The Best Alaskan King Crab Legs in the World — Victoria Harbour Restaurant (Hong Kong)

Alaskan King Crab Legs steamed on a bed of Egg Whites

I love my family.  I love my family that lives in Hong Kong.  Every time we visit them, we go out and indulge in some pretty spectacular meals.  I can’t forget the time we visited a seafood restaurant in Hong Kong and the whole meal was centered around the juiciest, biggest, and best tasting Alaskan king crab legs in the world!   Continue reading

My first time playing ESC-IT!

ESC-IT old logo

ESC-IT located at 175 West Beaver Creek, Unit 14 in Richmond Hill (old location)

I had noticed many of the friends on my Facebook list checking into a place called “ESC-IT” in the past couple of months.  When I clicked on the link to the Facebook page, it was categorized as an “entertainment service”.  At first, I thought it was a club, but it was also located uptown in Richmond Hill and I knew that a lot of these friends weren’t into clubbing and especially not in an uptown location so it definitely piqued my interest.   Continue reading

Dumplings Galore at Ding Tai Fung Shanghai Dim Sum

Located at 3255 Highway 7 East, Unit 18B (First Markham Place) in Markham

I went to Ding Tai Fung Shanghai Dim Sum this past weekend for a dumplings and dim sum feast.  For those of you that are wondering, this Ding Tai Fung restaurant does not belong to the world-renown Din Tai Fung restaurant (notice the subtle missing “g” in the first word?).  This restaurant that we chose to dine at resembles the popular restaurant very closely in that it also serves dumplings and xiao long baos, however it is not the ‘real deal’.   Continue reading

Lamb Tongue Sandwiches at Chef Burger!

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

The Best Chicken Shawarma at Rifca’s Mediterranean Kitchen!

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
