This is me, June 2015
It seems like a lot of people enjoyed my Introversion post from the other day. Good! I’m glad that more people understand who I really am now and that more people can identify with introverts because there is a smaller population of us in the world versus extroverts.
In the same stream of thinking about “who am I?” recently and wanting to be more in tune with myself, I also came across the 16Personalities test a day after I wrote the post. Continue reading

After sharing some yummy snacks at our weekly meeting, we went to B&B Cafe restaurant to have some grub. It’s an unassuming Chinese restaurant that also serves HK-style food in addition to dinner. It’s located in the plaza at Bur Oak and Kennedy and is a small family restaurant. Continue reading

We used to play badminton every Sunday afternoon, but slowly, our core group started to die out and now our Sunday afternoons are replaced with other activities.
We reunited here recently for brunch! It was so nice to catch up again, especially after many of us had been travelling around the world. Continue reading

Apparently, The Big Chill‘s been around for over a decade and is an old fixture in the College and Bathurst area in downtown Toronto. After an amazing meal at DaiLo (you need to try this place!), we headed for dessert here. It was a chilly night but it was warm inside this ice cream parlour.
The Big Chill looked like an old-fashioned ice cream parlour and they are distinctively decorated with cow-themed merchandise all over the place. Continue reading
Every person is unique
Maybe it’s time for a little reflection post. I hope everyone has been enjoying my daily foodie posts, restaurant reviews, and occasional travel flashback posts (more are coming and I’m still backlogged).
Summer time is here and that means there are more events on the horizon. It’s great to socialize but it tires me out. I really dislike small talk even though I like getting to know a person. I thrive best in one-on-one settings. I can only focus on one person talking at a time. Continue reading
Blue Mountain, Collingwood. June 2013
The theme for this week’s Photo Challenge is difficult! There’s only one thing that “off-season” makes me think of and there’s no room to really be creative around this theme unless your ideas are kind of arbitrary. Continue reading

On a sunny but a little chilly spring night, four of us visited DaiLo for a delicious and satisfying fusion French and Chinese dinner. I had heard lots about this restaurant, residing on College Street near Bathurst in Toronto, but didn’t have the chance to visit until now. What a treat it was for us as we left very satisfied with our tummies full and our taste buds dancing.
DaiLo is a two character phrase in Chinese that means “big boss”. Funnily enough, we decided to let the “big boss” of the restaurant decide our eating choices for the night. Continue reading

Since we weren’t able to get a dinner reservation at Copacabana (Adelaide location), I rescheduled us to still have dinner downtown at our preset dinner time. Since Urbanspoon recently shut down on June 1, 2015 and switched over to Zomato, I had trouble locating my bookmarked lists and resorted to using the not-so-friendly-or-easy-to-use-tools on Zomato to do some restaurant searching.

Having a prominent and bright sign in a middle of a busy street still works as effective advertising to catch potential customers’ eyes nowadays. That’s how I decided on coming to Big Jack’s Burger Shop with Jessica for lunch one day. I had noticed this long-time burger shop on Woodbine Avenue in Markham for a while and always was curious how they managed to stay in business despite not a lot of word being said about them on the street. Continue reading

One of my favourite sushi spots is Sushi Club! When I was in university, I frequented this small restaurant on Charles Street in downtown Toronto numerous, numerous times! It was our go-to spot, especially for my teacher’s college friends and I. It was close to campus, had delicious rolls and sushi, affordable lunch menus, and was a great intimate hang-out spot for us.
