Food !

Although exams were over last week, I haven't been able to find the time to post because I had a jam packed full weekend. On the Wednesday after exams, I went to Go For Tea with a couple of my friends. We each ordered our own cake and a drink. I got a peach tea, which was amazing. It was extremely aromatic - I could smell the scent of peaches in the air even though I didn't have the cup to my lips. The fact that it was served in an adorable, almost vintage-like tea maker made the experience even more wonderful!

The cake list consisted mostly of cheesecakes, which I love. That said, I wasn't in the mood for any that day, so I ordered a Tiramisu instead. It was pretty good for a tea shop that didn't specialize in cakes. The marscapone was light, and the coffee sponge (They weren't lady fingers, unfortunately.) flavourful and airy. They were generous with the cocoa powder too. My friends ordered a cheesecake, albeit different kinds. If I remember correctly, the one on the right below is an orange lemon cheesecake , while the one on the left is a chocolate brownie cheesecake. I stole a small bite from them both, and my goodness - it was delicious. Not as good as the one from Ruelo, (A review I will save for a later date.) but they came close. The orange lemon cheesecake was extremely light, just the way I like my cheesecakes. The citrus and cheese flavours married each other perfectly, and there was something refreshing about it. As for the brownie cheesecake, although it was slightly heavier, it was still pretty good. The cheesecake was made perfectly - not too cheesy and not to sweet. My fork slid easily into the cake, and the bite I took was wonderful. Cheesecake with a scent of chocolate. While the citrus cheesecake was refreshing, the brownie cheesecake warmed my heart.

For some odd reason, I don't remember what I did on Thursday. On Friday however, some close friends of mine and I headed to the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) again. There is something that I love about museums - perhaps it is the refined and educated aura, or maybe it's just because I'm a bit history dork. Who knows? Anyway, we spent the day in the Roman Empire section and the European Movements exhibition. I had fun - those are my favourite exhibits in the whole museum. The museum was surprisingly crowded - there were school groups and families everywhere!

After a couple of hours browsing through the collections ROM offered, my friends and I hit the streets for something sweet. We originally planned to visit Nadege Patisserie, but the walk was too long. In the end, we decided to get some frozen yogurt instead. I mean, what better time to have frozen yogurt than in winter? You won't have to worry about it melting!

Lychee and mango frozen yogurt with mango and lychee bobas.

My week ended with even more food. On Saturday it was Korean BBQ, and Sunday was sushi night at home!

Until next time!
