Hour at Goro + Gun (Goro and Gun)
Goro + Gun (Goro and Gun) apparently serves one of the best ramens in Calgary, but also has a pretty mean happy hour menu! In this visit to Goro + Gun, we decided to check out their happy hour menu, which were all $5 (even the drinks)! We ordered the veggie tempura, edamame, ramen sliders, […]
