Gigantic Seafood Feast at Club 21

Posted on October 1, 2014 by stenoodie

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.

Posted on September 29, 2014 by stenoodie

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)

Posted on September 28, 2014 by stenoodie

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! 🙂

Royale Fine Dining & Banquet

Posted on September 27, 2014 by stenoodie

Located at 648 Silver Star Blvd in Scarborough

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.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Nighttime

Posted on September 26, 2014 by stenoodie

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 →

Delicious Shanxi Food at Magic Noodle!

Posted on September 25, 2014 by stenoodie

Located at 2190 McNicoll Ave in Scarborough

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 →

Beef Noodle Restaurant

Located at 4271 Sheppard Ave E. in Toronto

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 →

First Time Stand-Up Paddle Boarding!

Posted on September 22, 2014 by stenoodie

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.
