Kaboom box 'Salmwich'

 Kaboom Box sells Sandwiches. We ordered the 'Salmwich combo' (Salmon burger and Poutine).
  Every Tuesday, any combo costs $10! It is chewy and very moist inside. This food is smooth and we can taste the fresh smoked salmon.

Japadog sells Japanese and Korean infused hot dogs. We ordered the 'Kurobuta terimayo', which costs $6.25.It is chewy and smells really great. It is almost the same as a normal hot dog, but a little bit different with .It was good, but it was small portion. Also, it took some time waiting after we ordered food. The seller was really kind, and explained everything on the menu. If you are hungry, you can try good quality hotdogs here . It is not very expensive.

Garbanzos
Falafel and fries



             



Garbanzos sells some vegetarian plates. We ordered the 'Falafel Plate', which costs $7.
They use fresh vegetables so it was really delicious. You can really smell the fresh cilantro.However, if you do not like cilantro, this food is not good for you Also, They use fried garbanzo beans instead of meat. It was a large portion! The woman, seller was really kind. . Additionally, we ordered a wrap, and it was little bit hard to eat.So be prepare to get messy! We recommend this food to vegetarians. Also, this food is good for your health. Pretty great!


EAT Chicken Wraps




Eats chicken sells different kinds of chicken rolls. We ordered the 'Hoisin Chicken Roll', which costs $8 This food is Chinese influenced. They wrap the chicken in a thin fried pancake, so it's a little bit oily and crispy. But delicious! This truck has peanuts for free so you can eat them while you wait! It was a large portion. The Roll and Wrap are fresh and unique. If you try this food, it will give you a unique experience experience. We recommend this food truck.

Soho Road sells Indian style kebabs. We ordered the 'Butter Chicken and Tandoori chicken (small size) which costs $6.5 per each one. This food tastes very nice because the chicken and sauce were both delicious. It was crispy and little bit oily.The seller was so kind to us, and he had shown us sauce before we ordered it.  It was quite a large portion. If you go with a your friend, it would be best to order the bigger size and divide into 2 people. Then you can save some money.

Food Truck

Mogu:

    Mogu is a Japanese style Sandwich truck. We tried the "Ebikatsu Sandwich" (shrimp). The sandwich has rich shrimps inside a deep fried patty, with vegetables and a special sauce, it tasted so good. And the food truck has very cute. It's price was $8.5. You might have to wait a little time for it. During that time, the sellers talk with you and give you a cup of Japanese tea. The Sandwich size was satisfactory for one person. Maybe it was a little expensive but it was a very rich and delicious sandwich. They have likeable Japanese sellers, and we think that will improve their market.














Arturo's Mexico to go:
  Arturo's is a Mexico style food. It's near Waterfront Station. We tried the chicken and pork Taco. The tacos have pork, chicken, tomato, sauerkraut, and some tomato sauce, it tasted a little spicy but had a lot of meat so it was very delicious. Arturo's taco price was cheap, it's one taco for $3. The food truck's owner (Arturo) is very friendly, when you were waiting for the food he would talk about everything and anything with you. The taco size was so-so, but it's enough for for an on-the-go snack. I think you should try it. Then you will want to eat it again.
















Mom's Grilled Cheese Truck:
 We absolutely %100 recommend Mom's Food Truck! There are great sandwiches, a nice location and vivacious counter sellers. Mom is there herself everyday and they all like to recommend different sandwiches to try. When you get your sandwiches, you will also get a big smile and decadent food You do not have to wait to get your order. We tried a Mom's classic, which has rich thick cheese and bacon. They can be simple or classic sandwich styles and are served with crispy potato chips and big pickles inside a cone. It was so good we went back a second time, they even remembered us.


Aussie Pie:
We found the Aussie Pie Guy near I.H. School on Granville St. We tried the cheeky pie (all the other pies were sold out). On the outside it has pastry and inside a rich red wine gravy sauce with mushrooms, carrot mash, rosemary and garlic.It was small portion but it was really awesome. The irish seller gave us lots of friendly information and let us try on some Australian costumes.

Terrible Beauty of water

 These photographs are a Photographic response to Ed Burtynsky’s “A Terrible Beauty”, who used a camera to look at this world and tell information from human's great achievements and calamities. this would be very difficult to discover if Ed Burtynsky or someone else didn't use his camera. But I want to try a different mode, that uses a camera to look around at the small picture of my world, that also was different to find. This project that is part of my Water series I took photos in different weather conditions by smart phone. These images of water exist every where, old bucket, drain full of garbage, used balcony, drying ditch flowing with water that looks animated. 

When you see the balcony puddle, that reflects the sky and smells of nature, it can help you to forget annoyances; After rainy old bucket adhere moss and full in water, then breeze blow on water to create a wave, this view would catch your eyes and you would feeling time walking very slow and image anything I can do, in this time; The garbage wash by rainwater in drain, this time you can see through the gap to feel other small worlds full of live, if you see before they are full of garbage you won't believe it was the same drain. 
  
Water symbolizes everything, also it's good or evil. The evil, like humans, destroy everything. Then they will become beyond redemption, but always there will remain a tiny opportunity, if you stop it now, then try to fix and keep it, one day, the beauty of world will come again.
