The Boil Bar located at 442 Bloor St W in Toronto
The last stop of our restaurant hopping tour was to The Boil Bar at the Annex. We’ve been talking about visiting so that Ken could try the deep fried soft shell crab cocktail for a while and after walking on Bloor Street West and noticing that the second location of The Boil Bar was here, we stopped in to try it.

Sushi on Bloor located at 525 Bloor Street West in Toronto
Hmm, Sushi on Bloor. This place has been well known for a long time — more than ten years in fact — and was one of the first sushi places that a lot of people raved and talked about back in my university days.
In fact, after we walked around the U of T campus for nostalgia’s sake, we ventured to Sushi on Bloor to have a quick bite Continue reading
Crafty Coyote located at 511 Bloor St W in Toronto
After watching A Tale of Samurai Cooking at the Hot Docs Cinema, we were looking for a place to eat on Bloor Street West and ventured into Crafty Coyote after spotting that they had a Seafood Board that looked really good on their menu. (This is why it’s so important and smart for restaurants to display a menu on the outside of their storefronts so that people like us passing by get intrigued and enter for a bite to eat on a whim. Foot traffic works!) Continue reading
Petit Potato located at 10 Ravel Rd #1-2 in North York
Ever since I was invited to attend the Media Event (and wasn’t able to go) last year, I have wanted to visit Petit Potato for its omurice and towering toast desserts. I finally had the chance to try it out with Ken this weekend just before we headed to the Evergreen Brickworks for a quick hike and stroll. Continue reading

Sept 30, 2016 – Simply Life.
Thanks to my foodie friend Grace, I was alerted of this really quaint and nice European style bakery and cafe that offered lunch and dessert items. She recommend the cakes and pastries to me so when we had some time in the afternoon, my mom and I ventured to the Sha Tin branch of Simply Life to check it out. Continue reading
The Captain’s Boil located at 16640 Yonge St Unit 3 in Newmarket
Even though I just blogged about the opening of a new Captain’s Boil restaurant in Newmarket the other day, I can’t help but to blog about the follow-up visit that I had there as well. A day and a half after visiting the Newmarket location of The Captain’s Boil restaurant for their Media Night, I was craving their fresh seafood (especially those generous and meaty king crab legs) and their signature Captain’s Boil sauce that I just had to go back. Continue reading

Toronto Christmas Market 2016. December 2016
Thinking of a place with outstanding ambience, there’s no other place that I’ve been to recently that outshines the Distillery District’s Christmas Market back in November to December of last year. It was my first time the annual Christmas Market that has been growing bigger and bigger each year in Toronto and attracting more and more attendees. Continue reading

A! Xiang located at 505 Highway 7 E, Suite 65 in Markham
My dining experience at A! Xiang was a terrible, terrible one from start to finish.
A! Xiang is a newly opened restaurant in Markham located at the Commerce Gate Plaza at Highway 7 near Commerce Valley Drive West. A! Xiang takes over the spot where Jyuban Ramen House used to be (that ramen house was also terrible in their service). A! Xiang serves Yunnan noodles known as “cross bridge noodles” where an assortment of raw ingredients and rice noodles arrive to the table and then are put straight into a steaming bowl of broth to be “cooked” at the table.
