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.

The Yellow Griffin Pub located at 2202 Bloor St W in Toronto
After a really unsatisfying tasting event across the street, Priscilla and I were in search of some casual and low-key food. We had passed by The Yellow Griffin Pub when we were strolling through the Bloor West Village neighbourhood prior to the event and we were attracted by its appealing storefront as well as their “35 burgers (to choose from)” sign.
