Hey Meatball

By the name of this restaurant, Hey Meatball, you already know what they specialize in and that it’s clearly not a restaurant for you to go to if you are a vegan or vegetarian! (However, what’s interesting is that they actually … Continue reading →

Magic Noodle (Richmond Hill location)

Posted on April 30, 2015 by stenoodie

Posted on April 27, 2015 by stenoodie

Despite word-of-mouth, social media, and other high-tech ways to advertise, apparently old school snail mail still works! When I received a postcard-sized flyer about the opening of a new Asian dessert shop in Markham, I was intrigued by the clean … Continue reading →
