This is the first time that I’ve had vegan food at a western restaurant. By vegan food, I mean that the restaurant actually makes mock meat, also known as seitan. I was happily surprised to see Grasslands on this year’s summerlicious roster and was eager to try it out. When I called to make the reservation, I was informed that the 6 p.m. first seating was already full and that we had to take the 8:30 p.m. second seating. Continue reading

Yay! I got a chance to play another escape room game, Great Escape! The first time I’ve ever played one of these new trend games was at ESC-IT which I really enjoyed! (I ended up going again after my first time and we solved one room — the Library. Yayyy).
In any case, a couple of my friends decided to go to Great Escape last weekend to try two of their room puzzles. Continue reading

I couldn’t believe how amazing the Eggs Benedict was at this restaurant!
Sunshine Spot resides at a small plaza on Sheppard Avenue in North York between Leslie and Bayview next to a sushi restaurant. It isn’t a place that you would think would have amazing food as it’s in the middle of nowhere it seems and doesn’t seem very prominent. Continue reading
Rock Lobster located at 110 Ossington Ave in Toronto
Rock Lobster has been on my to-go-to list for a while now so I was very happy when Christine and I were finally able to set a time to go there to try it out. While walking from the Dundas streetcar to the restaurant which is located on Ossington, I noticed that Ossington also is the home for restaurants like Hawker Bar and many other open-patio restaurants.

My friend Grace currently suffers from an autoimmune disease and has eczema which has plagued her life and normal day-to-day routine for the past several months. She’s slowly getting better but is still only able to come out on really good days and for short periods of time. (Get better soon, Grace!) I was lucky enough to meet up with Grace and catch up over some greasy food at this diner-style restaurant in Thornhill.
The only server at Wimpy’s that day was very friendly and easy to talk to. Continue reading
My beautiful, growing team (with key partners missing)
I wasn’t planning on blogging about this event as we have corings/team meetings every single week. However, for this coring that we had last night, the energy that we had was through the roof. First of all, I got to speak again in front of all these amazing people. Continue reading
Window of the World, China. August 2009
I don’t know why but the moment I saw this week’s photo challenge of relic, I immediately thought of this photo. This is a replica of the Globose that exists in the public Anthropology Museum of Mexico that I saw at the Window of the World when I was travelling in China several years ago. Continue reading

After another really tiring court reporting session, I had a late lunch at Symposium Café with my mom on a Tuesday afternoon. There are many locations of this casual cafe all around GTA with the most recent one opening in the Markham area. I’ve seen several friends post about this restaurant so I was pretty curious to try it out for myself. Continue reading
Beautiful Las Vegas. June 13-16, 2014
As most of you can tell from my recent posts, I went to Las Vegas last month! It was half business and half pleasure and I got to see so much and learn from some inspiring people in the process. I’d never been to Las Vegas before and wasn’t sure what to expect. Continue reading

It was our last night in Vegas! I was going to miss it; all the good food, the energy, the sparse yet comfortable crowds, the dry heat, all the new things I got to see — we had to make the most of our last night!
Vivian and I were checking online at the Venetian (yay free wifi) to see which restaurants would be good enough for our last meal in Vegas before we jetted back home. Continue reading
