Sept 27, 2016. – House of Beijing 北京人家.
Dim sum with the relatives! I enjoyed the dim sum here at House of Beijing. The food was tasty and we actually ordered a lot. We didn’t quite finish everything (which was rare considering how many people we had at the table). Continue reading

Sept 22, 2016 — Dinner Buffet at Cafe by the Park at BP International Hotel 龍堡國際.

SOCO Kitchen + Bar located at 75 Lower Simcoe St in Toronto
The sweetie was smart enough to make reservations for a second restaurant for us to lounge at and eat and drink until midnight for the New Year’s Eve countdown. The reservation was booked for 10 p.m. at SOCO Kitchen + Bar and we arrived there to wave good-bye to the last of 2016 and say hello to 2017. Since we were so full from our first dinner at O & B Cafe Grill, we didn’t end up ordering any food. Continue reading
Oliver & Bonacini Café Grill located at 33 Yonge St in Toronto
Ken and I celebrated New Year’s Eve with dinner at Oliver & Bonacini Café Grill at their Yonge & Front Street location. Our reservations were booked at 7:30 p.m. and there were a lot of people dining already when we arrived. It was a really nice dimly lit restaurant perfect for dates or large casual gatherings. They had a lot of large tables for big groups. Continue reading
Kyouka Ramen located at 8384 Woodbine Avenue in Markham
I was really surprised that the former burger shop, Big Jack’s Burger Shop, had closed down and now was taken over by Kyouka Ramen (I really liked that burger joint). Kyouka Ramen, a Japanese ramen house, is located on Woodbine Avenue south of Highway 7. We were here on a Friday afternoon and they opened right at noon. Thus, even though we were here a few minutes before noon, we waited outside before they opened. Continue reading

Hello, December 31, 2016. This is going to be a summary of my year in 2016:
2016 started off rocky and looked bleak and uncomfortable. (I remember at the time looking forward to the end of the year already because I couldn’t wait to reflect on the entire year and write this post to wrap it all up lol.) Continue reading
Richmond Hill. May 2014
For this photo challenge, I originally wanted to find a photo that showed a weed growing out of the sidewalks or roads. We’ve all seen that little sprig of greenery pop out of nowhere on the concrete roads knowing that there was probably insufficient soil or nutrients for it to grow properly but yet there you see it popping out and thriving too. Continue reading
Golden Griddle located at 146 Laird Drive in Toronto
Before heading to the Science Centre for a day of fun, we enjoyed breakfast at the Golden Griddle at their Leaside location. It was a quiet spot for breakfast on a snowy winter day. Since it was the 29th of December, many people might have either been at work or off for the holidays so we didn’t see too many people inside at this homey restaurant. Continue reading
