Delicious Food at Bar Hop!
Bar Hop on 391 King Street West
After another strenuous and sweaty Flirty Girl Fitness workout, Holly, Steph, and I headed to Bar Hop for some delicious sustenance. I hadn’t eaten very much all day long, so I was in the mood for lots of good food! We had eyed this bar for a while now, especially after having seen it with such great reviews on Urbanspoon.

Panagio’s All Day Grill impressed me!
“Tex Mex Messy Burrito” $9.99 –scrambled eggs, bacon, green pepper, cheddar cheese, salsa, verde drizzled on top and served with home fries and fresh fruit on the side.
Located at 1928 McCowan Rd in Toronto
Do not be fooled by the unappetizing look of this breakfast burrito! This “Tex Mex Messy Burrito” is one of the best breakfast burritos I’ve ever had (aside from THIS fast-food one!)! It was perfectly spicy and exploded with egg, cheese, and peameal bacon, and green peppers inside of it. Continue reading
Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup 2013 at Bluffer’s Park
Group photo after cleaning up the Scarborough Bluffs in 2013
This year’s Shoreline Cleanup takes place at Bluffer’s Park which is a beautiful sandy beach and park in Scarborough. Compared to the rest of Scarborough, it is hard to find anything like the Bluffs. Once you are there and hiking among the rocks and trees, it feels like you’re not even in Canada at all. Continue reading
Reds Wine Tavern & Nuit Blanche 2013
The October babies turn 25! Thank you Holly for this beautiful party banner! ^_^
Two of my friends and I share our birthdays in October with only a day in between one another. This has led to our yearly celebration of our aptly named “October 1-3-5 birthday” festivities. This was the first time in two years that all of us were reunited in the same city since Holly was teaching in Korea for the last two years. Continue reading
A First Time Lunch at Sapporo Sushi
There were 2 sushi chefs working when we entered Sapporo Sushi. They were preparing a lot of take-out orders. They have many “Eat Smart!” Awards displayed on their wall.
To be honest, I was a bit disappointed with Sapporo Sushi. I had a lot of hope and expectation for it since I had heard of good things about it (current 90% ratings on Urbanspoon!). Their staff is made up of Japanese people which means that the food is authentic.
The girl that is the only server there — it is a very small restaurant with only 8 Continue reading

Spicy Chicken Wings at Home of Hot Taste
Home of Hot Taste — Korean restaurant specializing in spicy fried chicken
This was my second time visiting “Home of Hot Taste” in Thornhill. I had trouble remembering what the name of this Korean chicken-based eatery was since almost everything in the restaurant is written in Korean. I wanted to eat here again because they have some really delicious authentic Korean food! Continue reading

Awesome Beer Choices at Town Crier Pub & Halfway Beer House
Looking into the second level space at the Town Crier Pub. Look at that selection of beers!
Last night, just before a friend and I sat in at the Princess of Wales Theatre to enjoy the spectacular new production of the Les Miserables, we had dinner at the Town Crier Pub & Halfway Beer House. Online, I read reviews of their incredible collection of beers on tap from around the world. I wanted to try it out and it was perfect since it was just a short less-than-5 minute walk to the Entertainment District in downtown Toronto. Continue reading

Comfort Food at The Grotto Noodle House [Defunct]
Inside the Grotto
Located at 398 Ferrier Street in Markham
I’ve been to the Grotto a number of times before (no, not THAT famous grotto 😉 ), but a noodle house in Markham that is actually designed to look like you’re eating in a grotto complete with walls made out of fake rocks and plants. I visited this place tonight specifically because I wanted to eat their yummy and perfectly spicy satay pork sandwich. Continue reading
