AllStar Wings & Ribs located at 9255 Woodbine Avenue, Unit 11 in Markham
I was craving wings and nachos this past Saturday so we went to the closest wings place — AllStar Wings & Ribs at Woodbine and 16th in Markham. Even though I live super close to the Cachet Centre plaza where this AllStar Wings is, I’ve actually never been here before. Thus, this was my first time at this location of this popular wings franchise restaurant. Continue reading

Visiting the Abashiri Prison Museum
October 5, 2016 ~ Day 4 in Hokkaido, Japan.
Today was great and full of short excursions to interesting museums and pit stops.

Hokkaidō Shrine, Hokkaido. October 2016
I found it! I found a photo that matches exactly with this week’s photo challenge samples! XD This photo was taken at the Hokkaidō Shrine in Sapporo, Hokkaido when I was travelling there in October last year (see blog post about the visit here). I photographed these wishes in the shrine.

On the third day of our Japan trip in Hokkaido, we woke up early for another amazing breakfast downstairs on the third floor of the Mercure Hotel for a hot continental breakfast.

Green Lemon Grass located at 9425 Leslie St in Richmond Hill (inside Richlane Mall)
I had a really bad first impression of this restaurant called Green Lemon Grass South East Asian Cuisine (香茅咖喱屋). My mom and I dined here on a Sunday afternoon for an early dinner. We arrived at 5 p.m. Green Lemon Grass South East Asian Cuisine is located inside the Richlane Mall on Lesile Street north of 16th Avenue in Richmond Hill. They serve Vietnamese pho and other South East Asian dishes. Continue reading
Big Beef Bowl located at 1 Byng Street
Mmm, Big Beef Bowl (大牛碗). This was an amazing lunch of northern-style (Lan zhou style) Chinese noodles!! Ken and I headed here on a Saturday around 1 p.m. Big Beef Bowl is located on 1 Byng Street (tucked away from Yonge Street south of Finch) in North York. Look out for Byng Street when you are looking for it otherwise you might miss it like we did. It’s a very simple restaurant storefront with tiny letters even for their signage. Continue reading

Huevos Rancheros from One Kitchen
For my third and last meal from One Kitchen this time around, I made the Huevos Rancheros, a traditional Mexican breakfast. I’ve actually had this breakfast before both at a restaurant and made at home before (you can check the previous recipe here). I chose this again to make from the meal prep service, One Kitchen, because I wanted to see how they altered and customized the recipe — since every chef and recipe is different out there.
