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

Okonomiyaki is a Japanese savory pancake where the word okonomi means “what you like” or “what you want” and yaki means “grilled” or “cooked” (Thanks Wikipedia!).

Their restaurant is hard to spot, which makes this a gem of a place to visit
The Black Hoof is a foodie’s adventure come true. The shareable dishes, mostly of meat, are very distinctive and uniquely assembled for ideally two people to share. On this promising night, five friends and I gathered to dine at this much-talked about restaurant. I was super excited to say the least. This excitement is hard to describe through words, but having placed this restaurant on my to-eat list for at least three months, I really wanted to rush there in a split second’s time and ravage everything on the menu.

Yay!

Kupfert & Kim located at 100 King St West in the underground PATH
I was researching about gluten-free restaurants and food places the other day and happened to find Kupfert & Kim. They not only serve gluten-free and vegan breakfast, desserts, lunch, and dinner, but they are also eco-friendly. You can bring in your own container for food or drink and receive 30 cents off your purchase. 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
Day 5 of the trip to Nashville marked the final two steno seminars, exploring one last time around the majestic Gaylord Opryland Resort (including taking the river boat cruise!), and flying home to Toronto. Again, I wasn’t able to blog about this day immediately that night, so here are the pictures from Day 5 with commentary. 🙂 Continue reading
