Weekly Photo Challenge: Textures

Wasaga Beach, Ontario.  August 2014

This picture is one that I took recently at Wasaga Beach.  It was my first time there and I definitely had to stick my feet in the water to see what it was like.  It was neat to see that there was a pattern created in the water due to the waves.  Here’s what I saw:

Partial SMC Reunion at Beerbistro

Located at 18 King Street East in Toronto

Beerbistro is a popular place to hang out for food and drinks, and especially for beer given their name.  My friends and I have tried on two occasions to make a dinner get-together here but failed for it to go through because Beerbistro has a strict policy on leaving a $600 deposit for parties over 8.  Hopefully you read this review, Beerbistro , because based on that reservation policy alone, you’ve lost out on two potential groups of customers.  Continue reading

Fish Noodle Soup at Deer Garden Signatures

Located at 633 Silver Star Boulevard in Scarborough

My mom and I went for this specialty fish soup noodles place on a summery Friday at Deer Garden Restaurant and the place was packed!!  Either it was because it was summer and all the kids and adults were out or this is just a popular restaurant in general, but we had to wait 10 minutes before we got a table booth.   Continue reading

Prix Fixe Lunch at Smash Kitchen & Bar

Located at 4261 Highway 7 East in Markham

A couple of weeks ago, my blogger friend Violet and I went on a lunch date to Smash Kitchen and Bar in Markham!  Upon arriving at the restaurant and being seated at a spacious booth that could have fitted two more, I realised that there was a prix fixe menu being offered!  I immediately became aware that it was being offered as part of the York Region Savour the Seasons event that is happening from July 14 to 27.  Continue reading

A Quick Dinner at iQ Food Co.

Located at 181 Bay St in Toronto

Before we sat our butts down to watch the nearly 4-hour long Katy Perry concert on a Monday (2 hours opening acts + 2 hours KP), Jenny and I dined at iQ Food Co.  I was searching for something quick to eat that was near the Air Canada Centre and came across this restaurant on urbanspoon.   Continue reading

Summerlicious 2014 Restaurant #9: Banu

Located at 777 Queen St W in Toronto

Banu was my final stop on my Summerlicious 2014 journey this year (insert sad face).  The three October babies reunited again for a prix fixe meal; I think that’s what we do best and enjoy the most. 🙂

Banu features Iranian cuisine, one that I’m sure I haven’t tried before.  I was excited to try out all the dishes on their menu.  🙂 I’ve seen it before many times on previous Summerlicious & Winterlicious so I know this restaurant has been around for a while.   Continue reading

The Pottery Restaurant

Located at 110 Jozo Weider Blvd at the Blue Mountains

I originally wasn’t planning to blog about this restaurant since we didn’t really dine in at The Pottery Restaurant, but their take-out service was so exceptional that I really wanted to highlight them.  An hour before we were to depart from Blue Mountain after our wonderful weekend away playing survival team games and treetop trekking, we gathered at the Blue Mountain inn to wait for our lovely coach bus to take us back to Markham.  Continue reading
