Leslie Café

Located at 149B Ravel Road in North York

Hello typical Hong Kong style cafe!  After the very dehydrating plane pull on June 1 (see post here), I went for lunch with Richard and Mike.  Even though they didn’t participate in the plane pull, they showed up just to support me and my team.  Seriously, what wonderful friends I have! ^_^  They took me to Leslie Café which is an old favourite of Richard’s since it’s around his ‘hood.

Leslie Café is located on the corner of Finch and Leslie in North York.   Continue reading →

Posted on June 20, 2014 by stenoodie

Toronto, Canada. July 2011

After a yummy and fun lunch at Toula for Summerlicious in 2011, Tracy and I explored the Toronto Harbourfront on a bright and hot summer day.  We walked by Sugar Beach, a Wave Deck, and this!  Who knew that there would be a lookalike Stonehenge monument standing there on the grassy ground near the shore in the middle of the city?

Located at 3160 Steeles Ave East, Unit 2 in Markham

I haven’t seen Angel in a couple of years and we finally were able to schedule a day to have lunch together and catch up.  It’s been a while since those Saturday tutoring days!  Angel had been to Niwatei Japanese Restaurant for ramen before but I hadn’t, so I was excited to try out this restaurant that was located in J-town (where I’ve also had food from Shiso Tree Cafe and Izakaya Ju).   Continue reading →

Trip to the maritimes, Canada.  July 2007

This past week’s photo challenge brings into focus something that is an extra part in our lives.  Since I’ve been travelling in the past week, I think this photo is fitting.  This picture was taken when I was traveling in 2007 to the maritimes.  My fellow friend carried a little blue bear with him on the trip as we discovered the eastern provinces of Canada on a bus tour:

I’ve heard a lot of great things about this Chinese restaurant, one of which is that this place is so good that it’s worth its high price point.  I heard from a friend a long time along that his cousin got married here and the food was amazing and it was well worth the bills to eat here.   Continue reading →
