Ever since T&T was acquired by Loblaw’s the quality has gone downhill. Unless you go to one of the old locations everything has gone down. Sure the place is cleaner but the food is blah. This is where Foody world comes into play. It’s like T&T but without all the corporate stuff. Just be careful of the hot food…

You know what I’m talking about. You’ve had a long week. You want to go out and relax with your family. So you go to Dim Sum and total go ham. Unforatnely all that grease and MSG is sinking you faster than Richmond. Have no fear! I got a couple tips that will help you get over the Dim Sum Hangover!
Here are my top 5 favourite snacks! Of course, it’s always changing depending on my mood, time of year and availability.
1. Lemon Tea: I love this stuff as a kid and I love it now. Is it total crap for you? Yes, but its still amazing! I had one every day when I was in Hong Kong.
2. Taiyaki: This stuff is amazing. It’s similar to the Japanese style but somehow Koreans do it better!
3. Korean Instant Ramen: You know I gotta give a shout out to instant ramen! But this isn’t any normal instant ramen. This is Korean instant ramen. SPICY, Korean instant ramen.
4. Pork Buns: Taste like childhood whether from the Mainland or HK they’re both amazing.
5.Matcha Icecream: Not only is this stuff my favourite Bubble Tea Flavor it goes great in pretty anything. Including Icecream.
Konbiniya: you gotta check this place out not only does it amazing Asian snacks from around the world AND in-house made Asian food it has Matcha Icecream. Recently this place has been stepping up its fanciness with Icecream it’s really good.
