Located at 261 Queen St W in Toronto
Yay! I finally got to try out Touhenboku Ramen which is the latest and newest ramen shop in Toronto! 😀 I’ve been eyeing this ramen shop ever since it first opened up last November and a friend had posted its arrival on Facebook. I always want to try out the newest and greatest and when it happens, it’s like a highlight of the week! =) Continue reading

Jim Chai Kee Noodle in Richmond Hill
Located at 270 West Beaver Creek Road in Richmond Hill
It’s simply a bowl of noodles with three toppings to choose from. That’s what Jim Chai Kee Noodle is all about. This restaurant started way back in 1994 so it has a lot of history, loyal customers, a solid fan base, and lots of bowls of wonton noodles served over these 20 years! 🙂 Continue reading

Da Fu Seafood Cuisine at 5651 Steeles Ave. E.
This is yet another Chinese restaurant that I’ve previously been to — Da Fu Seafood Cuisine (“da fu” in Chinese means “big fortune”). My family and I ate here recently for dinner during the holidays for my uncle’s birthday. It’s located at Steeles and McCowan Road and really close to Milliken Park (where I planted my first tree last year! :D). Continue reading
