It is addictive! I think it’s sort of like the intense savouriness that is obtained by frying on high heat in animal fats like lard!

Well, I guess I’m not ready to quit HungryOnion.
I stopped by 3 newish establishments in Hyde Park today.
I purchased syrniki, borscht, stuffed peppers and 2 types of Pierogis from Wow Pierogis today. So far, we enjoyed the syrniki. The rest I froze or refrigerated for later.
A loaf of multigrain bread from Churis Bakery, a Brazilian bakery that also has some Canadian and French specialities, as well as sandwiches. This is the Second location of Churis Bakery in London, ON. The other location is located on Adelaide North.
I also tried 2 soups from Piping Kettle, the jambalaya soup and the butternut chicken tikka masala. We liked both soups and we will try more. Piping Kettle has 5 locations across London, ON.
Amigo’s Latin Bakery, which serves Colombian and Salvadoran breakfasts and bandeja paisa, looks good. I will try it at some point.

Old North location at Pall Mall and Colborne.
A cappuccino to go
An old fashioned donut ( could have been fresher. I think the supplier fries the donuts the day before, this coffee shop does not have its own baker)

Another Thai take-out from Thaifoon at Masonville Place.
We had the shrimp Street Style Pad Thai ($24) and vegetable Green Curry ($21) and fresh rolls. The menu selection is smaller than it was 2 years ago.

I liked the noodles as much today as I like Sai Thai in Lambeth or Meesai’s in Byron.
I need to revisit Sagi in Wortley Village, which has excellent Thai noodles.
