The smells of fresh baked
bread, steamed pork and sugar fill the air and the sound of Mandarin
Chinese fills my ears. Here I am at what seems to be the start of a bad
joke: “two Brits, a Singaporean, a South American and a group of
Canadians meet at a Chinese bakery…” As the talk begins topics like
slavery, Napoleon and sugar beets all come up in conversation while the
taste of egg tart tantalizes the tongue.
The scenario above could easily be misunderstood as any quote from
any travel blog or adventure narrative, but the reality is it was just
another Sunday here in the best city in the world, Toronto. As a local
and this city’s biggest fan I might be a little bit biased. So when an
acquaintance invited me on something called a “tasty tour” of the city,
there was no way I could decline!
Audrey Ooi is a talented young entrepreneur who started a city
‘tasting tour’ business,with her love of food and creativity locals and
tourist alike can get to know the products of local bakers, restaurants
and shops that much better. Though I have been to Kensington market,
hiding behind Toronto’s China-town, an uncountable amount of times I had
never seen it though Audrey’s eyes. Cupcakes at Cora’s, Wasabi truffles at the Chocolate Addict, churros at Panchos, and luxury marshmallow and chocolate at the Blue Banana
made me realize not just how multicultural Toronto is, but also no
matter how well you think you know a place there is always something new
to explore. I cannot think of a better way to spend a Sunday.
