My mom and I had a late lunch at Congee Time sometime last week after I was done my half day of court reporting. Yayyyy! I love not having to work the full day and getting time to spend with my mom. Shouldn’t life be like that every day?
In any case, I’ve never been to this Congee Time before. I believe that they copied the more popular Chinese congee establishments like Congee Wong and Congee Queen. Continue reading
Haters are those people who doubt you, push you down, and don’t think that you can do something. Last week, I found out that one of my beloved charity organizations was hosting their annual event! ORBIS, an organization dedicated to helping eliminate childhood preventable blindness in developing countries that also has a fully equipped “flying eye hospital”, was hosting their 6th Annual Plane Pull!

Foods from May TUM!
TUM! What does that word mean to you? Does it make you think of ‘tummy’ as in your stomach? ‘Tums’ as in the little pills that help you with heartburn after a heavy meal? In Toronto, “TUM” means a foodie event called the Toronto Underground Market that occurs every couple of months in Toronto! Continue reading

Reptilia Zoo, Vaughan. March 2014
This week’s photo challenge was a little difficult for me to narrow down. What is a twist? It could be a twist of licorice, a twist of a plot in a story, a physical twist of a strand of hair or arm (painful!) or a twist in song and dance (Twist n Shout!). Continue reading

How many Hong Kong style cafes are out there in the predominantly Asian-populated communities of Markham, Richmond Hill, and Scarborough? There’s so many that I still haven’t tried them all! These restaurants feature dozens and dozens of delicious foods that are served with a drink or soup and are always cozy and affordable! Continue reading
Yay!
Yay! This was definitely something fun and challenging to accomplish!
When my friend Holly pitched the idea of doing a 10K to me and Joyce, I was quite hesitant. Actually, she pitched the idea to me after I ran my first 5K and second 5K’s. Both 5K races were really more fun than competition/full out running. Continue reading
Who doesn’t like free things?!

As a way to thank my readers who have been following stenoodie and enjoying my posts, I am giving away two 20% off discount cards to a restaurant that I’ve dined at recently — I’ve been to Aragvi Restaurant twice within the last month and have loved both their food and service (view my reviews here and here).

Aragvi Restaurant (previously) located at 832 Sheppard Ave W in North York
I had the pleasure of being invited to dine at Aragvi Restaurant by one of the managers. Arik noticed that I wrote a very honest and positive review of their restaurant back when I visited Aragvi last month with my friend Jen that he wanted to show his appreciation by inviting me back to the restaurant for some food. Continue reading

Sarah and I had dinner at Mei Nung Beef Noodle House which is located in First Markham Place — I swear, this place has so many restaurants around its outside mall strip that I still haven’t tried every single one yet! Some restaurants that I’ve been to are: Ding Tai Fung Shanghai Dim Sum, Firefly Seafood & Steakhouse, Lemon Tree, Lambie Bubble Tea, and most recently Aka Teppan, among others. Continue reading
