Forget About It Supper Club — Italian Restaurant

Forget About It Supper Club on 325 King Street West in Toronto

Forget About It Supper Club is a restaurant on King Street West that boasts authentic Italian food.  My friends and I came in here looking for a place to have dinner after our workout at Flirty Girl Fitness.  While this restaurant is probably not one that you would noticed while walking on King Street — as its sign is very small and doesn’t look very inviting — their big poster on the sidewalk did attract my attention immediately:   Continue reading

Second remote CART job :)

Yay, another one in the bag! ^_^ Today was also a 7-hour day like yesterday.  The content was a little different; today’s talked about a photography business and how to succeed in managing your own business.  The vocabulary was a tad simpler than yesterday’s but it was tad faster than yesterday’s broadcast.   Continue reading

Bayview Kitchen is a Hong Kong Style Cafe in Richmond Hill

Bayview Kitchen is a small Chinese restaurant that serves breakfast, afternoon tea, lunch, and dinner sets.  It’s your typical Chinese fare with milk tea or coffee served with club sandwiches, macaroni with ham in noodles, instant noodles, and buttered toast for breakfast.  I say that it’s a small restaurant since they only have 7-10 tables depending on if they split up tables from 4 to 2 if there’s a need for more customers.  It’s a very popular place to eat a fast meal as lots of people came in and out during the short time Continue reading

Measuring my Steno Progress through Songs

It’s no secret that I love practising to videos that I watch on YouTube; I’ve done it for as many as two years now. In particular, part of the reason why I think I was able to pass so many speed tests consecutively when I first started speedbuilding was because I kept practising to certain music videos over and over again. Continue reading

Shanghainese Food at A LA Kitchen in Markham

A LA Kitchen storefront

A LA Kitchen at 21 Fairburn Dr Unit #18 in Markham

About a week ago, I visited a restaurant that is located right behind First Markham Place in Markham.  A LA Kitchen looked like a rather recent opening of a new restaurant and I thought that it served Chinese cuisine.  I hopped in one afternoon and was surprised to see that they actually serve Shanghainese cuisine instead.  They host a big selection of Shanghainese dishes and some dim sum too.

Fish House — Popular For Their Fresh Fish and Seafood [Defunct]

The Fish House at 7501 Woodbine Avenue in Markham

I consider myself very lucky and am very grateful to get the opportunity to always dine out at such delicious establishments.  Today, my friend Betty and I visited The Fish House in Markham for lunch.  It’s situated on the corner of Woodbine and John Street, an intersection that both of us (and probably some of you reading now) are familiar with; having passed by on many occasions.   Continue reading
