Opening of the ROM, Toronto. June 2007
When lining up to get into the new ROM building back then in 2007, we took a picture of the crystal windows that reflected the scene from the street in downtown Toronto. That’s what this week’s photo challenge led me to in my treasure trove of photos. 🙂 Continue reading

October 2014: I’m a little late on completing the ramen craze that’s landed in Toronto, but here I am reviewing Hokkaido Ramen Santouka!
Jessica and I dined here on a Thursday night and the line-up was huge! There was construction going on outside the restaurant at the time so it was amusing to me that everyone lining up stood on top of a wooden plank.
Luckily, Jessica was here early and we got a spot in a small yet cozy seating area (thank you, Jessica!). Continue reading

After having received the free $50 gift card from Elephant & Castle (they enlisted my help to run a contest to give away a gift card and I got the same gift in return. Yay!), Jen and I went there to dine and try it out.
I’ve walked past this location of Elephant & Castle on King Street many times before. Continue reading

After watching La Grand Cirque — Adrenaline at the Avalon Theatre, we headed to Ponte Vecchio for dinner. I’ve been to this restaurant once before and really loved the service and the food. We were soooo full last time that we weren’t even able to finish all that we ordered.
This time, we ordered just enough and even had room for dessert. Continue reading

You learn something new every day and I’m so thankful that I got to learn something new when I was dining out with Shelley a couple of weeks ago. We met up to have an early dinner at Chinese Halal Restaurant. Up to this point, I didn’t know exactly what “halal” meant. Shelley gave me a quick lesson on what it meant. Yay! Thanks, Shelley!

If you’ve seen my post about the Salmon Run post that we saw a couple of weeks ago (and read it ’till the end), you would have noticed that we went for salmon feasting after the event. (It’s meant to be funny and ironic).
We went to Matsuda Japanese Cuisine, an all-you-can-eat Japanese buffet in Scarborough near Steeles and McCowan Road. Continue reading

Yay, Filipino food! A group of us 8 foodie adventurers gathered together to have dinner at Max’s Restaurant (Max’s of Manila) on a Saturday night. Most of us had never had Filipino food before (I have: here and here) so it was opportunistic to try out this restaurant with everyone — it meant that we could try out many dishes together and share! I’ve heard of this restaurant before by a fellow blogger who recommended Max’s Restaurant and also by Christian who is Filipino. Continue reading
Hong Kong en route to Macao. July 2009
Aw, I found the perfect picture for this week’s photo challenge! This picture was taken in the summer of 2009 in July when I was on vacation. We were at the harbor in Hong Kong and just about to take off in our comfortable ferry to Macao. It was raining outside and I somehow got this picture that fits the “dreamy” theme perfectly. Continue reading

You know we’re serious about trying new restaurants and food when we venture all the way downtown on a weekday to try out School Restaurant which is located by subway and streetcar (you know those pesky streetcars that sometimes take forever to arrive? — I’m just joking, Toronto). Continue reading

Ever since I saw the promotional video for one of Toronto’s newest restaurants called Signs, I knew I wanted to try it out. It’s the only restaurant in Toronto where all of the servers are deaf and use American sign language to communicate with the guests. This takes the dining experience to a whole new level.
