harbourfront food festival

the taiwanese invaded! (ok sorry, hyperbole - they just turned out in droves for the weekend, down by the waterfront)... there was a pretty good turnout at the Taiwanese Festival despite the gloomy gray weather. we braved the rain and general ickiness to check out what's going on. (ignore general motif of ugly umbrella in all our photos) it was a fun trip, but not all the photos turned out good enough to post. i think i need therapy, my hand keeps shaking and blurring up the image. am i getting old?!

the food tent with all the yummy goodies...

murtabak! mmm...
oops - ran out of fishball soup and char bee hoon!
chinese cooking demo with bad ABC engrish translation
dreary toronto waterfront

eerie photo of the occluded CN tower behind...

ignore the ugly umbrella...

and then we stumbled upon art galleries and craft studios tucked around the corner from all the food and fun. did a walkthrough of the ceramic workshop, metalworks and glassworks - pretty cool stuff... edward took lots of geeky pics of the equipment and space, but i'll spare you guys the boredom here. just look at my pink face, hehehe :-)
