Tapas Dinner at Beast Restaurant

Located at 96 Tecumseth St in Toronto

Yay!  I finally got the chance to try out this restaurant!  Beast Restaurant is located at 96 Tecumseth Street in downtown Toronto near Bathurst and King.  It’s a meat-focused restaurant so don’t bring any friends here who might be vegetarian.   Continue reading

Weekly Photo Challenge: Connect

Grandma’s birthday in Scarborough. January 2015

This week’s photo challenge focuses on the word “connect”.  I like how they used the example of a bridge that connects two lands together.  To me right now, “connect” means people connecting together and building relationships that way.   Continue reading

Crazy Food at CNE 2015!

CNE 2015! 😀

It’s that time of the year again!  Eating crazy food at the Ex!  The Canadian National Exhibition has been promoting some off-the-charts crazy food creations in the recent years and most of us foodies fall for it because it not only looks delicious but seems crazy to try.
You get a lot of weird combinations that might taste good but on the whole, it is a risk to take.

The last time that I was at CNE was actually two years ago.   Continue reading

Coconut Festival 2015!

Media for Coconut Festival 2015!

Did you know that there is an annual Coconut Festival hosted in downtown Toronto every year?  This is their second year of hosting it!  This year, they hosted the Coconut Festival 2015 at the David Pecaut Square which is right next to Roy Thompson Hall.  It is just a two-minute walk from St. Andrew Subway Station and was the perfect spot to have an outdoor coconut-focused festival!   Continue reading

Shawarmas at Ibrahim BBQ!

Located 1967 Lawrence Avenue East in Scarborough

I hadn’t had an shawarma in a long time, the last one being at Rifca’s Mediterranean and the Friendly House Restaurant — which I loved– so it was great to have a weekday lunch with some of the best leaders in the team.   Continue reading

Lunch at Kenkou Sushi Bar

Located at 1549 Steeles Avenue West in North York

Earlier this week, Nicole and I had lunch at Kenkou Sushi Bar (their website seems to be down..), a sushi restaurant she’s frequented many times before since it is close to her residence.  I was happy to try a new restaurant again and it never hurts that it’s sushi!   Continue reading

Love’in Noodles [Defunct]

Located at 633 Silver Star Boulevard in Scarborough

This noodle shop used to be something else.  It either used to be a Japanese ramen place or a beef noodle place.  Either way, the previous businesses failed and now this one is in place.  To be honest, I’m not sure how much longer they will last too since it doesn’t seem like they get a lot of traffic or customers and maybe their feng shui is not that great.   Continue reading

Weekly Photo Challenge: From Every Angle

Silk worm store, Beijing. March 2015

It is SO easy for me to focus this week’s photo challenge on food because I always take pictures of food and from every angle too.  I take more photos of food than I ever used to do (now with handy smartphones and lots of storage space) and will snap at LEAST two pictures of the same dish just in case the first one ends up a little blurry.   Continue reading
