Playing Snookball at Ballers’ Bistro!

Posted on October 30, 2015 by stenoodie

Located at 600 Matheson Boulevard West, Unit 4 in Mississauga

I was honoured and pleased to be able to attend a pre-opening party at Ballers’ Bistro in Mississauga. Ballers’ Bistro is the first restaurant in Canada to offer snookball entertainment! If you don’t know what snookball is, it’s basically a hybrid of pool and soccer. There is a giant life-sized pool table where you use your feet to hit the pools balls (these are soccer balls painted as pool balls) to play a game of pool. Continue reading →

Food at Elm Hurst Inn & Spa

Posted on October 26, 2015 by stenoodie

Located at 415 Harris St. in Ingersoll, Ontario

Perhaps it is in bad taste to review the food from a wedding venue, but I’m going to do it anyway (XD) (mostly because the food was so exquisite and I want to share this place with you guys). This past weekend, I was at a friend’s wedding hosted at Elm Hurst Inn & Spa in Ingersoll, Ontario. It is a lengthy drive for anyone living in Toronto (1.5-2 hour drive one way), but if you would like a nice getaway from the hectic city life and want to see some peaceful scenery and relax, it is a great place!

Canadian Sharing Plates at Boralia! [Defunct]

Posted on October 25, 2015 by stenoodie

Located at 59 Ossington Ave in Toronto

What an exquisite feast and foodie adventure we had at Boralia! Ai Ling, Jing, and I haven’t dined together since our summer trip to Montreal three years ago. I came across Boralia by chance when I was searching up restaurants to dine at earlier in the week. A lot of restaurants on a top Toronto food list were already booked for this Saturday night but Boralia still had a table for three for 7:30 p.m. Continue reading →

Located at 4860 Yonge Street in North York

Last Tuesday, Jason, Clarissa, and I had lunch at Kenzo Ramen. Last month when we had lunch at Joon’s next door, I spotted this Kenzo and kept it in the back of my mind to go for our next lunch, and here we were!

There are several locations of Kenzo in Toronto and the first one I went to was downtown near Dundas Square several years ago. Continue reading →

Located at 1383 16th Avenue in Richmond Hill

After three hours or so of playing badminton at Flying Dragon on Thanksgiving Monday (the time just FLEW by — get it? ;P), a few of us went to St. Louis Bar & Grill for lunch. We were originally planning to go next door to Magic Noodle, but they were packed, so we ditched the line-up. Continue reading →
