TOT The Cat Cafe located at 298 College Street in Toronto
Did you know that Toronto now has its very own cat cafe? The idea has been touted around for several months, if not several years, and now thanks to the two co-owners who decided to take the idea into their own hands and make it a reality, hundreds and maybe thousands of cat fans around Toronto get to visit the very first cat cafe in town, TOT The Cat Cafe.

Lake Tekapo, New Zealand. April 2015
I think better theme ideas should be in place soon. “Trio” has already been done before! Anyway, I looked through my albums and I did find a somewhat interesting trio picture. When I went to New Zealand earlier this year (I actually can’t believe it was only earlier this year that I was there; it feels like it was so much longer than that!) Continue reading
Baked and Battered Cottage Bakery & Fish Fry located at 128 Highland St in Haliburton
Finally, we come to the last restaurant we dined out at on this year’s MC & Prep Retreat. (Hello, soon-to-be-over-backlog at stenoodie.) :] After a second lovely night at our private villas at Pinestone Resort, we woke up the next morning (rather late for most of us) and packed up and then headed to a local fish and chips restaurant for brunch at 11 a.m. Continue reading
Yasu located at 81 Harbord Street in Toronto
This was my first omakase at a Japanese restaurant! What an amazing 18-course omakase it was too! I feel so grateful and privileged that I got this opportunity to try amazing sushi at Yasu in Toronto! Yay! 😀
Yasu is a top notch sushi restaurant in the heart of Toronto located on Harbord Street near Spadina and the University of Toronto. Continue reading
Win Yeung Chinese Restaurant located at 37 Maple Ave in Haliburton
After our amazing day of training and learning, we went to Win Yeung Chinese Restaurant in Haliburton for dinner. We called ahead of time to let this Chinese restaurant know that up to 20 people were on the way (otherwise, being a small town, they might not be ready for all of us all at once). It took around 15 minutes for us to drive there from our villa at Pinestone Resort. Continue reading
Heatherwood Restaurant located at 4252 County Rd #21 in Haliburton
After our first night settling into Haliburton at the Pinestone Resort & Conference Centre, we were ready for our full day of learning and training with our mentors. But first, we had to get some sustenance!
We walked out from our villa house (it was so nice) to the main reception building to where their dining was — Heatherwood Restaurant. Continue reading

Hapa Izakaya located at 602 College Street West in Toronto
It’s been a while since I’ve been to an izakaya and I just love sharing small plates of food because you get to try so many dishes! 😀 Stephen and I went to Hapa Izakaya on a Friday evening. Unfortunately, I was a bit late so I thank Stephen for his patience as he waited for me to arrive. Continue reading
The Pepper Mill Steak & Pasta House located at 15141 Hwy #35 in Minden
After checking in and settling into our villa, we went out for dinner at The Pepper Mill Steak & Pasta House in Minden, Ontario. Since our breakfast brunch that morning was just a relatively small one at Goldsor Restaurant, most of us were starving by the time it was 5 p.m. when we were scheduled to have dinner. Unfortunately, many of our friends were checking things on the computer and we didn’t actually leave to go for dinner until 6:30 p.m. Continue reading
Rock Oasis, Toronto. July 2009
This week’s challenge asks us to share a moment that is victorious. It reminds me of the treetop trekking that we did earlier this week. When you finish all the obstacles and emerge on the other side unscathed, you feel and are victorious! Continue reading
