Juxtaposition: Old meets new — an imperial guardian lion coolly looks on as the famed Marina Bay Sands stands tall and unyielding in the clouds. Similarly, the lush greenery representing Continue reading
Sandwich Box located at 67 Richmond St W in Toronto
Sandwich Box is a simple eatery located on Richmond Street. Located in the Financial District, busy suits are always searching for healthy yet delicious fast joints for a bite to eat before scurrying back to the office for more sit-down work. (Haha, I am totally assuming that all suits sit in a cubicle all day, but that might not be the case at all!). Continue reading
Papa Chang’s Asian Fusion
Betty and I had our eyes on this restaurant and I’m really glad that we tried this place out! This hole in the wall serves Asian fusion and authentic Taiwanese food which is hard to find in the GTA in my opinion (the authentic food, not the restaurant 😉 ). Papa Chang’s grew to fame during last summer’s annual Night Market where food stands galore take up entire parking lots for foodies to join together under the summer sky to eat various munchies for a couple of dollars per order.

Greek cuisine at Loui’s Kouzina
Loui’s Kouzina is a highly rated Greek restaurant located at Woodbine and 16th Ave. in Markham. I was very excited to see what it would be all about and dined here with my mom after the first Zumba session of the year (yay!). Continue reading
Passion Fruit drink. $4~
This is going to be a super brief food blog entry.
Green Grotto Tea Room is located near Steeles and Warden in Markham (also where a T&T Supermarket resides). It’s a casual space for youngsters to gather and chat over drinks. I love how they serve a bowl of free popcorn that you can snack on with your drink. They serve a wide selection of hot drinks and cold drinks (including bubble tea), snacks, and dessert.

Skiing at Blue!
The very first time I squeezed my little feet into snug ski boots and attempted to glide my way down a barely-there hill on a pair of skis, I was in grade five. I chose to spend several weeks in the Outdoor Education elective course rather than stay indoors to learn how to make bead necklaces or the other activities that were offered since I’d never been snowshoeing or skiing before. Continue reading

Family: Travelling together no matter what and no matter where. =)
Located at 8360 Kennedy Rd, Unit 87-90
I found myself at another izakaya after visiting Nomé Izakaya recently. This time, I was in the mood for some sushi and ramen since I didn’t get the chance to have any last weekend. It was perfect since there was a newly opened izakaya in Markham! 😀
Raku Ramen & Izakaya is located at the popular Peachtree Centre in Markham near Highway 7 and Kennedy Road. Continue reading
Nomé Izakaya located at 4848 Yonge St in North York
My friend Gen celebrated her birthday at Nomé Izakaya this past weekend. We were a big group of close to 30 people and Nomé was able to accommodate us very well by reserving three long tables for us near the entrance of the restaurant.
I haven’t heard much about Nomé in the past, so I was very excited to try this izakaya out. Continue reading
