Had Mama Ramen for the first time over the weekend at a Lunar New Year celebration by AsiaFest YEG and really enjoyed it! 🥰

This small Edmonton business specializes in make-your-own ramen kits and onigiri (Japanese rice ball snacks, my fav!) and regularly sell at the Old Strathcona Farmers' Market and Bountiful Farmers' Market. I enjoyed my spicy salmon and pork chashu onigiri and spicy pork ramen! Great handmade noodles and loved the ramen eggs too. You're encouraged to pre-order online for pick-up at the markets. They've got a new customer in me!!

Learn more and try them out: https://www.mamaramen.ca/
(wait for the website to update with new order pick-up dates each week!)

Since my previous favourite local ramen kit maker Kasey Ramen opened their restaurant space (Menya Mori), I think Mama Ramen certainly fills a great at-home ramen need!

Happy Lunar New Year!
Chúc Mừng Năm Mới 🥳
Excited for my Year (of the Snake). 🐍
And building on holiday traditions with Benjimin.

Wishing you a great year too. The wood snake characteristics are said to include transformation, reflection, mysteriousness, intelligence, balance, and ambition. 💚 I hope that is meaningful and inspiring to you for this coming year.

Had a wonderful weekend leading a sold-out Chinatown Food Crawl as part of my Chinatown Chow Down City of Edmonton Vibrancy project!

Truly grateful to everyone and anyone who spends their time and dollars in Edmonton's Chinatown, like the 30 folks on this tour. We visited four Chinatown eateries (Hong Kong Bakery for Asian treats, China Marble Restaurant for Cantonese dishes, Van Loc for Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwiches, and Little Bon Bon Ice Cream for Asian-inspired ice cream scoops), heard from business owners, shared some Chinatown history, talked about the challenges the neighbourhood is facing and how our visitation can support its vibrancy, and more!

You can learn more about the Chinatown Chow Down here: www.chinatownchowdown.ca. It's a project that aims to increase visitation and vibrancy to the neighbourhood, supporting local business owners, through three food-focused initiatives and if you don't get tickets to the organized events you can still participate using the self-guided culinary passport for a chance to win food prizes!

Here's just a few shots from Janice Saxon, who beautifully captured the day, which coincided with the Chinatown Business Association 華埠及地區商會's Lunar New Year Celebrations, so this group had some bonus lion / dragon dance entertainment and extra good luck for the Year of the Snake. 🐍

Sometimes I feel a bit broken record-y returning to the same food spots all the time but when you love it you love it! I was meeting a friend visiting from Australia last week and was eager to suggest HanJan, one of my favourite Korean restaurants in Edmonton, as a potential catch-up spot. It did not disappoint of course!

We shared:
✨ Bossam - pork belly lettuce wraps
✨ Jaeyuk Bokkum Udon noodles with spicy pork and kimchi
✨ Gamja Tang - spicy, hearty fall off the bone pork soup with potatoes
✨ Strawberry Bingsu - shaved ice dessert with fresh strawberries, ice cream and condensed milk

Hanjan has three locations - Whyte Ave, South, and Oliver (Wîhkwêntôwin ᐄᐧᐦᑫᐧᐣᑑᐃᐧᐣ Downtown). We were downtown!

This restaurant is one of my "Edmonton Food Faves"—a list of favourite eateries in the city I co-wrote with fellow food writer Sharon Yeo: https://edmontonfoodfaves.ca/

Finding great food in the Mighty Peace Region in and around Peace River in Northwest Alberta! 💛

Here’s a few suggestions for your next visit, from my work trip up to the area with Mighty Peace Tourism.

1️⃣: The Peace River Brewing Company! This brewery and distillery has a delicious baked brie, tortilla salad bowl, and nachos—plus cocktails using their own gin and vodka, and of course, popular craft beer! 🍻 Their building actually used to be the original liquor distributor of Northern Alberta back when alcohol sales were managed by government.

2️⃣: Kita North. This awesome Japanese restaurant in the town centre has great cuts of sashimi and a wide selection of rolls including a tasty volcano roll with spicy tuna and scallop, a more traditional Futomaki roll plus you can get Chinese food here too (small town Asian restaurants! lol)

3️⃣: Northern Dough in Grimshaw! I’m calling it Northern Alberta’s best bakery. 🤩 Everything is baked fresh in-house daily. Plan your trip around doughnut days and grab their croissant sandwiches + specials.

4️⃣: Pizza Haven in the Town of Fairview. This classic Alberta restaurant has been a family favourite in the community for 40+ years.

5️⃣: The Hines Creek General Store for housemade pepperoni and jerky!

We also enjoyed our eggs benny and potato pancake breakfast at Dunvegan Inn & Suites. 🍳 If you’re headed to Nampa area, Nampa Sunrise Café is always a cute and tasty stop. 🌻 J’s Java Domain is an awesome little cafe in Peace River. ☕️ The burgers and milkshakes from What The Chuck won’t disappoint. 🍔 And Board 'n' Barrel is easily the best restaurant in the region! 😋

If you've never tried the famous 'THE BACON' dish at TZiN Wine & Tapas in Edmonton Downtown, I highly recommend it!! This tiny wine and tapas bar rotates their menu offering often, but the signature pork belly with apple maple balsamic compote, apple mayonnaise, and Calvados gastrique has been a constant.

I held my little belated Linda Hoang Digital work Christmas party (it was just me and Mike lol) at Tzin this month and we had an amazing time. Mike is doing Dry January so they kept his alcohol-free lemonades going while I enjoyed my delicious bartender's choice cocktails (I just told them I like sweet drinks!)

Along with THE BACON, we loved the Patatas potatoes which comes with their delicious housemade "Angry Aioli" plus the Prawns (vadouvan spiced, shaved fennel, smoked butter) and Steelhead (with grilled green onion & cilantro chimichurri).

It's very typical for regulars here to come and order the "FEED ME" which is simply a surprise, multi-course, chef's menu for two. The table next to us ordered that one.

Tzin, a nod to 'Zinfandel' wine, has been around since 2007. The restaurant and kitchen is small (I am always blown away by what Chef Corey McGuire and his team can dish out in that tiny space!). Reservations are required due to the limited seating.

You'll really enjoy your evening here!

Tzin is featured in the 'Edmonton Food Faves' 2024 updated list I co-wrote with local food writer Sharon Yeo! Her 'Date Night' pick. https://linda-hoang.com/edmonton-food-faves-we-crave-2024/

Caught up with an old friend at Buok Fresh Korean Kitchen in Downtown Edmonton this week and had a great meal (lil Korean feast 🥰). I had never had the Ginseng Chicken Soup before and it was really lovely. An excellent broth that tasted like healing comfort?! that's how I describe it lol. TRY IT. They do offer other dine-in Korean soup specials (I'm a Korean soup gal lol) I need to go back for but this Ginseng Chicken soup was such a star. My friend had the Beef Bibimbap (it's the restaurant's signature dish) and loved it. It was also her first time trying Kimchi Jeon a savoury Korean pancake—she was hooked!

Buok is a fast casual downtown Edmonton restaurant with plenty of seats and quick service serving owner Henry's family recipes to Edmontonians since 2018.

Save this post to plan your winter visit to the Mighty Peace Region in and around the Town of Peace River in Northwest Alberta! 💛❄️

1️⃣: Hit the slopes! 🏂⛷️ Did you know: there are six ski hills in the Region, making it home to the most concentrated number of ski hills in the province?! You could do a whole ski - snowboard circuit! Our adventure was at the lovely Whispering Pines Ski Hill near Worsley.

2️⃣: Go skating! There’s lots of outdoor rinks around the region and you can find some cute ice surfaces in town too—like the twinkly new Sub Zero Skateway in Peace River.

3️⃣: Glide through some of the more than 200 km of groomed snowmobiling trails around the river, thanks to the Peace Valley Snow Riders club! Bring your own equipment and get a day pass, or reach out for an unforgettable guided experience.

4️⃣: Visit scenic lookout spots for the best views of the region! If you’re lucky, you might be able to experience the Northern Lights across these big skies as the area has very little light pollution. Thanks to local photographer Paul Lavoie for taking us around—I'll share locations in my upcoming Winter Travel Guide!

5️⃣: Slip and slide your way down a local toboggan hill! We had some fun at the hill in Town of Fairview.

WINTER FESTIVALS AND EVENTS IN THE MIGHTY PEACE REGION

Don’t miss Caranval de St. Isidore which takes place each February—it’s a winter celebration of Francophone culture and traditions.

Cheer on teams at the Alberta Pond Hockey Championships, which takes place in the area each March—at the picturesque Lac Cardinal Recreation Area.

And if you’re planning a trip around the holidays, there’s plenty of Christmas Lightup events each season!

Check my blog www.linda-hoang.com for more ideas on things to do in the Mighty Peace Region of northwest Alberta. I’ve worked with Mighty Peace Tourism on a summer guide, and am publishing an upcoming Winter Travel Guide to help you explore the northwest Alberta Mighty Peace region!

Thanks to everyone who got tickets to the SOLD OUT Chinatown Chow Down Group Lunch and Dinner I hosted this week! 🙌🏻😋🍽️

We supported Namaste India and Padmanadi who served a delicious Indian buffet (at Namaste) and a YEG Chinatown Dining Week deal (at Padmanadi).

These low-cost ($5!) group meals are part of my Chinatown Chow Down City of Edmonton Vibrancy Fund project. It offers accessible meals for the community, supports local non-profits like Water Warriors YEG, helping those in need in the neighbourhood, and brings in business for local restaurant owners too (the grant allows me to pay for the business for the full cost of the meal).

There are FOUR events in February and they will likely sell out too. Tickets go on sale Monday, Jan 20 at 11 a.m. over at https://chinatownchowdown.ca/ - you can sign up to the email newsletter for reminders and ticket links. 🤞🏻

You can also participate in the self-guided Chinatown Chow Down Challenge (culinary passport) anytime from now until end of March.

Thanks to everyone who came out this week + has been participating in and sharing about the initiative, and supporting Edmonton's Chinatown recently and year-round!

Both of these restaurants are also participating in YEG Chinatown Dining Week, which is on now until Jan 26! Get $10 or $20 food specials from 27 participating restaurants. 16 of them overlap with Chinatown Chow Down locations!!

✨ LEE HOUSE KOREAN x CHINATOWN DINING WEEK ✨

The 8th annual Chinatown Dining Week kicks off Jan 16-26 featuring a record 27 participating restaurants offering $10 or $20 food specials including Lee House Korean! 😋

I got a preview of their Dining Week dishes (hosted) to spread the word about the one of the tastiest weeks of the year! 🥰 Like many eateries in Chinatown, I love Lee House, and their Dining Week dishes are really great.

During , choose from:

$20 - Bossam (Korean Pork Belly)
$20 - Japchae (Glass Noodles with Beef or Vegetables)
$10 Jajangmyeon (Cold Noodles in a Black Bean Sauce)
$10 - Seafood Tofu Soup.

It’s hard for me NOT to order Bossam when I’m out at a Korean restaurant, I love assembling my lil pork belly wrap so much! 🥹 Often served with lettuce, at Lee House, you get pickled cabbage with two types of radish and bean paste (I also asked for extra garlic slices lol). The flavour and texture combination is awesome! I’m also a fan of the hearty helping of japchae glass noodles. And love that a fried egg comes with your Jjajangmyeon too! 🍳

Your dining week meal also comes with Korean banchan, which are tasty side dishes that complement the mains so well. Here it’s beansprouts, potatoes and kimchi. Really, I recommend ordering all the deals and sharing with the table! 🥰 (regrets for not getting the seafood tofu soup .. lol) and of course their regular menu is available as well!

Chinatown Dining Week is a delicious reason to explore Edmonton’s Chinatown! ☺️ 16 of the 27 participating restaurants are also part of my Chinatown Chow Down project—so that’s another reason to visit over the next week, you can get a bonus sticker for your Chow Down Challenge passport which will get you closer to a chance of winning 10 course meals or a private food tour at Chinatown restaurants! Enjoy!! 🫶🏻

SNOW MOBILING IN THE MIGHTY PEACE REGION of NORTHERN ALBERTA! ❄️🎉

Did you know: there are more than 200 km of groomed snowmobiling trails around the Peace River region, thanks to the Peace Valley Snow Riders club (a member of Alberta Snowmobile Association). The club promotes responsible snowmobiling in the area and are working to form a trail network on both the east and west side of the Peace River.

If you're planning a trip up north, bring your own equipment and get a day pass + maps to enjoy the trails yourself, or reach out to Peace Valley Snow Riders to see if they can do an unforgettable guided experience for you (like we did!)

We had a really great time gliding around the Hines Creek area with our Peace Valley Snow Rider guides Réjean, Ernie, Justin and Jamey (of Scanalta Power Sales), as part of my working trip with Mighty Peace Tourism! I would describe it as exhilarating! I had ridden a snowmobile just once before mainly as a passenger, but ended up driving this snowmobile for quite a distance on this tour! Our ride also included a scenic sunset stop where we enjoyed treats from the Hines Creek General Store (really delicious pepperoni and beef jerky made right in-store!)

Kindness and hospitality has emerged as a trend for everyone we had the pleasure of meeting in the Mighty Peace Region on this recent trip and this group was no exception.

NOW OPEN: Spruce Grove's best restaurant Barbacoa has opened its sister wine and cocktail bar Barbaretta! 🎉🥂

We are big fans of Barbacoa (consistently named Best Steak restaurant in the Edmonton area!) and were invited to the Barbaretta sneak peek on the weekend.

Barbaretta is an 18+ bar open 11 a.m. to midnight (1 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays!) and features a wine list of 100+ wines, cocktails for any taste (I loved the three I tried during the soft opening—Indigo Sky, Fresh & Flirty and Chai & Chill), beers on tap, shaken shots, and non-alcoholic options too. Food is meant to be more tapas/small bite shareable style, with just a few "main" dish options. Our favourite bites of the ones we sampled (not the whole menu) during the sneak peek were the scallops, siu mai, an pan con tomate!

As with what we have come to expect and love of Barbacoa, the quality of food and drink at Barbaretta is sure to stand-out (be sure to say hi to our excellent server Katie!)

The second floor restaurant (there's an elevator for accessible access too!) is a really nice space and also includes an outdoor patio (can't wait to enjoy that in the summer!)

Congratulations to the Barbacoa + Barbaretta team on the launch of this Parkland County gem—located just 15 minutes west of west Edmonton!

THE BEST BAKERY IN NORTHERN ALBERTA? 🍩🥖🧁🫶🏻 Save this post for when you plan your next visit up to the Mighty Peace Region in northwest Alberta.

You NEED to stop at Northern Dough, a small batch, artisan bakery specializing in doughnuts, breads, cupcakes and other delicious, made fresh in-house confections. 🥰😋

Northern Dough was one of my favourite stops on my Mighty Peace Tourism trip this week! I’m working with them on a Winter Travel Guide with more ideas to help you plan your visit so stay tuned for that!

It was so lovely to chat with Allie, the proud owner of this all butter 🧈 bakery 🤤 located in the tiny town of Grimshaw, Alberta near Peace River, about 5 hours northwest of Edmonton.

Allie opened the cozy bakery space less than a year ago, after a few years operating a successful home-based bakery. The store has already become a popular destination for the region!

We arrived at opening 8 a.m. on a Friday and there was already a revolving door of happy customers picking up their treats for the weekend. Our visit luckily landed on their popular ‘Doughnut Friday’ where the window is stocked with doughnuts! I really advise you plan your trip to ensure you’re there for only a few days of the month where they put out these tasty, specialty brioche doughnuts. It’s also in your best interest to show up in the morning because there’s no guarantees what will be in stock by the afternoon.

Along with donuts, we enjoyed the trendy flat croissant, chocolate chip cookie, cupcakes, and ham and cheese croissant sandwich we tried during this visit. 🤤

I haven’t tried all the bakeries in northern Alberta (yet!) so I can’t definitively say that Northern Dough is *the best* in the area but I’m *pretty* confident it is. 😉😋

I’ve been having a wicked winter experience in the Mighty Peace Region of Northern Alberta this week 🤟🏻 and it was my first time getting on a board in over a decade 🏂❄️ at Whispering Pines Ski Hill!! 🥰

This winter I’m back working with Mighty Peace Tourism to experience the region during the season + produce a travel guide for winter things you can do when you visit, including “shredding the gnar” down one of six ski hills in the area!! ❄️

The Mighty Peace Region, located five hours northwest of Edmonton, is home to the most concentrated amount of ski hills in the province. Super cool! 🎉 You could plan your trip as a ski/snowboard circuit.

As Benjimin gets bigger we’ve been talking about teaching him how to snowboard and I wasn’t confident I could still do it with a weaker knee from an injury a few years ago (when I tried skiing instead of snowboarding 😓 lol). Super happy with how comfortable I felt getting back on the snowboard, very proud of how I did, and so excited to do more runs in the future!! 💖

Whispering Pines Ski Hill in Worsley, part of the Mighty Peace Region, will always have a special place in my heart because of this, my return to this amazing winter sport! 🫶🏻

They’ve been operating since 1984, feature 100% natural snow, with groomed runs for beginners to experts, and a cute log cabin chalet.

Super grateful for our very patient, positive and personable instructor Jessica!!! 😍 Check out the comments of the post to see a behind the scenes video of how Jessica and my friend Shereen made for a great “filming crew” for our adventure. 🎥😅

Stay tuned for a few more posts about things to do + eats in the region, and watch for upcoming my Winter Travel Guide blog post to this beautiful Northern Alberta destination! 🎉

✨ And my first local bite of 2025 is...

The freshly baked, gourmet, super soft Milk Chocolate Sea Salt cookie from Great North Cookie Co. 🍪 It was also one of the last local bites I had in 2024. 🥰 I actually had it several times over the holidays as it was my go-to host gift for holiday gatherings and I’m pretty consistently grabbing a box of these throughout the year (rotating flavours but the milk chocolate sea salt is a constant!)

I was first introduced to this great local business while guest judging the Highlands School - The Culinary Arts Cookie-Off, where they are consistently award winners!

You can find Great North Cookie Co., one of my Edmonton Food Faves ( ) in Spruce Grove just west of Edmonton, at markets in and around the city, and online (they also deliver!)

Their store space is really cute and includes a great play area for kids so you can sip some drinks, eat some cookies, and meet friends while the kids play too.
