		<description><![CDATA[Crown Princess Fine Dining opened down the road (1033 Bay Street, Toronto) earlier this week, and my colleagues and I decided to check out the place for dim sum today. I had seen contractors working on the place for the past 2 months and was really curious to find out if the place would be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Niagara Gold from the Upper Canada Cheese Company is the cheese that Oka aspires to be. Its flavor is stronger, yet more nuanced and longer-lasting. It is a more interesting and more satisfying treat than either regular Oka or Oka Classic. “Niagara Gold is an Oka-style semi-soft, washed rind cheese fashioned after recipes developed by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I tried a new Cantonese restaurant in Markham yesterday called Mong Kok (like the neighborhood in Hong Kong). It’s located in the plaza on the southwest corner of Kennedy &#38; Highway 7 (at 8360 Kennedy Road), and when I went it was only its third day in operation. When I say new, I mean very [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have at least two friends for whom “food is just fuel.” One tends to look at the world through a scientific lens, trained in his profession to trust only that which is based on solid, peer-reviewed scientific study. The other just inexplicably doesn’t care, though it may be from living too long in rented [...]]]></description>

There’s a time and place for fast food, even if it’s of the sushi variety, but when one is looking for the real deal and looking for excellence, [...]]]></description>

Yes, it’s the disgusting slimy stuff that grows in dark, damp places in the house. Yes, it’s the stuff that causes allergic reactions in people in old buildings. Yes, it’s part [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Preparing one’s own sushi and sashimi is a pleasure. It’s a good deal price-wise compared to eating out, and the act of prepping the fish, slicing it, and presenting it nicely on the serving platter is a very calming, relaxing experience. The enjoyment of the food at the end is, of course, a huge plus [...]]]></description>
