Thornhill location at 8190 Bayview Avenue
Phoenix Restaurant is an HK-style cafe that serves combos of breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner with daily soups or tea/coffee. At this point of my food blogging, I’ve touched on several HK-style cafes that I really don’t have much else to say about this one specifically. Phoenix Restaurant has opened up three locations in Thornhill and Markham and you can easily find it populated with lots of Asians at any time of the day. Continue reading
I said I would put this collection of food pictures up from when I visited China with the Mon Sheong Youth Group for 15 days during July of last year. So here it is! Might as well put it up now, before my next trip, get finally caught up with my travel blog entries and also as a prelude to this year’s Winterlicious 2014 event. 😀 Continue reading

Today was another amazing day in sunny and perfect weather. 😀
Despite planning a full itinerary of things to do, we didn’t quite wake up as early as we had hoped, so breakfast became a brunch. Continue reading

Today, Holly and I travelled to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic! The entire trip to get there was smooth, starting off with her dad who drove us to Pearson International Airport at 2:30 am in the morning. I love how Pearson’s boarding gates now have these really swanky tables and chairs for people to lounge in and outlets to charge their devices. Continue reading
Located at 3255 Highway 7 East, Unit 9 in Markham
Let me start off by saying that I didn’t like this restaurant and you are better off going elsewhere for good Vietnamese, Malaysian, Thai, and Indonesian food. Lemon Tree is one of the ubiquitous restaurants in the First Markham place mall strip. The owners are Chinese and the restaurant is bare and clammy with no decorations. Continue reading
At the Steven and Chris taping!
When my friend contacted me last week about an invitation to be a part of the studio audience at a television talk show called “Steven & Chris“, I was intrigued. I had not seen any of their episodes (Sorry, Steven and Chris, if you’re reading this!), but since I am always up for brand new experiences, I was in. Continue reading
Located at 431 College St. Thanks for the picture, Nhi! =)

Lee is a French-Asian culinary experience! Lee is opened by the famed chef, Sursur Lee, who was a winner on the Top Chef: Masters television show and has since then opened up two restaurants in Toronto alone. Continue reading
My steno machine with me on this journey…
“We have to take turns speaking or else the transcript will look like alphabet soup.”~ One of the most considerate lawyers I’ve ever worked with!
This past week, I had a real doozy of a week as a (still) newbie court reporter. I was originally only scheduled for two jobs this week, so I thought, hey, this is going to be a great week — I can do some work, take on a transcription file on the side, and get in some relaxing time (i.e. food blogging, catching up/stenoing to my much-ignored YouTube subscriptions, and settling into my warm spot at the computer while snow is billowing outside in -20 degree weather). Continue reading
