Edmonton food legend hits another kind of green

The legendary Green Onion Cake Man Siu To is making headlines with his newest product - a golf club!
“Siu To, the man credited with bringing the iconic green onion cake to Edmonton in 1980, and known to many as the Green Onion Cake Man, has invented his own golf club out of sheer love for the sport.
Nomess Golf’s driver is “almost revolutionary,” To told Taproot. It’s for sale at Victoria Golf Course and Driving Range for $350, far less than Today’s Golfer’s picks, which run around $600 U.S. each.
“Your mind is always wanting to be improving something, to make it better,” To said. “I think I should share this idea with public. I don’t want to be a big manufacturer.”

Toy Drive for Eid on Alberta Avenue
March 18, 2024
🌙✨ With the spirit of generosity and community at heart, this Ramadan marks a special collaboration between the Alberta Avenue Business Association, Masjid Quba and Freshco Coliseum Grocery.
Our aim is to spread the joy of Eid to children in our community. We’re organizing a toy drive because we believe every child deserves the happiness of receiving a gift during this festive season. ✨
To make this happen, we’ll be placing toy collection drop-off boxes in businesses along the Avenue as well as hosting a toy collection/donation table at Coliseum Freshco (8118 118 Ave) on March 23 and March 30 from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm.
The toys we collect will be distributed to children on Eid day, following the main Eid Prayer at Masjid Quba, as well as to children in neighboring communities.
Let’s join hands to make this Eid a memorable and joyful occasion for all the children in our community.
For more details, feel free to reach out to us via DM or email Saharla@Alberta-Avenue.com 🌙✨🧸🪀
