For a more interesting interpretation of this week’s photo challenge of Angular, I choose this photo. For this mascot/cartoon character of a children’s clothing store, being angular is a way of life. Continue reading

Toronto should have more of these! Why aren’t these more in the food industry? Is it because of big-name chains like Tim Hortons and Menchies that crowd out all the small-size snack shops? Or maybe because Torontonians care more for sugary sweets than fresh fruits (lack of access to these). Continue reading

Everyone knows about Ajisen Ramen. It’s one of the first ramen places that popped up in Toronto before the ramen craze began. Before that, it’s always been a global franchise that has shown off its ramen and tendon pork ribs broth in many countries around the world. Continue reading

Simple meals are best! Despite loving unique dishes and out-of-the-ordinary cuisines or delicacies, I crave the simplest meals often. An example is congee! After many heavy meals with high GI foods, a meal with lots of veggies and simple carbs is best. Continue reading

Tsui Wah Restaurant is located right next to Tai Hing. They are both HK-style restaurants where you can order breakfast sets, lunch sets, afternoon tea, dinner, and more (do I still refer to these cafes as ‘HK-style’ if they are actually located in HK? Lol — rhetorical question). Continue reading

My family and I had dinner and morning dim sum at Chiuchow Garden Restaurant on two separate occasions. It’s a nice restaurant that has huge chandeliers that hang from their ceilings. It was the very first thing that I noticed. Continue reading

For an afternoon brunch, we went to Federal Palace for dim sum and noodles. This is a restaurant in Yau Ma Tei that spans the 3rd to 5th floor.

Talk about a ‘real’ HK style cafe! We went to one today! In Hong Kong! You can’t beat even the best ones outside of Asia with an actual one in HK! Hehe 🙂
Tai Hing is a modern ‘cha chan teng’ that is clean and designed modernly residing in the inside of the Sha Tin Plaza with brightly lit lights as its sign out front.
