Located at 93 Harbord St in Toronto
For my 6th Summerlicious restaurant this 2014 season, I ate with three other friends at 93 Harbord. What’s interesting about this restaurant is that their name is the same as their address. That way if you ever meet up with friends here, you can’t say you don’t know what the address is since the name and address are one and the same. Continue reading
Located at 2901 Bayview Ave in North York
There aren’t very many uptown Summerlicious restaurants to choose from but I still managed to meet up with a friend for lunch. One of these happened to be Origin North which is located in the Bayview Village shopping area. It isn’t located inside the posh shopping mall, but Origin North stands alone as its own building in the parking lot. Continue reading
Containers within a container! July 2014
Haha, what timing. Last week, I ordered a water bottle that comes with a filter inside so that when you travel or go out, you can fill up the water from a water fountain and your water will be filtered and safe to drink! No chlorine, odor, or weird taste. Since this week’s challenge is all about containers, Continue reading
Yang’s Chinese Cuisine located at 8432 Leslie St Unit 110 in Markham
Yang’s Chinese Cuisine is located in Markham near Highway 7 and Leslie. It’s your typical Chinese restaurant where you check off the items you want to order on a sheet of paper and submit it to the server who will then bring it to the kitchen and gradually deliver the various steamed baskets of baos and delicacies to your table to enjoy with tea.

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. Continue reading

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
