We’re still taking this in. Thank you so much to Karon Liu for featuring Garleek Kitchen in the Toronto Star’s Food Crawl newsletter and calling our Tibetan Breakfast the “BEST THING I ATE THIS WEEK.”
It means a lot to have our food and our story shared in this way. 🙏
We especially appreciated Karon sharing that the breakfast was originally created with late-night and early-morning workers in mind — people coming off overnight shifts or starting their day. That was such an important part of why we wanted to serve it, and we’re grateful he took the time to share that story.
We were also so happy to see our Tsampa Pancakes included. We created them for our daughter, Suki, bringing together traditional Tibetan tsampa, or roasted barley flour, with the North American idea of pancakes. It’s a small but meaningful way for her to enjoy a taste of her heritage.
Thank you, Karon, for taking the time to tell our story, and thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way.
