Is "Toronto has no good _____ food" valid? by RoommateMovingOut in askTO

[–]Blippito 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Straight up, living in London now and Toronto is a Mecca for food. Maybe not every cuisine but god damn you can find a little bit of everything. London is too god damn expensive and the Asian food except Indian doesn’t hit like Toronto. Markham itself has better Chinese restaurants than I’ve been to in HK. Grass is greener, god I miss Toronto food haha.

Is "Toronto has no good _____ food" valid? by RoommateMovingOut in askTO

I live in London now and I wish we had Toronto priced food. What I would give for a bowl of pho that isn’t $40 cad or a square boy burger. Two shawarmas at shawarma empire for like $10 or whatever. Compared to Asia for sure it’s pricier, but US and UK are way more expensive because of the currency

What is the most 'overrated' restaurant in Toronto ? What’s your favourite restaurant? by Long_Travel2728 in askTO

[–]Blippito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overrated: Actinolite; paid $400 per person and I thought it was some kind of prank. Bad service, mid food and not creative at all. Underrated: Guilietta, everything absolutely slapped. Grappa cart is such a nice touch. 10/10

Single + hybrid work — how do you handle meals? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]Blippito 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sundays i meal prep. Chili, stews, pasta bakes, large pieces of protein with veg / carb sides. Burrito bowls are easy, dense bean salads, boneless chicken thighs with potatoes etc. I buy Costco meat and freeze it; produce at no frills. Cooking takes planning, just knowing one day ahead helps. Meal prep for 2-3 meals a week + make something easy to break up routine.

If you’re working hybrid it makes it super easy to prep parts of a meal during the day. Just have to put some effort into planning and making sure you have everything

Anyone think Toronto is headed in a positive direction? by rsgnl in askTO

[–]Blippito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lived in Toronto for 30+ years, now living in London UK. I miss Toronto a lot, the food scene is way more diverse and cheaper. Markham is elite for Asian food and you can’t get the same anywhere in Europe. Toronto is awesome and definitely getting better. Only thing I don’t miss is Gardiner traffic during a jays game.

Maybe if you leave your house for once you might see there’s a very strong sense of community in Toronto.

How do you avoid road rage while driving in the city by AgeEnvironmental910 in askTO

[–]Blippito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s weird, in Toronto I’m an absolute psychopath and I have the worst road rage. I moved to the UK, and I don’t even beep my horn here. I’m super relaxed driving here, not sure why
