Sorry for the ridiculously long hiatus. We have not had much time to write on our blog in the last year and a half. We are both healthcare workers and haven’t had too much free time.

They have a large and big dining room, with some private rooms available for booking. The restaurant ..read more

I was approached a few months ago by Downtown Red Deer Business Association to do a campaign to help promote the Downtown Red Deer Restaurant scene. You can read a bit more about the promotion here. YYCfoodjunkie, a Calgary food blogger, was also doing a similar promotion to entice Calgarians to pay a visit to Red Deer! I was really excited to participate in this; Red Deer holds a close place to my heart. As some of you might know, I was born in Red Deer, and moved to Edmonton for school. My family still lives in Red Deer, so I do go back often (or at least I used to, I can’t remember the las ..read more

 10079 109 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5J 0J7 -Leduc Splash Poke is one of my favourite places to eat poke! To be fair, we only live a block away from Splash (Downtown), so we’ve often headed there for an easy dinner.
