Here’s a little ‘recommendation’ post. Do you ladies (or gentlemen for that matter) have trouble keeping an even skin tone and flawless complexion? Everyone wants amazing looking and soft skin that is free from blemishes and dilated pores. Other than good skincare, did you know that there is also another way to take care of your skin? Beauty begins with a good cleansing habit but most people forget that health and beauty also come from within. Continue reading →

Panera Bread (downtown/Ryerson location)

Posted on June 15, 2014 by stenoodie

Located at 322 Yonge Street in Toronto

Wow, I was very surprised with how amazing Panera Bread was! I’ve heard from friends that Panera Bread was amazing, but I never expected to fall in love with it that much. It was so great that I actually went to the same location for food twice in one day. Continue reading →

Dim Sum at Golden Court Abalone Restaurant

Posted on June 13, 2014 by stenoodie

Located at 270 West Beaver Creek Road in Richmond Hill

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 →

Desserts at Caffé Demetré [Defunct]

Posted on June 12, 2014 by stenoodie

Located at 100 York Boulevard in Richmond Hill

I’ve been to Caffé Demetré for dessert at this location in the past. It’s a really nice and modern restaurant that specializes in only desserts and drinks. Talk about a sugar rush! They have a huge menu full of waffles, ice cream, cakes, crepes, coffees and teas! It’s a great place to go to hang out with friends for a late night chat over some sweet treats which is what Jen and I did on this Saturday night. Continue reading →

Sushi Dragon on Anime North night

Posted on June 11, 2014 by stenoodie

Located at 634 Dixon Road in Etobicoke

After a full evening of walking around the Anime North convention and taking pictures of many amazing cosplays, we opted for dinner at Sushi Dragon that was just a 3-minute walk from the Toronto Convention Centre. Since the anime/manga convention was right next door to this restaurant and many others, there were a lot of hungry cosplay fans and convention goers at this time. Continue reading →

My first time attending Anime North!

Posted on June 10, 2014 by stenoodie

The Final Fantasy cosplay group photoshoot at Anime North 2014

I’ve never been a huge anime/manga fanatic. In my childhood, I grew up with Sailor Moon as my first exposure to “anime”. However, I didn’t see it like an obsession or an interest where I would be dressing up as one of the characters. It was simply a fun TV show that I watched. Continue reading →

Eating Tacos at Seven Lives – Tacos y Mariscos

Posted on June 9, 2014 by stenoodie

Located at 69 Kensington Avenue in Toronto

Seven Lives – Tacos y Mariscos is a taco joint in Kensington Market that is extremely popular. It specializes in “So-Cal/Baja style seafood”. I thought it was a sit-down restaurant, but to my surprise, when I got there, there are only 2 main tables and a standing table connected to the wall for guests. Continue reading →

Thai Food at Sukhothai

Posted on June 8, 2014 by stenoodie

Located at 52 Wellington Street E in Toronto

After a little snack at The Island Cafe and some more chillaxing at the beach at Ward’s Island, Ipana had a fantastic suggestion of going to Sukhothai for dinner. Apparently it is comparable to the popular Khao San Road Thai restaurant that is on Adelaide Street. As a foodie, I just had to try it out and was very happy to know that it was open on a holiday Monday (Victoria Day). Continue reading →

The Island Cafe (Ward’s Island)

Posted on June 7, 2014 by stenoodie

Located at 20 Withrow Street on the Toronto Islands

Here’s a small highlight of a restaurant that we visited when we spent our Victoria Day weekend at Centre Island (or Ward’s Island specifically). I know, I know… Victoria Day has long passed since it was in the last Monday of May, but I’m still catching up on my backlog of blog posts. :]

Five of us enjoyed the lazy Monday holiday by chatting and relaxing on the beach with some wine and good company. When we got a little hungry, we visited The Island Cafe for some munchies. Continue reading →
