Toastmasters in Toronto
Yesterday, I had my second session of Toastmasters (Youth Leadership Program version) and I was able to do my first speech!
Before the one hour-ish session, I prepped at home by writing out what I was going to say through my stenograph. It always helps me to organize my thoughts to have it written down on paper first. I knew what I was going to talk about for my Icebreaker speech. I was going to talk about Continue reading
Smoke’s Poutinerie located at 218 Adelaide Street West in Toronto
Canada’s 150th birthday only comes around once in a lifetime so Smoke’s Poutinerie has come up with “the most Canadian-themed dish the world has ever seen” to produce the Canadian of all Canadian poutines to celebrate this historic milestone! (We all know poutine, a dish made with fresh hot French fries, smooth gravy, and fresh cheese curds, is *the* Canadian dish to enjoy and feast on!) Continue reading
Origination Noodle located at 633 Silver Star Blvd, Unit 119 in Scarborough

Chi’s Congee & Noodle House located at 1177 Central Pkwy W, Unit 66 in Mississauga
Last weekend, we came here for lunch with Ken’s family. Chi’s Congee & Noodle House is a standard Cantonese restaurant that serves rice, noodles, congee, stir-fried dishes, soups, and the like. It’s located in the busy and popular Golden Square Centre in Mississauga. The last time I was in this area was for the media tasting of the nearby Moral’s Village!
We were here at 1 p.m. and Continue reading
Lim Ga Ne located at 680 Bloor St W in Toronto
After the BBQ Eats Festival, we ventured to downtown Korea Town and ended up at Lim Ga Ne for dinner. We chose this restaurant based on the fact that it was dinner time and we wanted an available restaurant that wasn’t too empty but yet where we wouldn’t have to wait for a table either. This one fit the bill. 😛
Once inside, I already knew what I wanted to Continue reading
2017 BBQ Eats Festival held at Ontario Place at 955 Lake Shore Boulevard West in Toronto
I was first alerted to this BBQ Eats Festival in early May and I even registered for the event to get two free tickets. Fast forward to the event last weekend and I found out that the event itself was actually free all along and thus my two free tickets weren’t really so free at all lol. (Upon closer reading of the description, the tickets enabled me to get into the event one hour early… entry line bypass.)
The inaugural 2017 BBQ Eats Festival was held Continue reading
Toastmasters session

Last Friday evening, Ken and I checked out the new restaurant at Kennedy and Highway 7 called Black Bear Japanese Fusion. This Japanese fusion restaurant takes the place of a previous long-running Japanese sushi restaurant called Sushi on 7.

More than a month ago, I entered a contest on Instagram courtesy of styledemocracyfood to win a chance to dine at Bagel Nash for myself and a friend. I was lucky enough to be chosen and thus was finally able to redeem this prize of two drinks, two entrees, and two desserts at this bagel franchise last Friday. Continue reading
