Lake Erie, Ontario. July 2012
Textures: I remember putting my feet through these soft and wavy shelves of moss when I went camping for the first time in July 2012. It was a group camping trip with the Mon Sheong Youth Group at Rock Point Provincial Park & Lake Erie. It was so hot that day when we got to the campsite that all activities were postponed and everyone just went to the beach to cool off. I enjoyed walking through these Continue reading
Day 2 in New York City!
April 28, 2017: Day 2 in New York!
After sleeping in thoroughly after a delayed flight from coming in from Toronto, we woke up ready to find breakfast and begin our foodie trip. In preparing for our trip, we looked at YouTube videos to find top food lists of New York and consulted friends to find coveted spots to eat in the Big Apple. It was a beautiful spring day and good enough for shorts and sundresses.
We consulted the map (handy wifi and Google Maps) and searched Eataly out as the first spot of the day. My friend Betty had recommended it to me as a spot to visit and since it was around the area and on route to Continue reading
Dinner at the airport before flying!
This blog post comes nearly three months after we actually went to New York in April of 2017. Oops! With transcripts and work and being tired for two weeks after the trip and letting everything pile up, I had created another backlog for myself and thus never got around to blogging about this trip that we had. But no more! It’s going to be blogged this week before we head to another foodie city. 😀
This blog post covers our trip to New York starting on April 27, 2017!
I’ll begin with our dinner and Continue reading
Trapped located at 3130 Highway 7 East in Markham
Even though Trapped is located so close to me, this was my first time going there to play an escape game. We were looking for an escape game that we hadn’t been to yet and this one was on my radar since I had heard about it through social media. I looked up the escape room themes that they had on their website and it appeared that the Death Note room and another one seemed the most fitting for us since we had four people (Death Note was for 2 to 6 people). Their website said that if you booked online ahead time, we would save on the cost (its regular price was $28 and after booking it online, it was just Continue reading
Timber Creek Golf located at 12772 Ninth Line in Stouffville
This wasn’t my first time mini golfing but it deserves a blog post because it was just so much fun at Timber Creek Golf yesterday! Timber Creek Golf is located in Stouffville at Ninth Line and Main Street area. It’s a huge golf course area with mini putt, a golf range, batting cage, inflatable bouncer for kids, and a cafe/ice cream parlour selling Kawartha ice cream.
We came here on a busy and very sunny and hot Saturday afternoon. The parking lot was so packed that cars took up even their grassy lawn. There were two mini golf putting courses, the Continue reading
Mi’hito Sushi Laboratory located at 285 College St in Toronto
Approximately a month ago — two months — I went to a media tasting at Mi’hito Sushi Laboratory (on June 2, 2017). (Yes, I am finally done my current backlog and can go back to blogging about the restaurants I went to in April/May/June again to catch up!! :D)
This media tasting was hosted by @DKLoEvents and was actually the second event of his that I had ever gone to. I was really thrilled with this event because everything was organized extremely well and the event ran smoothly from beginning with end with lots of delicious food and generous portions for Continue reading
Pi Co. located at 2177 Yonge St in Toronto
This past Sunday, I was invited by Darren of @DKLoEvents to the VIP Card launch party from CraveThe6ix. CraveThe6ix is an Instagram account that features food photos from Instagram users showcasing food from all over Toronto. They have officially launched a discount card program with many of Toronto’s top and most popular restaurants giving you discounts or special promotions when sign up for the card (there is a physical card that you can show or you can show a mobile version). The card is free to obtain. You can get it by visiting their website and completing a quick sign-up.
As part of the launch party, we were Continue reading
Nichiban Sushi 4 U located at 3517 Kennedy Road Unit 3 in Scarborough
For an early dinner/continuation of lunch, we went to Nichiban Sushi 4 U for Japanese sushi. I had been recommended to try this place twice; once by my friend Viv and then by another food blogger on Instagram. Thus, I was curious to check this place out.
Nichiban Sushi 4 U is located on the corner of Kennedy Road and Steeles Avenue behind the Petro gas station. Those of you who know where Fat Ninja Bite is (a must-try, by the way!), you will find this gem of a Japanese restaurant behind the restaurant. Their parking lot is tiny but there are Continue reading
The Captain’s Boil, Newmarket. January 2017
There’s nothing that satisfies me more than a good meal. I’m talking about the REALLY good meals where the taste of food is delicious and the portion is substantial and you are left completely satisfied and content. The price of the meal might not matter but the fact that all the details and ingredients tied together and showed complete craftsmanship and skills from the chef is what matters. It just so happens that I had a really satisfying and contentful meal last weekend. For a better photo of “satisfaction” though, I decided Continue reading
