A Food and Travel Blog about cooking, restaurants reviews, and my favourite places in other cities
The next item on the list that I have been wanting to make is dango, which is a sweet rice dumpling made with mochiko. I am not making any regular dango, but Shiba Inu Dango with face and its cute butt. You need only two ingredients to make the dough, and another two to make the syrup. Once the dough is form, you can use your creativity and imagination to create any shapes.

Saku in Vancouver is packed every night, and people can line up up to one hour to get a bite of the tonkatsu. In Toronto, Mr. Tonkatsu is the popular option for tonkatsu. There are various locations in Toronto, and we visited the one on Yonge Street in North York. I also heard that they also open one in Surrey. It features a variety of katsu sets, donburi, and soba. They also offer different proteins, such as pork, chicken, and fish. Similar to many similar stores, they provide free refills for rice, cabbage, and miso soup for all tonkatsu sets.

Near Toronto’s Chinatown, there is a famous Kensington Market, where has many independent cafes and Jamaican restaurants. I visited a few cafes there, and I think this one is worth to mention – Little Pebbles Cafe. It is a petit Japanese cafe with very limited seatings, but it was super busy when we visited on a weekend. There is a tiny menu above the counter, as well as a glass shelf filled with cakes and canelés.
