Dear Readers, This is my last post on DelectablyChic! I am embarking on a new journey in life and will no longer be posting on this site. I will keep the URL live for people to read older posts and will still be active on social media under the DelectablyChic! handle (especially Instagram). Since last […]
Not a knock against them – I use it, and use it regularly, but anyone who claims Instagram is the worst form of social media, mental health-wise probably doesn’t use its sister company, Facebook enough. Or maybe I just have weird friends. In the past year or so, I have had to unfollow a bunch […]
The Canadian Opera Company’s (COC) Operanation is one of my favourite events of the year – especially its VIP dinner. Catered by 10tation Event Catering and held at the COC’s the Four Seasons Centre fo the Performing Arts, the meal was definitely, in some ways, “different.” The first thing I noticed when I walked into […]
SIAL 2017, was, as usual, overwhelming. So many brands not yet in the GTA, or even Ontario or Canada, period! Of course, there are brands which are already here, like Fontaine Santé, known for its hummus (they were sampling just about everything they had – including beet hummus (which isn’t available everywhere). And now, they […]
At a recent charity event, I bid on a set of cookbooks which included one called Fat Rice, featuring the cuisine of Macau (Fat Rice is also the name of a Chicago restaurant featuring food from the area). As my grandmother was from Macau, I was extremely intrigued by the very existence of the book […]
I had the privilege of attending the annual Fine Wine auction for the Canadian Opera Company (COC) on April 6. Held at their home, The Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, the evening featured delicious food courtesy of 10ation Event Catering and The Cheese Boutique (they’ve been providing delicious charcuterie and cheese spreads at […]
Wow, so many goodies at the spring One of a Kind Show this year! I was a little disappointed that my favourite spring artisan, Beverley’s Bakers (delicious butter tarts of all kinds) was not at the show this time around, but other favourites, including The Fishery and 3rd Floor Studio. In the meantime, I discovered […]
I grew up with strict dress codes. In fact, I wore a school uniform for seven years. I wasn’t allowed to wear make-up, save for grub day (when we were allowed to wear “normal” clothing for $1 or $2) and earrings were limited to studs and small hoops (“keepers”). No nail polish either. And guess […]
DelectablyChic! will (finally) be getting a makeover over the next few weeks, switching to a more “traditional” blog-like layout. As you probably have realized, DelectablyChic! is reporting LESS on fashion and food, and MORE on how the founder/webitor-in-chief views and feels about the world. Whether there’ll be further changes is yet to be determined, as […]
I’m really sick of the “anything goes” society seem to be moving towards to today – especially for appearance. Yes, I like that we don’t have to dress up as much, to the point that some clubs have either toned down their dress codes for formal dining, or, even CLOSED their most formal dining areas. […]
