When I was working at Husky during my internship last year, I frequented Holy Grill on 10th Ave for lunch, just around the corner from Posto, which I never had the chance to try it. Today, during the lunch hour, I decided to finally try Posto Pizzeria and Bar. My cousin and I arrived at […]

Sushi Hanami is a Favourite for Japanese & Korean Food
Sushi Hanami is a restaurant near MRU that has become a family (and my) favourite for filling Japanese and Korean food. Because Mount Royal University is their next door neighbour, Sushi Hanami is quite a popular eatery for students nearby. One of my friend who goes to MRU introduced me to this place. It’s also […]
Monogram Coffee in Altadore is The Most Hipster Cafe in Calgary
In all honestly, Monogram Coffee in Altadore is the most hipster cafe in Calgary. Everything seems hipster: the obscure location in southwest, the hole-in-the-wall venue, the wood decor, the incandescent lightbulbs (maybe?) and the homemade almond-cashew milk. And I am in heaven~ I like to consider myself to be a bit of a hipster: vegan, […]

Diner Fare with a Twist at Burger 320 in Kensington
After spending a day in Kensington, I was hungry for food and stumbled upon an eatery I haven’t tried before: Burger 320. Burger 320 offers typical diner fare (think burgers, fries, milkshakes), but with a twist. The Calgary-born owner, Chef Mario, translates his Italian heritage and Prairie beginnings to his menu. For example, the Cavallari […]
Organic Coffee at Higher Ground Cafe
If you’re a coffeephile and caféphile like me, you will love Higher Ground Cafe in Kensington. Aside from Inglewood and 17th Avenue, Kensington completes the trio of Calgary’s “hipster neighbourhoods.” These are centres of hipster culture and arts in Calgary, and where young people flock for fad foods. Higher Ground isn’t one of those fads. […]
Sso Yummy is a Hidden Korean Gem in Chinatown
On my quest to find little gems in Chinatown, I stumbled upon this Korean food stall hidden in the basement of the one of the street malls called Sso Yummy. Sso Yummy is obsurely located and you wouldn’t find it if you just look from the outside. There are no signs whatsoever outside indicating its […]
