This past weekend was the first T&T Waterfront Night Market. The night market came to Toronto from East Asia, via Richmond and Vancouver. This night market featured over 60 food and merchandise vendors, serving up an eclectic mix of treats including Taiwanese popcorn chicken, pineapple slush in hollowed out pineapples, tofuyaki, Thai desserts, bubble tea, Singapore beef jerky, and Filipino sago.
The signature items were the Tornado Potato, a jumbo potato cut into a long corkscrew and deep-fried, and the infamous Stinky Tofu... which is exactly what it's called.
Having the Night Market, the Taste of the Danforth, and the Festival of Beer on the same weekend certainly left many a liver crying.

On an imported slab of heat-retention stone from Australia, you cook your own meal. Looks like fun! However it might be more about the experience than anything else - we heard some not-so-good reviews from a friend recently. We'll try anything once though!
¤Kultura (King East - Furniture District) Heard a lot about Roger Mooking's restaurants - think we're more obsessed with going there because of the fact that he used to be in Bass is Base!
¤ Cafe Gilead (King East - Furniture District) Jamie Kennedy's stuff is usually pretty good so we want to try it. ¤ Guu (Church St - The Gaybourhood) This place is trendy, so some people go there for that reason alone, but we'd be heading there to see what "Japanese tapas" is all about.
Follow a couple of foodies around the city as they discover the best (and worst) of what Toronto's culinary scene has to offer.
