On our first night back to Hong Kong after our 5-day trip to Beijing, we had a family dinner at Chiuchow Garden in Sha Tin. We had a pretty big family gathering as most of our relatives were also visiting from Toronto to Hong Kong. As such, we ordered quite a number of items to share!
Chiuchow Garden serves Chinese food but also features dishes from the Chiu Chow cuisine. Continue reading

It wasn’t until I looked up more about this fast-food burger chain that I learned that they actively use and promote peanut oil in their fryers. They even serve peanuts at their stores.

Today was the perfect last day to my trip to Beijing this time around in 2015. Day 5 :).
Originally, the tour itinerary didn’t have many things planned for the day, but like most things in life, they are better enjoyed when taken into your own hands ;).
The day started off again with breakfast at the downstairs Cafe Restaurant at 6:30 a.m. Continue reading

Golden Duke Chinese Cuisine is yet another Chinese restaurant that serves dim sum and Chinese fare in the Markham area. I’m not being bitter about how many great Chinese restaurants we have in the area, but we do have quite a lot that sometimes it’s hard to keep track of their distinguishing features or what makes them stand out from the others.

I’ve been eyeing this restaurant ever since it opened in at First Markham Place a couple of months ago. Sense Modern Japanese looks highly sophisticated from the exterior and at first I thought it was an all-you-can-eat Japanese cuisine restaurant. Upon further research, it is actually an a la carte restaurant! Continue reading
Hello again, Temple of Heaven!

Day 4 in Beijing. Today, we visited two key tourist spots in Beijing: the Temple of Heaven and the Forbidden City and its surrounding “dians”.

After our meal at Ajisen Ramen, we headed next door (literally two steps away) to Symposium Cafe where we had dessert and drinks. I have also been to Symposium Cafe before, but at another location and for lunch. This time, we focused solely on the dessert menu! ^_^ Continue reading

Did you know that Ajisen Ramen was one of the first ramen shops to open up in Toronto? Their first branch opened up in Markham at Steeles and Warden and since then, Ajisen Ramen has opened up two more locations including this one at Yonge and Parkview in North York. Continue reading

I think this is my first official time celebrating Cinco De Mayo! Cinco De Mayo is a celebration in the states and Mexico every year May 5th on the calendar rolls around. Before this, you’ll also hear people post jokes and memes of “May the 4th be with you” on the day previous. (Haha.)
