0109 Dessert & Chocolate located at 2190 McNicoll Avenue, Unit 109 in Scarborough
Here’s a short and sweet blog post; get it? 😛 0109 Dessert & Chocolate is a dessert shop in Scarborough (next to Chako and the first location of Magic Noodle) at the intersection of Kennedy Road and McNicoll Avenue that specializes in Swiss premium chocolate from Lindt and homemade gelato. I’ve heard a lot about this dessert shop and finally had the chance to go! 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
QQ Thai Ice Cream Rolls located at 3278 Midland Ave., Unit D117 in Scarborough
There is a brand new Thai ice cream rolls shop in Scarborough called QQ Thai Ice Cream! This past Wednesday, Sweven Media held a preview media event for some local foodies to allow us to try their ice cream rolls and so I had the pleasure to try them out.
QQ Thai Ice Cream is located at 3278 Midland Ave. at Unit D117 near Midland and Finch Avenue in Scarborough. 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. Continue reading
The Captain’s Boil located at 671 College Street in Toronto
I have fallen in love with eating seafood boils and after this recent visit to The Captain’s Boil, it just reconfirms how delicious this messy hands-on way of eating seafood is. The Captain’s Boil has been growing steadily throughout Canada and not only now has locations in Toronto (where they first started in November of 2015) but also in Vancouver and Montreal as well. Their fifth location in Toronto just opened up on 671 College Street in Little Italy. Continue reading
Cool N2 Ice Cream located at 28 South Unionville Avenue, Suite 1036 in Markham
The newest and latest dessert trend has come out of Taiwan to debut in Markham called Cool N2, serving liquid nitrogen ice cream. Cool N2 Ice Cream (“N2” for Nitrogen) is located near Langham Square on Kennedy south of Highway 7 where ZenQ, Morals Village Hot Pot, and Cha Me Cha Markham are (it’s outside the mall).
When Priscilla and I walked in at about 9 p.m. on a Monday, there were some customers enjoying this brand new ice cream standing around the counter. Continue reading
It’s only after waking up when you realize how stupid these quotes sound when you share it for the sake of being an “entrepreneur”.
In my opinion, a real “entrepreneur” doesn’t actually call him or herself an entrepreneur. Someone who is actually out there, creating their own product and brand from scratch, works so hard that all they share is their progress or their product to people who ask. “Hey, what do you do?” “I sell homemade cupcakes” or “I design Snapchat filters”. You don’t really hear of Continue reading
Moji Japanese Eatery located at 8362 Kennedy Road Unit A6 in Markham
Moji Japanese Eatery is one of the newer Japanese restaurants to hit Markham and has been making waves and beckoning people (like me) to go and try their food. I wonder what their name, Moji, means? It actually reminds me of “emoji” just now. XD
Moji Japanese Eatery is located near New Kennedy Plaza (or Peachtree Centre) among the pack of restaurants. There was lots of parking available on the lot and I was the first one to walk in at 6 p.m. on a Monday evening. Continue reading
