Lunch at Gal’s Sushi

Located at 3621 Hwy 7 in Markham

Gal’s Sushi is a long-frequented sushi place that most Markham friends know about and have been to before.  It’s a surprise that I haven’t been here in a while to write up a blog post, so here it is!  Jessica and I had lunch here on a weekday and I was happy to enjoy their sushi rolls again.  One of the things I like about Gal’s is that their sushi rolls are consistently good and tasty.   Continue reading

Lunch at Chef Wong’s

Located at 3235 Highway 7 East in Markham

On a Tuesday afternoon, my mom and I went for lunch at Chef Wong’s at First Markham Place.  This restaurant used to be another location of Congee Wong but for some reason has been renovated and changed to another congee/noodle/rice restaurant called Chef Wong instead.  Mind you, the Chinese name is still the same as “Congee Wong”.  What gives?   Continue reading

The dancing on tables that happened every night to a new song

After a hike through the underground cave and river in the Secret River excursion, dinner was served at the Gold Pearl.  Yay!

Day 2 Dinner of West Caribbean Cruise 2015!

First formal night on the cruise!

This was our second day on the cruise but our first sea day!  Yay!  On this day, instead of cruising around and finding activities to do on the cruise, we had our very first GenYTO cruise coring on the boat!  It was really cool.  We all gathered after breakfast time in the Black Pearl to listen to first-time convention goers speak about their experiences, top successful entrepreneurs about their tips and lifestyle after not having to work anymore, and also about our upcoming cruise excursions!   Continue reading

Weekly Photo Challenge: Reward

Happy in Markham. April 2008

The word “reward” reminds me of something you need to earn and achieve in order to get a result.  It can be something tangible or not!  No matter if we realize it or not, a lot of our daily behaviours are related to whether we get something as the end result.   Continue reading

Day 1 Dinner of West Caribbean Cruise 2015!

Hello Miami! (Taken from the cruise ship)

Coming back from a 7-day cruise and recounting the amount of food that we ate is ridiculous!  So I’m only going to write about the dinner meals that we had from each night.

On this first night, we gathered at the Gold Pearl Restaurant on the lower level for the 6:00 p.m. dining time.   Continue reading

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. (Bayside, Miami)

Located at Bayside Marketplace, 401 Biscayne Blvd in Miami

Bubba Gump!!  I’ve been wanting to go to this restaurant to dine at ever since I heard about it from the others from last years’s convention!  It’s a well-known seafood chain restaurant all over the U.S. that heavily relies on decor and themes from the movie “Forrest Gump”.  I finally had the chance to try this restaurant out after our team booked a reservation for all of us on the last day of Miami before the cruise.   Continue reading
