Weekly Photo Challenge: Half and Half

Two halves of one avocado, Markham. March 2009

Mr. Avocado Seed.  This is what I called these after I had an extreme case of eating avocados during one winter in 2009.  Avocados are one of my favourite fruits and I actually got into a hobby of growing out the avocado seeds too at the time so that there were little plants in my home.   Continue reading →

Lunch at Moxie’s Grill & Bar in Square One

Located at 100 City Centre Dr #2 in Mississauga (inside Square One Shopping Centre)

Wow, I was so impressed with the food that I had here at Moxie’s!  We all know that a few years ago, chain restaurants like Moxie’s didn’t serve the best tasting or coolest choices of food, or at least for me, their reputation wasn’t very high on the foodie list.  However, Moxie’s has upped their game in terms of the food quality in the last couple of years and I have to say I was so happy and satisfied with what I had here.   Continue reading →

Wooffles and Ice Cream Parfait at Wooffles & Cream! [Relocated]

Located at 8360 Kennedy Road, Unit 81 (New Kennedy Square) in Markham

Remember last week when I blogged about and took pictures of a newly opened dessert shop called Wooffles & Cream at New Kennedy Square in Markham?  Well, they are officially open now (since July 8), and I got the chance to visit them to try their creations again in full size form!

Wooffles & Cream has been a huge success so far from the looks of it because they sold out several times over this weekend.  Mabel, one of the co-owners, had to go out to get more ingredients to make their Wooffles even though they had made 3 times the batch they usually make!   Continue reading →

My First Time to Millie Creperie!

Yes!  I finally got to try the crepe cake from Millie Creperie!  I have seen pictures and heard about this unique 20-layer crepe cake dessert and finally got to go to Kensington Market on a Friday night to try it.  Yay!

Diana and I were in search of this dessert shop and spotted it just as we were about to take the bend to exit Kensington Market.   Continue reading →

Weekly Photo Challenge: Symbol

Scarborough, Ontario. August 2008

This is a symbol I use all the time, probably even daily.  There’s nothing like injecting some emotion and happiness into our daily conversations in text.  You can’t see if someone is being silly or sarcastic without one of these symbols.   Continue reading →

How very thankful I am and blessed to be able to travel to Las Vegas for the second year in a row and dine at great restaurants? 🙂  After Juliana and I arrived in LAS, we took the airport shuttle to Baileys hotel where we dropped off our luggage.  It was a beautiful but very hot summer afternoon as we dashed from Baileys over to Caesars Palace to find a bite to eat for lunch.   Continue reading →
