Kristen Sarah: A piece of advice that I give to people who want to travel is to just get out there and do it. Start right away. Go explore your own backyard even. This is my backyard, Toronto, one of the most multicultural cities in the world where you can travel around the world in one day. To start the day off right, we need to get some food in our bellies. So I head over to dish where we will learn how to make fresh croissants with Master Chef Christian Faure who holds the prestigious title of best craftman of France. For breakfast this morning, I’m not just going to eat a croissant, I’m making my own croissant. Making croissants is trickier than it looks but is extremely rewarding. I feel like Meryl Streep in It’s Complicated.

[music]

Christian Faure: It’s very nice. Very good job, by the way.

Kristen: Thank you, thank you. Voila, it is all done. Here comes the best part. Perfect. So good. Now, after I finish this, going to head to Chinatown and explore a little bit more.

[music]

Kristen: In Chinatown, you can get your hands on produce you won’t find anywhere else in the city.

[music]

Kristen: This here is a durian. Probably the smelliest food in the world but in my opinion, quite delicious. Wow, stinky. Shopping in the markets here makes you feel like you’ve been transported to another world. All of your senses will be heightened. Our afternoon will be spent at Kensington Market, one of Toronto’s most well-known and multicultural neighborhoods.

[music]

Kristen: Here you can bite into delicious treats, and purchase crafts and clothing from all around the world.

[music]

Kristen: After walking around all day, you’ll… probably going to be pretty hungry. I would highly recommend coming to one of my favorite restaurants, KINTON RAMEN, get the vegetarian ramen, even if you aren’t vegetarian, and add egg. To end the night on a high note, we are heading to the Dovercourt House for some salsa dancing.

[music]
