Planet Hollywood
3667 Las Vegas Boulevard S
On our second day at Las Vegas, we were stuffed with information from the Chinese Boot Camp. It was amazing and we learned so much already. As such, we were quite hungry when it came to lunch time. With not too much time, Vivian, Eric, and I dashed over to Planet Hollywood where we had some great sandwiches at Earl of Sandwich. Continue reading

After watching the Stomp! show at the Avalon Theatre at Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort (which was amazing by the way), we headed for an early dinner at the Sushi & Oyster Bar that was located directly inside the casino. This meant that if you have young kids or minors, they can’t eat in there. So exclusive! This place is usually very pricey, but since our friend had some points to use towards dining at the casino, we saw this as a good opportunity to try out the restaurant. Continue reading

I finally got the chance to try Ruby Watchco! I’ve heard rave reviews about this restaurant from two of my friends and I finally had the chance to try it. Yay! Thanks, Clarence, for setting up the dinner event!!
We arrived on a Saturday night and were seated quickly and effortlessly. Continue reading

What is it about a court reporting job that really drains you? Some time a couple of weeks ago, after finishing a half day job at court, I was famished. Instead of waiting around for traffic to subside near the Finch Station area, I ended up satisfying my stomach at Friendly House Restaurant for a late lunch.
Friendly House Restaurant is an unassuming family restaurant located on Yonge Street across from the Food Basics near Cummer Avenue. Continue reading
The Bird’s Nest in Beijing, China. July 2013
Contrasts: The difference between a light and dark place, the difference between a peaceful and noisy place = the Bird’s Nest in Beijing, China currently. After the 2008 Summer Olympics were full of activity, noise, and cause for celebration, it now sits as an empty and lonely shell for curious tourists to visit. Continue reading

This was such a good discovery! Up until I found out about Soban, a little cafe on the second floor located at the corner of Yonge & Finch in North York, I would arrange to meet friends for a chat usually at Princess Cafe — it was a good place to have snacks and drinks with wifi (however, I noticed that sometimes it wasn’t very reliable).

Yay! I finally got a chance to try Bar Isabel!!!! This restaurant has been on the top foodie list on Urbanspoon for several months now. It’s similar to The Black Hoof where you get to share tapa-style dishes with friends. I’ve heard that you need to make reservations weeks in advance for a table, so when Shelley and I decided to come to Bar Isabel, I made sure to call ahead of time to reserve our table.

Steph and I dined at Mona’s Roti several weeks back on a Monday. I was searching for a Caribbean restaurant in Scarborough (I’d been craving for some jerk chicken ever since I discovered it recently). Mona’s Roti restaurant popped up on Urbanspoon as one of the top rated Caribbean restaurants in Scarborough.
Paint Nite!
June 1 was already an eventful day already as you can tell with the plane pull in the morning and lunch with friends in the afternoon. Sarah and I had bought a Groupon to go to Paint Nite. I’d never been there before but have seen friends post about it here and there on facebook.
It was such a good deal! Continue reading
