Review

I did #FoodieFriday with Toronto Common recently. We were invited to Eathai, which is a quaint restaurant near Coxwell station. The first thing we got to try were their Thai iced teas. The drink has a chai taste to it and is simply delicious. I recommend you try it at least once if you are ever in a Thai restaurant that serves it.

Afterwards, we were given an array of appetizers and main dishes to taste. My favourites were the Spicy Green Curry Chicken and Pad Thai. We weren't able to finish everything so I took the rest back to my boyfriend's place. My boyfriend obsessed over the Mango Salad. If you are a fruit person, give this dish a try. The Cashew Nut Sauce Chicken ended up being quite popular with him and his family.

Eathai has a variety of dishes that would appeal to everyone's palate (I know because my boyfriend is so picky with his food!). If you are ever in East York or live nearby, I say you should drop by and try this homely restaurant out.

If you are interested in a tasting event with Toronto Common x Eathai, let us know! If there are enough people interested, we might be able to make it happen!

The Thai Orchid is a family-styled restaurant across from the Westfield Carindale mall. Living up to it's name, this all purple restaurant serves traditional Thai dishes. All the dishes are fine, nothing that stands out to me till this day. It's overall a nice restaurant to bring your family to.

[Event] Toronto Food and Drink Market

Event: Toronto Food and Drink Market
Location: Direct Energy Centre, Exhibition Place
Date: April 10-12, 2015
Website: www.tofoodanddrinkmarket.com

The Toronto Food and Drink Market is originally known as the Good Food and Drink Festival. This event was a lot smaller than I expected. There were a few vendors and food trucks, with a couple of new businesses. Cooking classes with chefs were available for those who were interested as well. There were plenty of samples for attendees and everyone got to take home a bag full of yummy goodies.
