Desserts at Sweet Esc

Located at 30 Gibson Drive in Markham

This is another restaurant that I’ve been seeing a lot of recently on my friends’ social media pages that I have been meaning to try out (social media works and is so powerful!).  I got to try this out recently! 😀  Sweet Esc is a new Asian dessert cafe in Markham located just north of Steeles at a plaza on Warden (there is a Chatime there).   Continue reading

Fresh Off The Boat!

Fresh Off The Boat located at 404 Queen Street West in Toronto

I love fried soft shell crab and lobster rolls and have been seeing friends eat these delicious looking softshell crab sandwiches and lobster rolls from Fresh Off The Boat.  I finally got the chance to try these with my fellow food blogger friend Anh last Saturday!   Continue reading

Duke of Richmond

Located at 20 Queen Street West in Toronto

I originally wasn’t planning to blog about this pub that we went to after the Shop Expo event, but it is still a foodie memory, so here it is. 🙂

Duke of Richmond is a British-style pub that opens until midnight on Thursdays and Fridays and is within 2 minutes’ walking distance from the Toronto City Hall or Toronto Eaton Centre.  I thought this was actually a really good spot to eat at after the event since it was so close.  They have several locations all around the GTA, with different names like Duke of “Devon, Kent, York, Somerset,” etc. Continue reading

Located at 169 Enterprise Blvd in Markham

I’ve been meaning to try a burger from South St. Burger and finally had the chance to do so when Jessica and I went for a weekday lunch.  Yay!  They had just opened a new location at the Cineplex Markham & VIP location in Downtown Markham.   Continue reading

Located at 3645 Las Vegas Boulevard South in Las Vegas

On the second and final day of our Las Vegas 2015 Bootcamp, instead of eating at the food court for lunch, we chose to eat at Blizz Frozen Yogurt & Crepes instead.  This is actually a dessert shop located right next to the food court at Ballys where we had been eating lunch the previous day.   Continue reading

Las Vegas Eats 2015: Cravings Buffet

Located at 3400 Las Vegas Boulevard S in Las Vegas

After our very first day at the Las Vegas 2015 Bootcamp, we had a team dinner at Cravings Buffet which is located at the Mirage Hotel.  It was a little bit of a trek to speed-walk there from our hotel at Ballys and we were a little short on time.

We got there and we were able to sit together in a long table that one of our partners had helped us reserve.  Thank you!  It was a pretty good deal too!   Continue reading

Weekly Photo Challenge: Today Was a Good Day

August 15, 2015 was a good day! 🙂

I’m not a fan of these challenges because they take more effort and time, something that I don’t have a lot of these days (by “this”, I don’t mean the Weekly Photo Challenge itself, I mean how they want us to choose a variety of pictures to feature for this week’s theme).   Continue reading

Las Vegas Eats 2015: Breakfast at Mon Ami Gabi

Located at 3655 S Las Vegas Boulevard in Las Vegas

Right before we headed for our very first day of the Las Vegas 2015 Bootcamp, three of us headed towards Mon Ami Gabi for breakfast. We wanted to be there extra early so that we could have time to savour the food before we had to line up at the convention hall.  Funnily enough, even though we wanted to have an early breakfast, they actually didn’t open until 7 a.m.  We waited a few minutes in front of their doors before they prompted opened at 7.   Continue reading

August Shoreline Cleanup at Cherry Park

Cleaning up the shoreline at Cherry Park, Ontario

This is not the first time I’ve done a shoreline cleanup event, nor is it the first one that I’ve done with the Toronto Trillium Lions.  In fact, the first time that I participated in a Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup was back in October in 2013 when I was invited with the group to tidy up the shoreline of Bluffer’s Park.   Continue reading

Summer Salad Ramen at Santouka!

Located at 91 Dundas St E in Toronto

After we had our fill of desserts and festival food at the first ever Sweetery Toronto Food Festival, the five of us headed over to Santouka for dinner since Wayne had never had ramen in Toronto before (…).  I really wanted to try their Cold Ramen after seeing friends post occasional pictures of it on social media.   Continue reading
