Toronto Core

I lived in Toronto for a few years quite a while ago and these are the things that shaped my memory of the great city. Inspired by Saigon Core and Toronto Core. Most of these places will be shut or changed entirely by now but this is a time capsule within my head.

  1. An evening at Roy Thomson Hall listening to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra
  2. Fried Chicken, Pulled Pork Bao and Duck Confit Banh Mi from Banh Mi Boys
  3. The far too spicy Kothu Roti from Saffron Spice Kitchen
  4. Gra Bong from PAI
  5. Mini donuts and a coffee from Little Nicky's
  6. A quiet evening in the Aquarium
  7. Sour cherry slice from Wanda's Pie in the Sky
  8. A baseball game or concert at the Rogers Centre with the shortest walk home
  9. A smoothie bowl from Calii Love
  10. Taco and pineapple salsa from Wilbur
  11. Lemon Meringue Pie from Patria
  12. Peanut Butter Sauce with Peanut Crumble from Sweet Jesus
  13. The banana leaf feast of Filipino food at Lamesa
  14. The apartment's view of the sunset over the lake
  15. The fog rolling in with the CN Tower poking through
  16. Madeleines from Peter Pan Bistro
  17. Hot Yoga at Yoga Tree
  18. Sitting on the balcony observing the vibrance of the wildly colourful Toronto sky
