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.

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. Continue reading

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

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

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

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
