About Me

Irene Seto

Hi guys! My name is Irene Seto and I am the writer behind Mint & Heritage. I’m a born-and-raised Calgarian so that makes me a bit of a unicorn right?! I’m also left-handed, a Taurus sign and an Ox on the Chinese Zodiac so I feel like my bull-headedness is beyond EXTRA, and a lover of all the cute bunnies that populate Calgary city parks. #LetsLeadLadies

Meet Calgary’s newest food hall inside Stephen A Meet Calgary’s newest food hall inside Stephen Avenue Place. Pineapple Hall features some of @concordegroup’s most popular brands all in one spot: 🍔 @cliveburger 🍕@doublezeropizza 🌮@surfysurfybar 🍱@lonelymouthbar ☕️@needsmustcafe 🍸@thepigeonholebar This place has proven to be busy for the downtown work crowd but it wasn’t too bad in a Sunday afternoon but, I can see it getting crowded on the weekends once people realize it’s an option. I really liked how they do the one ordering stop for all the main foods so it’s less wandering around trying to decide what to get. They gave QR menus around too so easy to see what’s available. I can see myself coming back for a coffee and snack to hang out during quieter times. @pineapplehallyyc 📍Stephen Avenue Place 225 7 Avenue SW #yycnow #yyctoday #yycfood #yycfoodie #supportlocalyyc #yycrestaurants #calgaryfood #calgaryfoodie #foodhall #yycdowntown #downtowncalgary
HAPPY HOUR 💲DEALS// @seoulfriedchicken edition HAPPY HOUR 💲DEALS// @seoulfriedchicken edition Ya gotta love a great deal like this! Every day from 1-4pm, Seoul Fried Chicken 🍗 offers some really affordable eats. The box of fries 🍟 is huge and the chicken is delicious (I somehow got 3 pieces of chicken but I didn’t ask any questions lol. Taking my chicken and running!) So if you ever need a late lunch, this is the perfect spot to save a few bucks. Not sponsored, just delicious 😋 #yycnow #yyctoday #yycfood #yycdeals #yycfoodie #yycsmallbusiness #supportlocalyyc #yycrestaurants #happyhourdeals #calgaryfoodie #koreanfriedchicken #kfc🍗🍟 #friedchickenlover
OSAKA 🇯🇵SNACKATHON IN A BOX! @tokyotreat is OSAKA 🇯🇵SNACKATHON IN A BOX! @tokyotreat is a Japanese-based subscription snack box. Each month, the snack box pulls together the yummiest treats from Japan. This month’s theme is treats from Osaka, inspired by the city’s iconic eats. There were 14 different items in my box which I found super impressive. A full English guide tells you exact what’s in the box as all the labels are in Japanese and it clearly identifies allergens and ingredients which is super helpful for me. I found the shipping pretty quick - the label says everything was packaged in Japan, but I did notice my tracking was shipped from Ontario so I imagine there’s a centralized distribution centre there. This is a pretty fun gift to order for the Japanese lover! Full box items: 🔹KitKat Mont Blanc (chestnut and white chocolate) 🔹plum soda 🔹salsa sauce katsu bites 🔹ponsuke nori and salt snacks 🔹Ramune Dorayaki (pancake with red bean paste) 🔹white chocolate crunch 🔹wasabi seaweed trips 🔹squid + pickled ginger tempura chips 🔹sea animal gummies 🔹udon snack 🔹cola mochi 🔹kitsune udon noodle cup 🔹grilled crab sticks 🔹takoyaki + soy peanuts -gifted- #yycfood #yycnow #yycfoodie #japanesefoods #japanesefoodlover #japanesesnacks #tokyotreat #osakafood #snackbox

I was lucky to join in on their self- care session making my own body scrubs with the @apothecaryyyc team. We also sampled Don Julio tequilas, munched on snacks from Fonda Fora and had a great night out overall. Future events include a wreath making class and a puppy pampering class - and of course there will be tequila.

While the Chinese restaurant is now closed, the @hawthorndiningroom has the original recipe and it is just as tasty as I remember. The dish is now available on their lunch menu. I had this as part of the @albertafoodtours Iconic Eats walking tour if you’re interested in learning more fun local foodie facts 😍👍🏼 #yycfood #yycfoodie #yycrestaurants #gingerbeef #chinesefoods #chinesefoodlover #yycnow #yyctoday
