Papa Chang’s Express located at Pacific Mall, Second Floor, 4300 Steeles Avenue East in Markham
Yay, popcorn chicken! My favourite! ❤ Papa Chang’s has one of the best popcorn chicken I’ve ever had and after I knew that they had opened a second location on the top floor of Pacific Mall as an express eatery, I had always kept it in the back of my mind to go visit. This chance came this past Family Day weekend where after an intense bootcamp workout at Fight Fit Bootcamp, I was craving popcorn chicken and this was the closest spot to trying some before dim sum (yes, I had popcorn chicken for breakfast essentially haha).

Air Canada Centre, Toronto. February 2017
Watching a hockey game with food from the concession stands! This is a brand new amazing match that I experienced for the first time for myself last night. My SO brought me to see my first hockey game last night (talk about another good match 😉 ) and so I can definitely say that watching a game with fast food/junk food is such a great winning combination! 🙂 Continue reading
Fight Fit Bootcamps located at 50 Torbay Rd in Markham
This Family Day weekend, my friend invited me to the gym that she has been attending for over three years where she does bootcamp training and kickboxing. The Markham location of Fight Fit Bootcamps at 50 Torbay Road was having a friends and family day where their current members could bring in friends and family for a free class. Continue reading
Pour House Pub and Kitchen located at 182 Dupont Street in Toronto
After our tour around Casa Loma to see the Beauty and the Beast exhibit, we were in search of a lunch around the area. We came across Pour House Pub and Kitchen after another restaurant that we had wanted to go to wasn’t open.
Pour House Pub and Kitchen was really nicely designed inside. Continue reading
Poke Eats located at 4750 Yonge St, Unit 118 in Toronto
Poke Eats is a brand new restaurant that has opened up in the midtown area of Yonge and Sheppard in a new commercial complex that serves poké bowls! As far as I know, there isn’t any other Hawaiian poke bowl restaurant in this part of Toronto yet and I was very grateful to be able to try out this two-week old restaurant. Poké bowls are a Hawaiian-inspired dish that contain marinated raw fish, assorted vegetables, and sauce on top of rice. Continue reading
Paintlounge Markham located at 118 Main Street Markham North in Markham
This was my first time painting at Paintlounge and in particular, their Markham studio! We had wanted to take a painting workshop and I bought this Groupon a couple of months ago. The Paintlounge website shows a selection of ‘easy’, ‘moderate’, and ‘challenge’ paintings for you to choose from to paint at the studio during weeknights. The process to booking a time slot on their website to redeem the Groupon coupon code was seamless and easy too. Continue reading
Spicy Mafia located at 20 Gibson Drive, Unit 111A in Markham
Spicy Mafia (得裝麻辣燙), a restaurant that specializes in hot pot and mini hot pots, now has a brand new item on their menu! They now serve “ma la tang” customizable noodle soups for lunch and dinner (they also offer delivery). The idea is simple enough: You choose from the wide array of 39 toppings in their fridge and place it on a provided plate. The staff then weighs it for you, at a cost of $8.99/lb. Continue reading
Shoushin located at 3328 Yonge St in Toronto
I haven’t tried many Japanese omakase meals in Toronto so it was definitely a treat to be able to enjoy this chef-custom-chosen “I’ll leave it to you” meal at Shoushin for Valentine’s Day this year. I have to thank my SO for making the reservation ahead of time since V Day is always a hectic day for restaurant bookings. Continue reading
Ai Wei Wei Grapes, AGO. August 2013
A little more than three years ago, when the Ai Wei Wei exhibit was being shown at the Art Gallery of Ontario, my friends and I went there to view it. One of the art pieces at the exhibit included this nearly impossible and ‘against the odds’ piece called Grapes. He used Qing Dynasty furniture which was made without nails using traditional woodworking techniques to create this piece. Continue reading
