Fresh Burger (Richmond Hill location)

Fresh Burger located at 9206 Leslie Street in Richmond Hill

Not only have I passed by Fresh Burger several times but I’ve also heard about its appeal from several friends recently.  Thus, it was only natural for me to hop in for a visit and see what all the hype was about! 🙂

Fresh Burger is a family-owned business located in a small plaza near a Tim Hortons at the intersection of Leslie and 16th.   Continue reading

Mi-NE Japanese Restaurant

Located at 10815 Yonge St in Richmond Hill

A little simple lunch with a simple hang-out with a friend:  Jenny and I had sushi at Mi-NE Japanese Restaurant last week.  It’s a restaurant that has a location in Richmond Hill (and apparently is not linked to the locations in Markham, Aurora, and downtown*).  It has garnered fairly high reviews online and is worth checking out.   Continue reading

Museum Tavern

Located at 208 Bloor St. W. #201 in Toronto

After a thorough and fascinating learning experience at the ROM’s Forbidden City exhibit, Godwin, Gen, and I headed for some early dinner at Museum Tavern.  I’ve heard lots of good things about this restaurant!  At least two friends of mine who tried out their Winterlicious menu in February commented that the food was great.   Continue reading

Georgian Dishes at Aragvi Restaurant

Located at 832 Sheppard Ave W in North York

This restaurant blew my socks off!  Despite the high ratings on urbanspoon that this restaurant earned, I never expected the food to be THIS good!  I definitely recommend a visit to this probably-overlooked restaurant in North York.

My friend Jen and I chose to catch up Aragvi Restaurant.   Continue reading

Weekly Photo Challenge: Letters

my steno machine that I use to type with : )

Instead of showing you a picture of letters, whether of how the alphabet can be rendered in different shapes, fonts, or sizes, or of physical letters that you send through snail mail, let me show you how I “type” out letters on an everyday basis:  I use my stenograph!

Sea Urchin Shooters & Stone Grilled Beef at Kingyo Izakaya!

My very first sea urchin shooter! ^_^

This past long weekend was an amazing long foodie adventure.  It started off with some raw food, speeding on Segways, and having Mexican brunch.  At night time, a fellow foodie friend and I went to Kingyo Izakaya on a journey to keep the taste buds dancing.

I’ve had my eye on Kingyo Izakaya for a while!   Continue reading

A Mexican Brunch at El Catrin Destileria

Located at 18 Tank House Lane in Toronto

After some (and I’m putting major emphasis on the word) light activity on the Segways, my three amigos and I headed for some brunch in the Distillery District!  It was a beautiful spring day and we strolled along the cobbled bricks to see what was down the lane to find a brunch spot.

I didn’t recognize the name of El Catrin Destileria until later that night when I hopped on urbanspoon to “like” this restaurant.   Continue reading

Riding a Segway around the Distillery District!!

Segway Tour in the Distillery District in Toronto!

The first time I saw a Segway in person was last summer when I was in Nashville.  Cynthia and I were heading to the Grand Ole Opry and passing through the Opry Mills mall when I noticed a “mall cop” on a Segway.  I was so amused!  I’d only seen a Segway before in movies and didn’t know that mall cops actually existed.   Continue reading

I made the mistake of venturing to Main Street Unionville instead of Main Street North when meeting up with Steph for dinner at Rawlicious.  Don’t make the same mistake that I did!

Rawlicious has a number of branches located all across Ontario.   Continue reading
