ACYE Sushi at Yang’s Kitchen

Located at 4261 Regional Rd 7 in Markham

The first time I went to Yang’s Kitchen for all-you-can-eat sushi was for Justin’s farewell dinner several years ago when he was leaving Toronto to go to Asia.  I’ve always had a fond memory of the food we had there that night — the sushi was absolutely delicious!   Continue reading

Pho Viet at Warden and Steeles‏ [Defunct]

Located at 7010 Warden Ave. Unit 17 &18 in Markham

The other week, a bunch of us had finished some amazing training by the millionaire with the name of Keith Doyle and welcome another friend into our team — it was an amazing weekend to say the least.  Six of us dined together at Pho Viet.  Even though a few of us had just had pho that morning, it was a good option of all the rest of the restaurants at the Warden and Steeles plaza.   Continue reading

Weekly Photo Challenge: Refraction

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

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka in Toronto

Located at 91 Dundas St East in Toronto

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

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

Chinese Halal Restaurant

Located at 668 Silver Star Blvd in Scarborough

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!   Continue reading

AYCE Sushi at Matsuda Japanese Cuisine

Located at 5651 Steeles Ave E in Scarborough

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
