Located at 51 Baldwin Street in Toronto
The first time I went to Kinton Ramen was one year ago in the summertime. I remember that it was a Friday night, and despite the claims that you usually have to wait up to 30 minutes for a table, my friend and I were seated within 2 minutes of walking in. Continue reading
Last night I attended the Canadian National Exhibition, CNE for short, with 4 other friends in search for the weirdest and wackiest food creations. CNE is an annual end-of-summer fair that is half carnival and half food fest. Actually, it’s more like an exhibition grounds for your typical carnival rides and games, a petting zoo, arts and crafts shows, various performances, and more. Continue reading
Or at least half moving day. Getting rid of/moving out more than half the furniture in our house. Around 2 weeks to go before absolutely everything is moved out of our house. I’m superrrrrrr excited. Can’t wait until everything is done !

Teppanyaki!
Located at 30 Bristol Rd E, unit #1 in Mississauga
I tried teppanyaki for the first time yesterday! It was kind of unexpected since my friend brought me there for lunch after some errands. I wasn’t complaining since I’ve always wanted to try this type of food. It’s basically a Japanese cuisine where you and your party sit in front of the grill and a chef will flame/grill all of your food right in front of you. It’s a show and a meal! Continue reading
Walking into the first building at Peking University
Second day of trip, or technically the third one as the first and second are considered one day due to the flight.
We visited Peking University today! Chantel, Jesica, and I did our presentation to the students there. I was surprised with how good their English was! Continue reading
It’s 2 a.m. right now and there are two more seminars ‘tomorrow’ morning left on Sunday before the Convention is officially done. So far, I’ve had some drastic changes regarding my steno career path in the last 2 days. Continue reading
Wow, I just discovered that DiSCOVER has a flickr page that has albums upon albums of pictures from all the events that we’ve participated in in the last 6 months! Way to go to whoever has been uploading all of these pictures; it must have taken quite a while! Continue reading
hiiii!
it turns out that wordpress might not work in china after all. boo. i’m also not using to typing using the qwerty keyboard for more than 5 mins since i’ve been accustomed to writing everything on my stenograph in the last 3-4 years. hence all the lower case letters since i’m writing this up quickly before i get approximately 5 ish hours of sleep 😀 Continue reading
The foodie and nerd in me popped its head out during the 13-hour flight to China with the DiSCOVER clan. Instead of watching a blockbuster movie provided during the in-flight service, I opted to watch a documentary instead. I love documentaries :D. This is one was, naturally, all about food. Haha. It’s a really neat production about how humans have evolved to eat cooked food (we’re the only animals to do so) — it’s because we can then digest them faster. The expert said that if food wasn’t cooked, humans would spend 5 hours each day just on chewing! Lol. Continue reading
I remember the very first time I went to a Summerlicious/Winterlicious restaurant when I was still a university student and combing through the menus to find the restaurants that offered prix fixe menus at the lowest end of the price ranges — either $15 for lunch or $25 for dinner. I was on a student budget and didn’t want to spend that much money on food. Plus, a $15 three-course lunch at a supposedly fine dining restaurant can be really worth it if you go to the right ones!
