Toledo, Spain. October 2014
This week’s photo challenge was indeed a challenge. I realized I’ve never purposely taken a ‘minimalist’ photo before. It takes some skill and the right setting and object if you aim to have it monotone, contain negative space, with good contrast. Continue reading

After a chilly and spooky night out at Canada Wonderland’s Halloween Haunt, we headed to 100 Degrees Hot Pot Restaurant for the perfect time to warm up and refuel over hot pot. Hot pot is a do-it-yourself cuisine where you have a pot full of pre-prepared broth or soup boiling in order to cook food in front of you. Continue reading

After our dinner at Rodney’s Oyster House, we strolled over to Soma Chocolate. It’s a chocolate paradise for those who have a sweet tooth as they have every type of chocolate and nut combination available.

I was a little disappointed with our night out at Rodney’s Oyster House when we celebrated our 1-3-5 October birthday dinner there. I’ve been to Rodney’s Oyster House in the past. I remember ordering their lobster club, shrimp jambalaya, and oysters with my friends before we headed out to see War Horse. Continue reading

I haven’t dined at a Moxie’s in a while so when Justin suggested it to catch up over dinner here, I was all for it. I took a look at the online menu before I left my house (when you think about this, 20 years ago people weren’t even able to do this! — It really shows you how technology has moved on and integrated itself into our daily lives so smoothly) and I already picked out what I wanted to eat.

After our first awesome seafood feast, we returned again for another yummy meal at Club 21.
This time, our server wasn’t as professional and friendly as last time’s which put a little bit of a damper to the mood of the evening (great service and pleasantries are so important to a night out!). Continue reading
Toledo, Spain. October 31, 2014
Ha! When I saw the theme for this week’s photo challenge, I knew right away which photo to feature. For all of my past photo challenge pictures (except one — pun intended), I’ve been using pictures that are old — anywhere from a week to 8 years old. This photo that I’ve chosen for this week’s challenge was actually taken today! Continue reading

Gold Mark Chinese Cuisine is a Chinese restaurant that is newly opened. I noticed it when driving on streets of John Street and Woodbine since The Fish House previously occupied this place. I was so disappointed to find that that Western seafood restaurant had closed down. Continue reading

On our weekend trip to Blue Mountain in Collingwood, after climbing through caves and mountain sides, we had lunch at Swiss Chalet. Swiss Chalet is a popular and rather ubiquitous family chain restaurant in Ontario that serves rotisserie chicken with their specialty Chalet Sauce. Continue reading

My mom and I were in this area of the neighborhood up at Elgin Mills and Leslie and decided to try out this small Chinese HK-style cafe that I’ve noticed residing in the same plaza as the Sunset Grill.
It was a modern and casual style diner (which had free wifi! — Score!). They had many selections of food that came with a spring roll or soup and a drink. As always, HK style cafes offer a ton of choices that are characteristically delicious and affordable. Continue reading
