At first, I thought Ocean Seafood Restaurant was a Chinese restaurant that only featured fancy six-course dinners with seafood and chicken and your other typical Chinese dishes. However, when we walked in looking for a casual HK-style cafe, Ocean Seafood Restaurant actually had a breakfast and lunch combo that fit exactly what a HK-style cafe serves! Continue reading

After we had lunch and checked out the Matsuri Japanese Summer Festival, we headed to Roll Play Cafe for some indoor fun. Roll Play Cafe is not the first board game cafe to arrived in Toronto; Snakes and Lattes was. Like a typical board game cafe, it features shelves and shelves of board games that you can play with for a set fee of $5. Rosa and Qiqi had been here before and back then they used to set a minimum order of $7 or so instead of a set playing fee where you could order food as part of the $7. Continue reading
Bayside Marketplace, Miami. February 2014
This week’s photo challenge really reminds me of how we sometimes just have to take random pictures when you’re in the moment because you never know how the picture or memory can come into use. What I’m talking about specifically is how I managed to dig up this photo that I took this year when I went to Miami for the first time with some wonderful people. Continue reading
1 Dundas St E in Toronto
My friends and I took a quick peek at the 2nd annual Toronto Japanese Summer Festival, Matsuri, that was happening downtown on the summery day of July 27. The weather was really nice with a slight breeze and very, very sunny. There were a lot of stalls selling Japanese art, cutlery, dolls, and performances on stage too. Of course, there was also a line-up of food stalls featuring Japanese vendors like Fin Izakaya, Touhenboku, Kingyo, and more. Continue reading

Rosa doesn’t come to downtown Toronto very often so it was so nice to meet up with her when she was in town recently. Along with Qiqi, we were looking for a food joint in the Dundas and College area. We stopped food searching when we came across Lebanon Express since Rosa had never had a shawarma before. Continue reading

This restaurant, Noodle Star, is another variation of the many “Congee Queens”, “Congee Wongs”, and “Congee Times” out there. They’re Chinese-owned and run and serve everything from breakfast sets to lunch sets to dinner sets with anything from chow mein to fried rice to noodle soups and of course congee.
Located at 6380 Fallsview Blvd in Niagara Falls
Last month, my mom and I had dinner at this fancy schmacy Italian restaurant, Ponte Vecchio, which is located in Niagara Falls in the Fallsview Casino. The atmosphere was romantic and the light fixtures were so pretty that I just had to take pictures of it. Our server was so genuine and accommodating all night that I really do have to commend her services. Continue reading
Green Grotto Tea Room located at 3623 Hwy 7 in Markham
Did you know that there’s a Green Grotto Tea Room located at Highway 7 & Warden? It’s in the plaza where Paintlounge used to be and where that sushi restaurant, Gal’s Sushi, still is. During the break at one of our seminars last month, we visited this Green Grotto briefly for a snack and drink. Continue reading

There’s no doubt that this picture was the first one that popped into my head when I saw the theme for this week’s photo challenge. This was taken back in October 2010 when 1-3-5 celebrated our birthdays together! Continue reading
