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
This place is a gem! Hai Tang Bakery & Coffee was predominantly a bakery where you could buy Chinese buns and baked goods, but over time it has transformed into a little cafe where you can order extremely cheap combo meals for food that is delicious and in large portions! They serve breakfast items, and lunch and dinner combos as well. Continue reading

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
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

This week’s photo challenge displays the proverbial sign of spring: Flowers blooming and trees budding! Just look at these little buds open up and blossom into leaves. : )
Little Norway Park in downtown Toronto
Last week, as part of the spring time Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup, a group of eager Mother Nature lovers and I landed upon Little Norway Park to rid its space of any litter that others have left behind. The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup is an initiative started by the WWF and the Vancouver Aquarium that happens on a bi-yearly basis across Canada to improve the appearance of our shorelines and protects wildlife from human garbage.

Sharing food all night with good friends : )
My friend Clarissa held her bachelorette party last weekend at West 50 Pourhouse & Grille in Mississauga. We had our own private room for over 25 guests. It was a nice secluded area for us to mingle, eat, and catch up. An interesting part about this restaurant is that after 9:30 p.m., there is a live band playing and it turns into a lounge/club where there is a $5 cover charge for dancing. Continue reading

My dear friend Tracy celebrated her birthday at Bier Markt last weekend. (Happy [post] birthday, Tracy!!!!) I’ve never been to Bier Markt before even though they have a number of locations all across Toronto — this one, King West, the Esplanade, Don Mills, Queensway, and Square One. From its name, you can tell that it specializes in beer and a lot of it! Continue reading
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

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
