In conversations with both residents and tourists, a unanimous and widely recognised name emerged — Calgary Momo House! This local gem in the city offers authentic Nepalese cuisine and dishes showcasing the rich culinary tapestry of Nepal. ! Exciting! Right? Also, this place is popular for offering the best dumplings in Calgary.

Chinatown staple Diamond Bakery closes as owner retires, July 2, 2023

'Diamond Bakery has been a Calgary favourite and certainly a Chinatown go-to for BBQ pork buns, egg tarts and deep-fried pork dumplings,' said Ward 7 Coun. Terry Wong

A decades-long fixture in Calgary’s Chinatown is closing shop, as its owner celebrates moving into retirement. In a social media post, the Chinatown Business Improvement Area commended owner Henry Chan for his 30 years running the bakery. “Henry Chan is one of the kindest and most hard-working merchants you will find in Chinatown and we wish him all the best in his retirement,” they wrote. Ward 7 Coun. Terry Wong is a former executive director of the Chinatown BIA. He said Diamond Bakery will be missed, but that there will be an opportunity for a new business to make its home in Chinatown. “Diamond Bakery has been a Calgary favourite and certainly a Chinatown go-to for BBQ pork buns, egg tarts and deep-fried pork dumplings that we’re going to miss,” Wong said. “We wish the owner a great retirement and look forward to another great Chinatown cultural offering.” City council recently approved a plan that aims to grow the historic Chinatown while preserving the downtown area’s cultural heritage. That plan will involve new infrastructure development, including mixed-use residential-commercial buildings and public spaces, with developers needing to meet certain Asian esthetic requirements in their designs.

My go-to for Hong Kong bakery staples like pineapple buns, coconut and egg tarts, and cocktail buns. They had an even wider selection of when I was a kid: 缽仔糕, 白糖糕, fried curry beef bun, wedding pastries, and until the pandemic their selection of mooncakes. The original must-have was their large palmiers--the kind a kid should probably split in two but didn't because there was always the promise you'd have another next week.

"Staple" doesn't quite illustrate the institutional position, it was the oldest independent Chinese bakery in the city and provided a very specific sense of home for so many of us. 老板, his staff, and Diamond Bakery are an integral part of the story Calgary's Chinatown. We were all so lucky to have shared in their warmth.

Taste and Consistency for GingerFresh is Everything and, the commitment is real!

GingerFresh, a popular Indo-Chinese restaurant in Canada, has built a reputation for serving delicious and authentic cuisine. But for GingerFresh, it's not just about the taste, it's about ensuring that the taste and consistency in quality and texture are the best that they can be, every day, every time!

Here are some measures that the GingerFresh takes to live up to its top billing:

Setting up the High Benchmark for the Taste

GingerFresh sets a high benchmark for taste by using only the freshest and highest quality ingredients. The restaurant's chefs take the time to select the best ingredients, from the freshest vegetables to the finest spices, to ensure that every dish is bursting with flavour. The cuisine is renowned for its diversity in flavors, aromatic spices, and nutritional value. The use of natural blended herbs has set new benchmarks in taste and given fillip to the pleasing aroma too.

Focus on Authenticity

GingerFresh is passionate about serving authentic Indo-Chinese cuisine and this is reflected in its menu. The restaurant's chefs use traditional cooking methods and authentic spices to create dishes that are true to the cuisine's roots. The cuisine drives senses mad as one goes scurrying for water and superlatives in equal measure.

Believe in In-House Sauces

GingerFresh believes in making its sauces in-house, using only the freshest ingredients. This not only helps to ensure that the sauces are of the highest quality but also allows the restaurant to control the flavour and consistency of its dishes.

Interestingly, the sauces are a blend of Chinese soya sauces and Indian spicy mixes that make them part of uniquely authentic Indo-Chinese food. The restaurant has received tremendous feedback on tickling the tastebuds with a unique taste that sets it apart in the niche industry.

Follow the Best Process

GingerFresh follows a rigorous process to ensure that the taste and consistency of its dishes are the best that they can be. The restaurant's chefs are trained in the art of cooking and are held to the highest standards. From the way the ingredients are prepared to the way the dishes are cooked, every step is taken to ensure that the taste and consistency are perfect. The quality standards followed by the restaurant while cooking are impeccable while the presentation is out-of the-world. They ensure that the delivery is prompt and within the stipulated timeline so that the guests are not kept hungry for long!

Repeat the Best Practices Every day, Every time

GingerFresh is committed to repeating its best practices every day, every time, to ensure that its customers receive the same delicious and authentic experience, every time they dine at the restaurant.

The chefs are trained to deliver the same experience that has made the name in Indo-Chinese food and propelled it to new heights. GingerFresh serves the yummiest versions of trusted recipes with vinegar and soy ruling the roost on several palates. The standard practices in serving hakka noodles, schezwan appetizers, or plain old dumplings are the same.

Conclusion

GingerFresh's commitment to taste and consistency is what sets it apart from other Indo-Chinese restaurants in Canada. From the freshest ingredients to the in-house sauces, the restaurant is dedicated to providing its customers with the best possible dining experience.

Many of the gourmets have already visited and ordered from GingerFresh in recent months, and the feedback has been nothing short of sensational.

What do you think makes GingerFresh's dishes so delicious? Have you tried any of the restaurant's signature dishes? Let us know in the comments below.

14 Valentine’s Date Ideas That Aren’t Takeout or a Prix-Fixe Meal

Valentine’s Day is a lot like New Year’s Eve. You make grand plans, set high expectations, and then get rushed through your overpriced set menu at a restaurant that’s overcapacity and wish you’d just stayed home in bed. As long as you’re smooching someone you love when the clock hits midnight, you should be happy at both holidays—but that doesn’t mean you can’t do your best to avoid all the decidedly disappointing clichés. From psychic readings to steamy audiobooks, here are 14 date ideas to inspire your February 14th plans.

Splurge on an OTT Romantic Staycation  

From February 8th to 24th, Hotel X Toronto is transforming their 27th floor nook into The Love Nest, a space for Instagram photos and sweet talking, complete with twinkly lights, rose gold balloons, fresh roses and a view of the skyline. For $499 per couple, you’ll receive a chilled bottle of  bubbly, a fondue assortment to gently feed your S.O. and 90 minutes of one-on-one time in the Love Nest. Then, choose between a night stay in a luxury room or a 3-course candlelit dinner for two.

To keep turning up the heat, get in touch with the the hotel’s dedicated Romance Concierge, who will help you book a personalized photo shoot, a romantic film in the private screening room, a couple’s massage, private yoga or an in-suite musical accompaniment. If you’re after an evening of private intimacy, you aren’t going to find anything more luxurious than this.

Download a Steamy AudioBook 

What sets the mood better than smooth jazz? Birthday Suit, the latest audiobook from New York Times bestselling romance novelist, Lauren Blakely. It has a shirtless man on the cover, it’s set in a chocolate shop, and when the female protagonist describes the hunky object of her affection, she says, “If Leo were chocolate, I’d easily add up the ingredients that comprised him. With a touch of pepper and a dash of spice, he’d be a strong, full-bodied dark chocolate, bordering on bittersweet. You’d pair him with a rich red wine and enjoy him by the fireplace.”

Organize a Themed At-Home Meal & Movie

Example: Watch Ratatouille and make ratatouille, watch Roma and try your hand at tortas de tamales, or watch Julie and Julia, and cook a couple of courses from Julia Child’s catalogue of Provencal recipes. If you’re interested in really committing, you could watch A Quiet Place and do your best to prepare a meal in complete silence—or watch Bird Box and eat blindfolded.

Drink & Dine Under the Sea

Seafood is an aphrodisiac, after all. Both Toronto and Vancouver aquariums are hosting Valentine’s Day events this year: Toronto’s Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada has a three-course dinner (bottle of wine included) by Daniel and Daniel for $275 per couple, and the Vancouver Aquarium is hosting an After Hours Valentine’s Affair that, for $35 per person, lets you explore the galleries with a drink in hand.

Serenade Your Sweetie at Private Karaoke

Book a room at your local karaoke lounge and sing the night away with bottles of Soju. Or, invest in a Rose Gold Wireless Bluetooth Karaoke Microphone for an at-home-sing-along session. (It’s $36 and available on Amazon Prime.) 

Attend the World’s Longest Valentine’s Day Party

Bumble, the female-focused dating app all your single friends are obsessed with, is bringing their digital experience offline and into real life. They’re taking over Toronto’s Bangarang Bar on February 14 from 9PM to late as part of their global Valentine’s Day party. The festivities start in New Zealand, and will travel through Australia, India, Europe and the Americas. There will be complimentary snacks, drinks, games and a top Toronto DJ—and the only thing you need to get in is your Bumble app.

Build a Pillow Fort & Camp Inside

Collect some sheets, a couple of chairs, all of pillows in your house—and set to work re-creating the basement forts you constructed as a kid. A string of lights will make the space especially Pinterest-worthy, but a few carefully placed candles will do just the trick. Then, bring the camping vibes inside with s’mores made over a gas stove and a steaming mug of mulled wine or hot chocolate. You could even crack a window to create a chilly, outdoor adventure environment.

Enrol in a Couples Cooking Class 

Couples cooking class events pop up in all major cities on February 14. Why? Pop culture has made kitchens out to be a very romantic space. Usually, they aren’t—but when you don’t have the do the planning, food prep or dishes, maybe cooking together can be flirty and fun. St. Lawrence Market is hosting a cinema and craft beer themed culinary evening that costs $275 per couple, and will have you making Hand Made Ramen Noodles with Lobster Lemongrass Broth.

Take a Trip to Your Friendly Neighbourhood Psychic 

Do the stars line up in your romantic relationship? There’s only one way to find out.

Photography via Instagram/@trafiqmain

Embark on an Ultra-Specific Food Crawl

Pick your poison: tacos, oysters, dumplings, desserts. Find something you love to eat, then travel around the city indulging in it at multiple locations. If you live on the West Coast, take advantage of the Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival, which has the city’s best chocolatiers, pastry shops, bakeries, cafes and ice cream makers coming together to serve their take on the humble hot chocolate.

Participate in a Murder Mystery 

Solving a murder might not be what you had in mind for V-Day but why not give it a shot? Toronto’s interactive entertainment troop Mysteriously Yours is hosting a dinner event at the Chelsea Hotel that will set you back $119 per person, and at Fort Calgary there’s a Death by Chocolate themed evening that’s almost a little too frightening for the holiday.

Get Stoned & Paint Something 

It’s both the activity and the gift. You can DIY this date at home, or, purchase a $70 per couple ticket to this Toronto event where music, beverages, snacks and a paint brush will be provided.

Seek Out a Creative Dining Experience

Futuristic laneway sushi? Head to Toronto’s recently opened TORA. Dinner with a side of indoor surfing? Head to Montreal’s Oasis Surf. A speakeasy with magicians and a secret burlesque room? Head to Toronto’s Coffee Oysters Champagne, where you’ll find the 1920’s inside a champagne cellar. Search the Internet for something unique, and give it a try.

Revisit Your Youth & Go to Prom 

Vancouver’s annual People’s Prom is described as “the prom you never had in high school: it’s a community-oriented, anti-capitalist, queer, cross-dressing, gender-bending, bike loving, slow dancing, big dress wearing, good time.” Since 2000, the event has been raising money for radical resistance, using their proceeds to “support projects that are often unable to obtain mainstream sources of funding.”
