Game of Cheese located at 505 Hwy 7, Unit 50in Thornhill

This past Saturday, I was invited to a new restaurant called Game of Cheese as part of their Grand Opening which included a dinner tasting menu where we were able to try some of their cheese-inspired and Asian Fusion items.  Game of Cheese comes from the invention of Chef Frank Liu, the head chef of KaKa All You Can Eat.  Game of Cheese is located in the ever-popular (and perpetually changing) Commerce Gate plaza Continue reading

Big Beef Bowl (Markham)

Big Beef Bowl noodles

Big Beef Bowl located at 8362 Kennedy Rd in Markham

Big Beef Bowl has opened up their newest second location in Markham at the very popular Peachtree/New Kennedy Square plaza!  The first time that I tried the noodles and food from Big Beef Bowl was earlier this year when Ken and I went to their original location at Yonge & Finch and absolutely loved our meal since all the noodles were made fresh to order and we could see the hand pulled noodles being pounded Continue reading

Weekly Photo Challenge: Order

sushi burritos

Mi’hito Sushi Laboratory, Toronto. June 2017

I’m so tempted to put up a photo of something that is in DISarray this week — since I can think of a few things that are disorderly this week — but alas I came up with this one:  Sushi burritos in order!  This was taken at a recent food tasting where almost always the food displays meant for photography are organized and staged in neat and meticulous ways.

After a fun and successful photo shoot in Main Street Unionville, we went to Booster’s on Main to quench our thirst and for some bites.  At this time, the sun was beginning to set but the weather outside was still good enough to squeeze in some patio time.  Thus, Ken and I asked to be seated outside on the patio.  Luckily, we were able to nab the last one.

New reporting location today!

😀

One of the coolest things about being a stenographer is that every day is different and you might get to work out of new locations!  Today, I worked in this office which was all about land surveying.  All around the room, there were lots of artifacts and old maps as decor (historical compasses and telescopes).  I felt like I was in a mini museum lol.   Continue reading

Weekly Photo Challenge: Friend

 geese family

Baby geese, Markham, May 2017

These “friends” of mine are seen year-round but only during mid-May to early June do you see the small ones emerge for the first time.  You can get really close to them without them squawking or flying away and they’re just quiet, calm, beings for the most part.  (Just don’t provoke them.)    Continue reading

Weekly Photo Challenge: Evanescent

 West Caribbean cruise

West Caribbean cruise. April 2014

This week’s photo challenge is “evanescent: a moment in time that holds meaning for you”.  This photo was taken by one of my travel companions when I went on my first cruise to the West Caribbeans in April of 2014.  This is not only a fleeting moment in time because the sunrise doesn’t last very long (sometimes when you’re not paying attention, it seems like it turns from darkness to day light in just second) but also because it was mechanically a fleeting moment in time for me.   Continue reading
