Monster Jam in Edmonton! 🏁🏁🏁

Our toddler LOVED his experience at Monster Jam including the morning Pit Party where you can get up close to see the trucks, and the actual show with all the tricks & racing. 🔥 His favourites were the Spider-Man & Sparkle Smash trucks! Crazy to see how massive these 12,000-lb trucks and their wheels are! And how skilled & brave the truck drivers are. 🫨

Pro-tip if you want photo ops at the Pit Party, you can mostly avoid lineups by grabbing a photo from the side of the truck rather than the main photo area! 📸

Thanks for hosting us at the show, Monster Jam.

You can still get tickets to Saturday @ 6 p.m. or Sunday, August 30 morning Pit Party & Noon show: https://www.rogersplace.com/monster-jam-august-29-30-2026/

TORONTO'S BEST JAPANESE COFFEE SHOP & BAKERY is NEO COFFEE BAR, with five locations across Canada's biggest city.

Featuring flavours from Japan, using organic ingredients, made fresh in-house, we loved our multiple stops into Neo Coffee Bar during our recent visit to Toronto!

Their $12.95 Japanese "sandos" are light, soft, and fluffy, bursting with delicious smoked salmon and herbed cream cheese (Smoked Salmon), beef pastrami, tangy sauerkraut, and citrusy yuzu mayo (Tokyo Pastrami), or creamy egg salad (Egg Salad). It made for a perfect pre-concert and pre-airport breakfast!

Every bite of Neo Coffee Bar's famous Cookie Choux was also perfect! Crispy outside, rich creamy inside. Decadent but light at the same time lol.

They also have an expansive Japanese green tea matcha menu including the Matcha Berry Latte I tried (large size, $9.25). My friend Diane enjoyed her drink order off of their summer seasonal special menu, an Espresso Fizz (espresso soda with hint of yuzu - $6.95).

Interestingly at NEO Coffee Bar, there's a no laptop or tablet policy weekdays after 5 p.m. and all day weekends, a rule that helps maintain the ambiance that defines their space. (Phones are welcome lol and happily used to capture photos of our beautiful cafe experience).

They just celebrated their 11th birthday this August 2026 and it looks like they're not slowing down with expansions.

Thanks to my friend Jessica for this recommendation! Instant and easy Toronto cafe favourite.

I've spent almost two weeks in Toronto for work + play this summer and the food has been phenomenal! Watch for an updated Where to Eat in Toronto Dining Guide on my blog soon.

ONE OF THE BEST CARIBBEAN RESTAURANTS IN CANADA is found at Miss Likklemore's off King St. and Spadina Ave. in downtown Toronto. Miss Likkelmore's is considered Canada's first "haute" (finer dining) Caribbean-inspired restaurant, born as a pandemic pop-up using family recipes with a fancy twist.

We really loved the Crab XO ($48) at Miss Likklemore's, snow crab with carnaroli rice, toasted coconut, and cilantro. The Likkle Patties ($19) are three patty pieces filled with braised oxtail and spicy beef, with a spicy fermented mango pepper sauce. And we shared the honey glaze with chili rub Tempura Okra ($18) and a side of Grilled Hispi Brussel Sprouts ($18) with kuchela butter, pepper aioli and plaintain furikake. All fabulous!

You will find beautiful dishes packed with lots of flavour, spices and heat at Miss Likklemore's! The drinks also came out so fast and pretty. I appreciate that they also include some storytelling of rum in many regions around the world in their drinks booklet. Decor includes light fixtures from the Caribbean islands! The host told us many people see those when they come in and feel like they’ve been transported back home. 🫶🏻

Thanks to Rochelle of Feed the Soul YEG for this Toronto Black-dining recommendation.

BUILD YOUR OWN SOUP 🍲 + ENJOY ALL DAY DIM SUM 🥟 at the super cute Lion Dance-decorated 🦁🏮 Noodle Cheer restaurant in west Edmonton!

My friend and I tried the new-ish Noodle Cheer on Winterburn Road and were so surprised when we stepped in to find all of the lion dance decor from art on the wall (including real lion dance. costumes), to all of the cutlery and dishware!! SUPER cute.

Noodle Cheer specializes in customizable noodle bowls! Choose a Small ($14.95) or Large ($18.95) or a Stir-Fry (not soup - $19.95). There's about a dozen soup bases to choose from, eight noodle options, and your choice of four toppings. I went with a Large Tom Sum Soup with Thick Rice Noodles, Sliced Marble Beef, Spam, Quail Eggs, and Seaweed. I really loved my soup! It felt like high quality ingredients and the broth was just the perfect balance of sour, salty and spicy.

My friend got the Large Satay Soup with Ramen Noodles, Sliced Thin Sirloin Beef, Beef Brisket, Wontons, and Soy Egg. The soup was not quite the satay she was imagining, but she still enjoyed it!

We appreciated that the customization menus were laminated and tables had washable markers to make the menus reusable and more sustainable.

From their Dim Sum Menu (and current special), we also shared a delicious Turnip Cake appetizer for $7.99.

My toddler is OBSESSED with lion dancing so I actually ended up asking if they could sell me some of their bowls and plates and they did! lol they are super deep and we are very happy lol.

This is a wonderful far west Edmonton option for very good build-your-own noodle soup and all day dim sum dishes. Quick and friendly service, and of course, the very cute decor.

FISH & CHIP FRIDAYS FUNDRAISER! 🐟🍟

Save the dates for the last two FISH & CHIP FRIDAYS at SABOR Restaurant in Edmonton Downtown - August 21 & 28 starting at 11 a.m. until sell-out, and trust me, it will sell out!

Fish, chips, and a drink is just $15 and 100% of proceeds are donated to charity! The first two Fish & Chip Fridays so far this August has raised nearly $10,000 for Ronald McDonald House Alberta and the last two Friday events will be donated to 880 CHED Santas Anonymous!

I helped capture the frenzy of last Fish & Chips Friday and it was so fun to meet people who were trying it out for the first time, people who had been coming for years (sometimes weekly every August), also people who order for their office! (generosity!)

Line-ups start around 10:30 a.m. (or earlier). The demand this summer has been REALLY high, so if you don't get there early enough (like... arriving at 11:30 a.m. does not guarantee you'll get in before it sells out 🥹). If you go with friends, send the friend with the most flexible schedule to line-up for the gang lol. 😅

The fish and chips are excellent, crispy (fish), well-seasoned (chips), and the cause is fantastic. Don't miss Aug. 21 & 28!

Enjoy.
