Joyce is a petite girl with a big appetite. She loves to eat. She would search for good food at star restaurants and neighbourhood gems. Joyce is not a picky eater but she definitely knows her food. Never shy about trying new things. Also an amateur photographer, Joyce practices her photography skills on food, as well as when she’s venturing out as a tourist of her own town.

A Taste of Aboriginal Food Culture

As part of the Olympic festivities, I was also invited to the Aboriginal Food Showcase at the Pan Pacific. It was the opening night of the Kla-howya exhibit at the hotel. This was my first encounter with Aboriginal food culture, so I had no idea what to expect.

Blue Water Cafe + Raw Bar feat. Unsung Heroes Festival

After doing the research for my last post, I was intrigued by some of the menu items. One of which was Blue Water Cafe's Unsung Heroes Festival that took place through to end of January. If my memory serves me right, I went to Blue Water once years ago, before my foodie years. At that time I didn't quite know how to enjoy good food. So when I got a hold of a $50 gift certificate for the restaurant, I invited a friend along and gave it another try.
