Located at 8333 Kennedy Rd in Markham
Despite word-of-mouth, social media, and other high-tech ways to advertise, apparently old school snail mail still works! When I received a postcard-sized flyer about the opening of a new Asian dessert shop in Markham, I was intrigued by the clean design and concept of ZenQ. What are Q balls? What kind of dessert do they serve? Continue reading
Second time in Beijing at the Great Wall of China! I’m very blessed 🙂
Tuesday, March 24, 2015.
Day 2 in Beijing! 😀 The day started off early with a breakfast buffet beginning at 6:30 a.m. in the dining area in the lobby. Just like my previous visit, you informed the hostess at the front of your room number and you will be able to enter. Continue reading
Located at 230 Commerce Valley Dr E in Thornhill
I love trying out recommendations from friends! How do you know where to go if your friends, who likely have the same taste as you, don’t share with you great restaurants and food? This is what happened. TK casually mentioned one time after our lunch and dessert at Ten Ren’s and Duo that Bombay Bhel has pretty good lunch sets. Since then, I’d locked it in the back of my mind and wanted to try this place. Continue reading
Millennium Hotels and Resorts – Copthorne, New Zealand. April 2015
On the third night of our travels in New Zealand, we had a performance after our dinner buffet right at the hotel where we were staying at. On the lower level, there was a pool that also doubled as a stage and performance area. The Māori Warriors were performing a war dance/show for us that night. Continue reading
Folco’s Ristorante located at 42 Main St Markham N in Markham
The other night, Angel and I had our long-awaited catch-up dinner at Folco’s Ristorante, an Italian restaurant I’ve always wanted to visit. This restaurant has shown up in the restaurant searches when searching in the Main Street Markham area. The restaurant occupies a building that resembles an old house or resident on Main Street (partly why this area of town is called Main Street — because it resembles a little village). Continue reading
Noodles in Beijing!
Monday, March 23, 2015.
Wheeee!!! So exciting!! I’m in Beijing again 😀 :D. Last time I was in Beijing was two years ago in the summer as part of the awesome DiSCOVER 2013 Program that was subsidized by the Mon Sheong group. We travelled as a group of 20 young individuals for two weeks to China and visited four cities (read the whole day-by-by blog posts here). Continue reading
West Caribbean Cruise. April 2014
For this photo, we really did specifically get up early at 5 or 6 a.m. in the morning on our vacation so that we could see and get this shot. Early morning sunshine in the West Caribbean! Woohoo! The sun was a big dan wong (egg yolk) in the sky with beautiful colours. Continue reading
Hong Kong Macau Ferry, Tsim Sha Tsui. April 2015
How to keep afloat this week: Balance life with work and pleasure, go on vacations around the world to stay humble and alert, communicate with both experienced and the still learning to have a better perspective of the world. Or, combine it all by going on a short day trip through the Pearl River to Macau from Hong Kong! 😉 Continue reading
Queenstown, New Zealand. April 2015
Last week’s photo challenge was going to be of this picture, but then I thought better of it and decided to use this one instead. Since my arrival in HK nearly three weeks ago, I’ve been travelling around HK, to New Zealand, Macau, and now back in HK. All of life goes so fast and it’s hard to believe that I will soon be going home next week. Continue reading

Jen organized a night of Carribean and Chinese fusion eating at the restaurant called Patois. It is located by Dundas and Bathurst and easily accessible via the TTC. Continue reading
