Win Yeung Chinese Restaurant (Haliburton)

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

The Pepper Mill Steak & Pasta House

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
