…NOT!!! I’m no influencer. I’m pretty much just some person from Toronto who runs a blog – just like hundreds of others in the city. I don’t even get invitations to the so-called “coolest” parties. I mostly apply for media passes or pay to attend as an attendee (I’d say it’s about 50-50 right now. […]
Chopped Canada’s fourth season started on Food Network Canada on September 3. Mystery ingredients for various courses premiere included haggis, mountain yam root, gai lan (Chinese mustard greens) and fruit ring cereal (i.e. Froot Loops – YUCK!!!). For my meal idea, I’ve decided make a (fake/fantasy) main course out of the round 2 basket, consisting […]
As a child, I wanted a “proper” Christmas, which we never really had. Sure, we put up a tree and I attended Catholic and Anglican schools, but I’m not sure if not celebrating the holiday the way one sees it in movies and books is because my parents are from Hong Kong or because December […]
The One of a Kind Show kicked off Thursday at the EnerCare Centre (formerly known as the Direct Energy Centre) at Exhibition Place. For those of us looking for holiday items, especially items to add to the tree (or, if you’re like me, for the tree – my tree doesn’t go up until the first […]
Once again, I had the opportunity to attend the VIP event at this year’s Gourmet Food & Wine Expo. Some old favourites are back, as noted in an earlier post (and some were missing, as well, such as long time attendee, Hank Daddy’s BBQ). Of course, I saw the wonderful people at Muskoka Lakes Wineries […]
One of DelectablyChic!’s favourite events of the year, the Gourmet Food & Wine Expo (not to be confused with the Food and Wine Festival, which was held earlier this year) starts on Thursday with a VIP party and continues until Sunday at the Metro Convention Centre North Building. Many old favourites are returning, including Magic […]
The National Women’s Show Toronto edition was held Friday through Sunday at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. As usual, there were exhibitors from many industries, ranging from fashion and beauty to food, travel and more. In addition, there were demonstrations and fashion shows. All in all, the event was a great deal of fun – […]
DelectablyChic! will be covering this year’s National Women’s Show, to be held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre starting this Friday. In addition to celebrity appearances, cooking demonstrations, samples, fashion shows (including one featuring Toronto firefighters!), there are going to be over 450 exhibitors including Holy Cannoli, Sabra Dipping Co., Windfall Brides and more. Montreal-based […]
The first-ever Toronto Food & Wine Festival was held at Evergreen Brickworks between Friday, September 18 and Sunday, September 20. I have to admit that the event was a bit more fun when it was known as the “Delicious Food Show.” It felt a little smaller this year, without many of the vendors from last […]
Today is my birthday. Incidently, it is also DelectablyChic!‘s birthday. Five years ago today, the two year old Prospere Magazine became DelectablyChic!. Though there were a couple of posts which went live before September 1, 2010, the first “official” post was a restaurant review of Cantine, located on Avenue Road, just north of Bloor. What […]
