Sept 22, 2016 – Kam Lo Dessert 甘露甜品
After our lunch at Kings H. K. Style Cafe, Willa and I walked a few blocks over to a well known old-school Chinese dessert shop called Kam Lo Dessert (甘露甜品). This was definitely a classic and traditional Chinese dessert shop from the look of it. Kam Lo Dessert also sold congee, “car noodles”, and street eats in addition to desserts.
Their walls were plastered with Chinese columnists and articles praising their desserts as well as menus written in Chinese.

It is located on Leslie Street north of Highway 7 in Richmond Hill in the Fusion Place plaza where there is also a Chi Star House and Day & Night Angus Beef Hot Pot restaurant. This restaurant is fairly new as I don’t recall seeing it half a year ago. Continue reading

The very first time I dined at The Old Spaghetti Factory was several years ago in my university days when we had a small reunion with friends.

Mississauga City, Toronto. October 2016
This week’s theme of “new horizon” is related to setting a new goal or plan for the new year. I remember earlier this year when I was sent to work out of a new location in Mississauga, I saw this beautiful new view of the city that I had never seen before. My goal for the coming year is that I will continue to work out of new environments, law firms, office boardrooms, and the like to always have new horizons to strive for and work in. Continue reading

Dragon Boat Fusion Cuisine located at 160 E Beaver Creek Rd #4-6 in Richmond Hill
Dim Sum at Dragon Boat Fusion Cuisine is a highly regarded Chinese restaurant serving dim sum in the Richmond Hill region. Many people say that it serves some of the best dim sum in town and that in order to get a table during the weekends, you have to arrive early and line-up even before the restaurant is open! (Indeed, I have seen a friend’s photo on Facebook where the line-up wound around the corner of the restaurant.) Ken and I were excited to try this place out. 😀
Dragon Boat Fusion Cuisine opens at 9 a.m. every day. I heard that people say that you have to be there by 8:30 a.m. to get a table on the weekend so we were there promptly by around 8:40 a.m.
