banchan from Lim Ga Ne

Lim Ga Ne located at 5529 Yonge Street in North York

May 8, 2014:  Yesterday, I blogged about a Korean restaurant in the downtown part of Koreatown.  Today’s blog post features Lim Ga Ne, another Korean restaurant but in the other Koreatown — the uptown one at Yonge and Finch!  Essentially, both Koreatowns are similar as they both have some of the same restaurants and have a large concentration of Korean customers (they both have Joons and this restaurant!).

Snakes & Lattes, Board Game Café

Located at 600 Bloor Street W in Toronto

Snakes & Lattes is a board game café and was the first one to open and gain prominence in Toronto.  The idea is simple:  You pay a cover of $5 to enter the cozy establishment with friend or two or more, choose a board game from the array of choices on the bookshelves, and sit down and play.   Continue reading

On the move from our tour bus to the Jinan Railway Station and en route to Shanghai!  July 2013

Upon seeing the subject of this week’s photo challenge, I knew immediately — IMMEDIATELY — of which photo to feature.  Haha, this photo definitely embodies what I think “on the move” means and those of us who were actually in this picture would agree with me, I’m sure!

3rd Annual Toronto Wing Festival

3rd Annual Toronto Wing Festival at Daniels Spectrum

This was my first time attending Toronto’s Wing Festival.  Apparently this was the third year that they hosted it.  I’m sure a lot of people don’t even know about this festival, so hopefully this blog post will bring more awareness to this foodie event and also have you drooling over my chicken wing pictures.  Hahaha, I’m joking about the last part, but I really did eat a lot of wings this past weekend. =]   Continue reading

Eating Caribbean Food at Cravins!

Located at 7270 Woodbine Ave in Markham

I can’t believe that this is the first time I can recall trying and eating jerk chicken!  I’ve always heard of this dish but somehow it has always eluded my dining choices.  Who knew that there was such an authentic Caribbean eatery around the Markham area for this type of food?   Continue reading

Late Night Desserts at Hung Fook Tong

Located at 633 Silver Star Boulevard, Unit 121 in Scarborough

Hung Fook Tong is a restaurant that specializes in Chinese desserts.  The name Hung Fook Tong is well recognised in Hong Kong and Asia where the company has numerous stores and products.  It’s a popular spot to grab some late night dessert.  In terms of whether this restaurant comes from the same company as the legitimate one in Hong Kong, I’m doubtful.  Continue reading

Japanese Express

A need for a speedy lunch led us to eat at Japanese Express in Pacific Mall.  This is not so much a real restaurant as just one of the many food shops open in the food court area on the second floor of the famed Asian super mall.   Continue reading
