Chiu Chow Boy

Located at 3261 Kennedy Rd in Scarborough

Being backlogged on my stenoodie food blog posts means that I sometimes go to a restaurant again before I have even blogged about it the first time that I stepped foot inside.  This happened to Chiu Chow Boy recently!  I first stepped into this restaurant when I was a young child and really don’t remember much about this restaurant.   Continue reading

Hero Certified Burgers in Vaughan (across from Wonderland)

Located at 9781 Jane St in Vaughan

After we rode on the Leviathan for the first time (for most of us), it was time for lunch.  I have really smart friends, so instead of dining in at the restaurants and fast food joints inside the theme park, we walked 5 minutes to cross the parking lot and street in order to eat at the local places instead (so much cheaper!).   Continue reading

Zakkushi

Located at 193 Carlton St in Toronto

For Jessica’s birthday, we went to Zakkushi, which is an authentic Japanese izakaya in Cabbagetown (you can get there easily on the College streetcar going east).  It’s a really nicely decorated restaurant that is cozy and separated by wooden panels (at least the area that we were seated at).  All of the staff spoke Japanese and our server was so warm and friendly throughout our entire stay there.   Continue reading

Aoyama Sushi

Located at 2766 Victoria Park Ave in North York

I was able to catch up with Rosemarie at a Japanese restaurant near the area of Victoria Park and Finch.  It was a rainy night and I’m so glad that I got a parking spot right in front of the restaurant so I didn’t have to risk drenching myself in the heavy rain.   Continue reading

Weekly Photo Challenge: Signs

Taken in September 2010 on a road trip to Ottawa

Don’t you just love seeing these signs?  It means that you’re travelling and on the journey to go to a different location.  I love travelling and it’s pretty fun to see these signs on the highway as you pass them by on your road trip and see yourself getting closer and closer to the destination.  This weekend, we’re going on a EC Family Road Trip!!!!   Continue reading

Ho Garden Chinese Restaurant

Located at 9255 Woodbine Avenue., Unit 10 in Markham

October 2014:  First of all, I’m not sure who named this restaurant or why this restaurant is even named “Ho Garden” considering that we are in a country where English is one of the two official languages.  I would understand if we were in Hong Kong or Asia where the translation of the names from one language doesn’t exactly correlate well, but this is just funny.  Ho Garden is really just a typical HK-style Chinese restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner sets.   Continue reading

Gigantic Seafood Feast at Club 21

Located at 6380 Fallsview Blvd in Niagara Falls

When you think of Club 21, you really think that there is a club here!  However, Club 21 is simply the name of a restaurant that resides inside the Fallsview Casino at the famed Niagara Falls.  As such, no minors are allowed into this fine establishment.  When we arrived a little after 5 p.m., there were only around 2 tables dining.  We were very early and it was great since we were able to get a table in the room overlooking the falls.  The three “walls” were all made of glass so we were able to overlook the trees and the beautiful falls as well.  It was a gorgeous restaurant to dine in.

Dragon Dynasty Chinese Cuisine

Located at 2301 Brimley Rd in Scarborough

It’s a little surprising that it’s taken me this long to blog about this restaurant.  Dragon Dynasty Chinese Cuisine is a Chinese restaurant that I’ve frequented many, many times.  We visit this restaurant often for dim sum on Sundays and also to have family dinners.   Continue reading

Serissa Cafe (defunct)

Located at 3601 HWY 7 East, Unit 119 in Markham

Serissa is a bubble tea and Taiwanese cafe hidden away in the plaza where Gal’s Sushi and Green Grotto is at Highway 7 and Warden.  I had seen friends post pictures of food and drinks Serissa but I had never seen the restaurant or visited it.  Jason and I had drinks here and really enjoyed what a cozy and small place it was.

This blog post isn’t much, but here are the drinks that we had.

I enjoyed mine! 🙂
