Winterlicious 2016: Rally Sports Bar & Smokehouse

Rally Sports Bar & Smokehouse located at 1660 O’Connor Dr in Toronto

Today is the second day of Winterlicious 2016 and was my first Winterlicious meal of the season (and only one this year).  Unfortunately, we found out that the first restaurant that we had intended to visit didn’t offer a prix fixe lunch on a weekend, so we ended up going to Rally Sports Bar & Smokehouse for Winterlicious lunch instead since close by.   Continue reading

Weekly Photo Challenge: Vibrant

Markham, Ontario. July 2010

I hope this photo of the vibrant summer sky of a warm, orangey, and flurried-cloud sunset brightens up the moods of those who suffer from SAD a.k.a the winter blues.  It must be hard to live in a place where there is no sunshine at all, so I really sympathize with those who live in such gloomy places.   Continue reading

O.M.G. Restaurant & Lounge [Defunct]

Located at 4033 Gordon Baker Road in North York

What an interesting name to this restaurant (which is really a Hong Kong style cafe)!  “O.M.G.” Restaurant & Lounge is definitely catchy and very creative because you wouldn’t think that this is just a casual cafe that offers the same selection of food as other Hong Kong style cafes.

O.M.G. Restaurant & Lounge is located on Gordon Baker Road in Scarborough Continue reading

I’m getting better at this preparation and presentation cooking thing.  Yay!  For the fourth Füdi meal, the flavour was a “Southwest Chicken” with pearl barely and kale.  If you’ve been keeping up with my five-part series on this Fudi meal blog, you know that I’ve received this from Füdi Canada so that I can participate in a photo contest with other fellow top food bloggers.   Continue reading

ABC Bakery Coffee Shop in North York

ABC Bakery Coffee Shop located at 3618 Victoria Park Avenue in North York

I didn’t know that this Chinese bakery existed!  ABC Bakery Coffee Shop not only serves Chinese buns and the regular tarts and pastries, but they also have early morning breakfast and lunch combos.  They are also famously known among the Chinese community for their fresh and delicious egg tarts!   Continue reading

Weekly Photo Challenge: Optimistic

Lake Louise, Alberta. January 2016

This week’s theme is “optimistic“.  What picture shows you an image that will make you optimistic about something?  While a lot of other bloggers and photographers have chosen warm, sunny, bright pictures of summer because we are in the middle of winter right now and they cannot wait for the warm weather and days to arrive again, I really don’t think winter is all that bad.   Continue reading

Melissa’s Missteak (Banff)

Melissa’s Missteak located at 218 Lynx St in Banff

What a pleasure it was to be able to dine in Banff, the world’s most beautiful rocky mountains and the village that is so picturesque!! 😀   Unfortunately, by the time we drove in from Lake Louise (which was actually an hour away), the sun had set and it was really cold outside!  All that was on our minds was dinner before we started another 5-hour drive home to Edmonton (thank you to our friends who drove!).   Continue reading

Füdi Meal #3: Cajun Chicken with Pearl Barley and Kale

Füdi Meal #3: Cajun Chicken with Pearl Barley and Kale

I had my third package of the Füdi Meals today!  Just like last time, they are very easy to cook and heat up!  I tried the Cajun Chicken with Pearl Barley and Kale.

After bringing a medium pot of water to boil, I put in the two pouches of the cooked Cajun chicken with pearl barley and the uncooked kale and left it in there for about 15 to 17 minutes.   Continue reading
