On the second day of Hong Kong in 2016, we went to 合益泰小食 (Hop Yik Tai) in Shum Shui Po on 121 Kweilin Street to have lunch. Apparently this place boasts the best cheung fun (rice noodles) in Hong Kong. I was excited to try it out. 😀 Continue reading

Potato Noodle Soup of Bai located at 8333 Kennedy Road, Unit 1077 in Markham
Even though I didn’t enjoy my first visit to Potato Noodle Soup of Bai, when I found out that they had opened a brand new full-service restaurant at Langham Square and we were conveniently in the area looking for dinner, we decided to walk in to try it out. The first location of Potato Noodle Soup of Bai appears in the food court on the second level of Pacific Mall. For those of you who want to read the review I did of that location, you can click here.

EdgeWalk on the CN Tower, Toronto. August 2011
In the summer of 2011 when the CN Tower first introduced its EdgeWalk program, my friend Rachel and I were one of the first to brave together to try this first “walk on the edge” on the 356-metre high tower, the highest free-standing tower in Toronto. We were literally walking, leaning over, peering beyond the city, on the edge! 😛 Continue reading

“FAME is FAKE
and it FADEs
and if you don’t know that,
then you’re F_ _Ked”.
Lol, sorry to use abrasive language, but that’s the quote I heard long ago that cemented to me what “fame” really is. It’s stuck with me all these years and it’s true. Fame is a mental state; doesn’t last long, and isn’t actually real. Continue reading
Most of you know that I’m a ‘blog nerd’ for blogging every single day — publishing a new post every single day. I’ve been doing so for pretty much 2-3 years (so far the newest record is blogging daily for 137 days/4 months 15 days — from April 21, 2016 until now). I hit a realization recently. I’m done my backlog. I no longer have restaurant reviews lining up for me to post. In terms of recent backlog, that’s done. But I still have a lot of travel posts that I drafted up, intending to be posted with photos to share…. that I wanted to keep posting because I wanted to finish THAT backlog. But today, I realize I don’t want to do that anymore… Continue reading
Baskin Robbins located at Cachet Centre at 9255 Woodbine Avenue, Unit 22 in Markham
This is going to be a super low-key blog post. I haven’t been to Baskin Robbins for ice cream for many years (I remember enjoying a wonderful ice cream cake from them when I was a child). They’re a popular ice cream parlour franchise that has been around for many decades all around Canada and the United States. Almost everyone knows them by name! Continue reading

CNE, Toronto. September 2010
The Canadian National Exhibition is an annual unofficial ‘end of summer’ event where millions of Torontonians and visitors at the Exhibition Place go for carnie rides and outrageous food. This photo is a flashback to the summer of 2010 when I attended CNE again for the first time in a long while and I saw these crazy fun mirrors where it distorts your reflection to induce lots of giggles and funny faces.
