Another new Chinese restaurant has popped up in Scarborough (on the border to Markham)! We are so lucky here in Toronto that there are so many restaurants in town that you can never run out of new places to try. Imagine if I lived in a small town where the population was 1,000 instead of 2.5 million, this blog would have to take itself to another foodie city in order to keep the posts coming.

Setting lanterns into the sky. October 2012
Back in 2012, my friend Marilyn had the genius idea to celebrate her birthday over a scene most famous in Asian countries like Thailand and Taiwan and even the Disney movie, Tangled. We were in Milne Park and lit up sky lanterns that had our wishes written on it before we let it go into the night sky. Continue reading

For a quick lunch, my mom and I visited Magic Noodle. It’s a restaurant that I’ve heard several friends frequent lately so when we were in the area, I decided to check it out myself too. When I got there, I understood why it was so popular — it was a 24 hour restaurant! No wonder it’s a easily accessible restaurant at all hours of the day. 😀 Continue reading

Recently, Man Crates (Gifts for Men) contacted me about doing a post on the 5 things I would put in a crate if I were to hold a summer cookout. After this summer of many delicious meals, BBQ’s, and quality time spent with family and friends, I am proud to share this post with you all!

After standup paddle boarding in the morning with Smiley Sarah and a comprehensive business training session in which I had a small part in (hehe), Mabel, Sarah, and I went for dinner at a beef noodle place that Mabel frequents. Beef Noodle Restaurant doesn’t look like a great restaurant from the outside but you can say that it’s a gem. It resides on Sheppard Ave E near Midland. Continue reading
Paddle boards
The other day, I posted a picture for the Weekly Photo Challenge about my experience doing stand-up paddle boarding but I haven’t blogged about it yet. Now that I’m done my detox and back to my regular “schedule” of blogging again, the next post in my line-up (still very backlogged) is about the time when Sarah and I went stand-up paddle boarding on August 31.

Salmon Watching in Port Hope, Ontario. September, 2014
I love new experiences and today was definitely a new experience. A group of us went salmon watching in Port Hope in Ontario. It’s about an hour drive east from Markham and I’m glad that we headed out the door early in the morning. It was pouring rain when we left on our mini road trip and a few of us were concerned that there would be thunderstorms and we wouldn’t be able to safely get out to watch the salmon run.

Detox-worthy?
Uh oh, what happened to my daily updates of my September detox?!? Here it is! 😀 As I’ve mentioned before, this second time of doing a detox has been more lax and carefree than the first time when I did it in March. Continue reading
Stand-up Paddle Boarding, August 2014
Recently, I’ve had a taste of endurance when I went on a stand-up paddle boarding session at Sunnyside Park at Lake Ontario this summer. If you don’t have endurance, it will be hard to go on that paddle board and paddle it all the way out and back to shore. 🙂 Continue reading

I’ve been hearing of Eat Fresh Be Healthy for a while now. My friend Vivian posted a picture of the food she ate from here on facebook and commented on how the food was affordable and really great! So when Priscilla and I were thinking of a restaurant to go to recently, we arrived here on a humid summer day.
They have a prix fixe dinner here where they say “the only place you can have a prix fixe gourmet meal here any time of the year”. Continue reading
