Lamb Tongue Sandwiches at Chef Burger!

Posted on February 23, 2014 by stenoodie

Half of the Lamb Tongue Sandwich!
Located at 8910 Yonge Street in Richmond Hill

When walking into Chef Burger, I did not expect that I would be having a lamb tongue sandwich for lunch! This restaurant is part of a plaza on Yonge Street near 16th Avenue and could be considered a hole in the wall as it’s not prominently featured or known about. Despite its obvious intention as a shop selling burgers, the restaurant actually incorporates a Middle Eastern flair into their sandwiches and subs. Continue reading →

Located at 8950 Yonge St in Richmond Hill

I was thoroughly, thoroughly impressed and definitely satisfied with the food that I had at Rifca’s Mediterranean Kitchen! This small mom and pop restaurant is located in Richmond Hill on Yonge near 16th Avenue. I’ve been meaning to try this place out since it is very close to where I reside.
I finally got the chance to pop in here the other day when I was feeling very famished and wanted something quick and filling. Continue reading →

Located at 317 King St W in Toronto
They have live bands playing and featured specials every day!

Ohh, get ready for a really heated review on this next restaurant: The last restaurant that I visited for the Winterlicious 2014 season was Joe Mama’s Bar & Grill.

Winterlicious 2014 Restaurant #3: Tabülè

Posted on February 15, 2014 by stenoodie

Located at 2009 Yonge St in Toronto

I went to Tabülè for lunch as part of the Winterlicious celebrations in Toronto this afternoon. I’ve always wanted to dine at this restaurant since it’s quite popular and because I also wanted to have some Middle Eastern food. Participating in Winterlicious and Summerlicious for several years now, I’ve tried quite a number of predominantly Western restaurants (French, Canadian, etc.) that I really wanted to branch out and try more of the more “foreign” cuisines.

Potrues Rose Garden, Guang Zhou Shi, China
June 2008

Treasure: This week’s photo challenge asks us to take a picture of something that is a treasure to our hearts. I don’t necessarily have anything tangible that I would call a treasure — most things in life that are valuable and worthy to keep are priceless and intangible anyway! A treasure for me is my health.
