Tree in Hong Kong. November 2014
I was trying to look for another photo to feature for this week’s challenge but this one caught my eye right away and it’s completely dense! Look at all of those leaves and branches all intertwining together. You can’t even see where the start of a branch is and where it ends. XD This photo was taken when we were in Hong Kong and I was taking notice of these big trees that were on the side of the road as we were strolling. Continue reading
Old School located at 800 Dundas Street West
Here goes a very interesting tasting experience that I had last week.
Disclaimer: This is a reflection of my visit to Old School and all opinions are my own. This is all an attempt to document the experience that I had from my perspective.

Corks Winebar & Eatery located at 19 Queen St at Niagara-on-the-Lake
Before we left Niagara-on-the-Lake, we had a late lunch/early dinner at Corks Winebar & Eatery. The storefront of this restaurant already piqued my interest when we were strolling down Queen Street in this little tourist town because it looked so modern compared to the other storefronts and inviting. Thus, we walked in without hesitation (or even looking at the menu) to try out their food. Continue reading

Old Stone Inn Boutique Hotel located at 6080 Fallsview Blvd in Niagara Falls
Last weekend, we stayed at the Old Stone Inn Boutique Hotel when we were spending the weekend away in Niagara Falls. This hotel was one that popped up on Groupon when we were briefly looking for a hotel to make reservations for for our trip. Like many of the other hotels listed, this also included breakfast and dine-in vouchers, and wine tasting and chocolate tour tickets. What made this hotel stand out though was its affordable pricing, close location to the Falls, and really rustic and unique-looking interiors! Continue reading
Konzelmann Estate Winery located at 1096 Lakeshore Rd in Niagara-on-the-Lake
After our brief stint at the Chocolate F/X chocolate factory, we proceeded along the route towards Niagara-on-the-Lake and visited Konzelmann Estate Winery. The hotel stay was so awesome in that we also received a free voucher to go wine tasting at this winery! I was looking forward to it since there are so many wineries in Niagara and Niagara-on-the-Lake, of which many are well-known in Ontario. Continue reading
Whole Foods Market Unionville located at 3997 Hwy 7 in Markham
Last night, there was a Cheese Soirée held at the Whole Foods Market in Unionville. Thanks to a Facebook sponsored ad, I saw this event float up in my newsfeed and I was highly intrigued. For only $5 donation, there was going to be a cheese soirée! This Whole Foods Market was close to me and thus, I thought why not and RSVPed to go. Continue reading
Taken from various parts of the world. 2008-2016
I love these colour challenges! I remember the last one I did was for the colour orange and I had so much fun picking out photos that were similar in terms of its colour scheme. For this week’s challenge, the focal point is green everything! Here are the photos that I came up with. You can click the photo to enlarge it. (Actually, I should have included my first ever pint of green beer too! Ah well. 😛 ) Continue reading
Chocolate F/X located at 335 Four Mile Creek Rd in St. Davids, Ontario
“If you can’t dip it in chocolate, it’s not worth eating!” That’s the slogan of the Chocolate F/X chocolate shop that we visited when we were in Niagara Falls this past weekend. Chocolate F/X is actually located in the town of St. Davids but it’s only a 15-minute drive from the Falls or a 15-minute from Niagara-on-the-Lake. Continue reading
The Flour Mill Restaurant located at 6080 Fallsview Blvd in Niagara Falls
We were able to enjoy two meals at The Flour Mill Restaurant at the Old Stone Inn Boutique Hotel when we stayed there this past weekend. To start off, the Old Stone Inn Boutique Hotel is an absolutely magnificent and beautifully rustic hotel that used to be a former flour mill dating back to 1904. This made for a very historic and characteristic restaurant housed inside the boutique hotel where the walls were made with stone. Continue reading
