Brunch at Cora’s (Richmond Hill)

Posted on October 21, 2015 by stenoodie

Located at 16 Vogell Road in Richmond Hill

I haven’t been to Cora’s for brunch for a long time so I picked it as a catch-up spot for Tracy and I on a beautiful sunny Sunday in mid-October during the long weekend. The first time I went to this location of Cora’s was when I used to live in Richmond Hill last year. It was actually the weekend after I went to this spot for breakfast with my mom that I started to seriously blog about the restaurants that I dined at on this blog. It’s been a little more than a year since then! Continue reading →

Located at 108 Courtney Park Drive in Mississauga

After our really fun game of archery tag, we drove five minutes down the street to the local Turtle Jack’s Muskoka Grill to have dinner. We were a group of 10 people and got a nice long table in a semi-private part of the restaurant. Continue reading →

Breakfast at Mildred’s Temple Kitchen

Located at 85 Hanna Avenue in Toronto

I’ve heard a lot about Mildred’s Temple Kitchen, especially from those who went there for fancy Winterlicious dinners and had a great time. For this year’s “birthday celebration”, Joyce arranged for 12 of us to have breakfast here. This also acted as a Thanksgiving breakfast get-together. Thanks, Joyce! Continue reading →

Chatime Scarborough

Located at 3250 Midland Avenue in Scarborough

I don’t think I’ve blogged about Chatime before. Lol. Here goes. Alice, Helen, and I met up at the Chatime Scarborough to have a mini health & wellness recap from the amazing event that we had last weekend. Yay for teachers teaching teachers who want to learn more! 😉

On this visit, I had a caramel milk tea with aloe vera. I’m not a huge fan of bubble tea or milk teas, but every so often, it is nice to have a sip of these sugary drinks. Continue reading →

Located at 4911 Steeles Avenue East in Scarborough

For my birthday celebration with my mom this year, we went to Lobster King for lunch. I’ve been wanting to eat lobster for a while now and to enjoy it over lunch with my mom, so it was perfect that we got to go on a Wednesday when I was also my Chinese birthday to have a small seafood feast.

Beijing, China. March 2015

My first thought after looking at this week’s photo theme was “What? Didn’t we do this theme and topic already?”. Then I stopped being negative and just rolled with it because I thought of a great picture that would fit this theme. XD Continue reading →

AYCE Sushi at Ten-Ichi Japanese Cuisine

Posted on October 15, 2015 by stenoodie

Located at 4810 Sheppard Avenue East in Scarborough

After our first full-day event at a health & wellness seminar, we were early to arrive at Ten-Ichi for my birthday celebration. Yay! The seminar ended promptly at 5 p.m. and I had made the reservation for 20 people for 6:15 p.m., without thinking that we would be done so early and with no meeting after meeting to attend to. It was good this way regardless because we could slowly meander to the restaurant to have our all-you-can-eat Japanese food. 🙂 Continue reading →

Located at 230 Commerce Valley Drive East in Richmond Hill

You can say that we’re either very coachable or that we apply what we learned immediately to our lives. In between the lunch break during the health & wellness seminar that we had last weekend, we satisfied our stomachs by eating at Hero Burger at Highway 7 and Commerce Gate. Continue reading →

Lunch at Hanabi Sushi

Posted on October 13, 2015 by stenoodie

Located at 4188 Finch Avenue East in Scarborough

I’ve heard a little bit about Hanabi Sushi from some of my friends and how they get some free stuff from there because they know the owner/person who works there. Alice, Euphemia, and I went there for lunch on a Friday to check it out and I was excited to see what this place was all about.

Hanabi Sushi is a Japanese restaurant located on a corner of the plaza that is at Midland and Finch in Scarborough. Continue reading →
