The inside of Grand Buffet at the Niagara Fallsview Casino

Over the weekend, I visited Niagara Fallsview Casino with my mom and we had breakfast/lunch at the Grand Buffet which is located directly inside the casino.  I’ve been to this buffet a handful of times before and I always enjoy their food.  They have a great variety of cold dishes, salads, hot dishes, soups, a carving station, and their dessert station is ENORMOUS!   Continue reading →

Art Toronto: Toronto International Art Fair 2013

Posted on October 26, 2013 by stenoodie

After we had a messy but fulfilling lunch at Uno Mustachio at St. Lawrence Market, my friend Mandy and I attended the Art Toronto Fair. This was my first time attending it and Mandy’s second after having attended it in her high school years. The modern and contemporary fine art fair first started in 2000 and since then has been hosted annually. Many artists from Canada and around the world showcase their artwork for potential buyers and collectors. We weren’t planning on buying any art; it was a good chance to experience some good natured art pieces on a Friday afternoon.

Italian sandwiches from Uno Mustachio at St. Lawrance Market

Today, before venturing off to the Art Toronto Fair, my friend and I scoped out St. Lawrence Market.  It’s a beautiful indoor market on Front Street that many go to for the fresh food stalls and unique local shops and eateries.

We decided to eat from Uno Mustachio located in the lower level of the market since it had one of the longest line-ups during the busy lunch hour.   Continue reading →

Restoran Malaysia located at 815 Major Mackenzie Drive East in Richmond Hill

Wow!  I was so impressed with Restoran Malaysia!  I had been eyeing this restaurant for a while now seeing that it was the restaurant in second place on Urbanspoon in the Richmond Hill neighbourhood.  It just so happened that I was looking at the daily e-mail that Groupon sends me, and the top deal of the day was for Restoran Malaysia.   Continue reading →

A Tremendously Informative Job Shadowing Experience!

Today, I shadowed with another court reporter.  Yay!  Today was also the first time that I rode on the GO Train to Union Station to get downtown.  Woohoo!   The main reason was to ensure that I got downtown nice and early and avoid any potential TTC delays…(my most recent delay was not fun!)   Continue reading →

Golden Horse Restaurant, a Hong Kong Style Cafe

Posted on October 22, 2013 by stenoodie

I’m not sure why there are so many Chinese restaurants that like to start off their restaurant name with “golden”, but it’s kind of amusing when you think that they probably want their business associated with the word “gold”.  Also, it’s interesting that the name of this restaurant in Chinese translates to “Restaurant of Macau”.  Anyway, Golden Horse Restaurant is a casual cha chan tang restaurant that serves breakfast, afternoon tea, lunch, or dinner sets.  Everything that you order is usually accompanied by a tea or coffee, and if it’s a lunch or dinner combo, you also get a soup of the day.   Continue reading →
