Fat Ninja Bite located at 3517 Kennedy Road, Unit 1 at Scarborough
Thanks to winning a contest that was hosted by Katie of @katielikesto.eat on instagram, I was able to try out Fat Ninja Bite for the first time with my friend, Betty! Fat Ninja Bite has only opened for five months but I’ve seen their monstrous and delicious-looking burgers all over my Instagram feed in the last little while with many people raving about how good their chicken katsu burgers were that I was super curious and desired to try them out badly.

Good Catch Boil House located at 179 Enterprise Blvd, Unit M-109 in Markham
I’ve already blogged about my first experience to Good Catch Boil House when I went there for their media tasting about a month ago (time flies!). Recently, I visited Good Catch Boil House again two more times because I had two gift certificates that I wanted to use up before they expired. Also, I love seafood so it was worth it to come again to try it out as a true customer and not as a guest as part of a media tasting. Continue reading
“Captioning shed” at the 7th annual Asian Film Awards at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, Hong Kong. March 2013
I don’t think I’ve had too many surprises in my life before but one that I can think of is this one back in 2013: I was in Hong Kong and joining steno superstar Jade King to shadow/follow her as she did the live captioning of the 7th annual Asian Film Awards at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai. Jade had previously done this job before 2013 and when she blogged about it, she included photos of the private booth that she had that overlooked the stage as the place where she would been captioning the award show live.

Hotel Mercure Sapporo located at 2 Chome-2-4 Minami 4 Jonishi, Sapporo-shi, Chūō-ku, Hokkaido Prefecture 064-0804, Japan
We stayed at Hotel Mercure Sapporo for three nights during our trip to Hokkaido, Japan: October 2, 3, and 6, 2016. I found Hotel Mercure Sapporo to be a very solid and comfortable stay. I loved that it was in the centre of Sapporo city which meant that the nightlife was all around us and completely walkable. After each day, after we returned to our hotel, we went out again so that we could samples the local shops and restaurants around us. Continue reading

Another wonderful breakfast at Mecure Sapporo Hotel
October 8, 2016 ~ Day 7 in Hokkaido, Japan.
A week has passed by just like that! Today’s itinerary was nothing more than a stop to the Mitsui Outlet Park Sapporo Kitahiroshima and flying back to Hong Kong.
We started with a later morning than usual with checkout time at 9 a.m. Continue reading
View outside Daiichi Hotel
October 7, 2016 ~ Day 6 in Hokkaido, Japan.
Today, before leaving Daiichi Hotel, we had a amazing spread of breakfast downstairs in a dining room next to the one we had the Kaiseki dinner last night.
I was so impressed with the variety and spread of food that was available. Continue reading
First view of Akan National Park in Hokkaido
October 6, 2016 ~ Day 5 in Hokkaido, Japan.
Day 5 of my Hokkaido trip and it was more of a tame day in terms of travelling and events I have to say.
Before leaving the hotel, we went for a second morning dip in the salt-based open air hot spring bath on the balcony. It was great! Continue reading
Planeta Mexico located at 187 Main Street in Markham
Last night, Ken and I went to dinner at Planeta Mexico in Markham. By its name, it’s clearly a Mexican restaurant and an “authentic Mexican cuisine” at that! I had heard about this restaurant from my friend Angel who raved about it on her social media feed. Thus, when I had passed by this restaurant when walking by on Main Street Unionville previously, I had always been intrigued to check it out. Continue reading
