Sporting Life 10K in Toronto 2019
May 12, 2019: I participated in the Sporting Life 10-kilometre run/walk in Toronto again this year! This was my third time participating overall (I participated back in 2014 and last year, 2018). This downhill event features closure of Yonge Street in Toronto with thousands of participants every year. The support of the proceeds goes to Camp Ooch, a camp for kids with cancer.
This year, we didn’t Continue reading

May 10, 2019: After a stroll in Centennial Park to see the cherry blossoms, we searched up a local Vietnamese restaurant for dinner in Mississauga. Pho-Com 99 appeared high on the list of reviews, and we were pleased to have a decent meal here.
The restaurant is located at a plaza with plenty of parking. It Continue reading
Campagnolo located at 832 Dundas St W in Toronto
May 21, 2019: It seems like a number of well-established restaurants are closing this year in Toronto. The next one to bite the dust is Campagnolo, a sophisticated Italian restaurant on Dundas Street West. I remember passing by this corner restaurant numerous times when I was walking down this street. The logo of their restaurant name on the glass windows was something I noticed every time I passed by. Continue reading
Kim Kim Indian Hakka Chinese Restaurant located at 1188 Kennedy Rd in Scarborough
May 5, 2019: After our escape game across the street, we went to Kim Kim Chinese Hakka Restaurant. I honestly love eating Chinese Hakka food since it’s always so savory but just never end up eating at such restaurants often.
Kim Kim Chinese Hakka Restaurant is a no frills kind of eatery. Their Continue reading

The 3 Brewers located at 125 York Blvd, Unit #135 in Richmond Hill
May 4, 2019: I remember first dining at a 3 Brewers in Montreal with friends many years ago and the blonde ale beers and how they had barrels of peanuts at the front of the restaurant that you could scoop for yourself.
This visit at the Richmond Hill location was all right to me. Continue reading
Hero Certified Burgers located at 79A Yonge Street in Toronto
May 1, 2019: It’s been a while since I last ate at a Hero Certified Burgers fast food restaurant. Their burgers are pretty good. They now have a 100% vegetarian burger and a new haddock burger on the menu.
It was a late night at the office and we were coincidentally both still downtown. We dropped into this location of Hero Burger at Yonge Street and King Street for a late night dinner. Continue reading
Shoeless Joe’s located at 21 Colossus Dr in Vaughan
April 30, 2019: Wow, I’m surprised, I have never blogged about a Shoeless Joe’s restaurant before. I actually don’t even remember if I’ve even been to this sports grill/restaurant franchise before. XD.
Yelp had a Community Yelp Event at the Vaughan location of Shoeless Joe’s (Weston Road and Highway 7). Continue reading
Asian Popcorn Chicken with Jasmine Rice and Stir-fried Veggies
April 25, 2019: This was probably the most disappointing Chefs Plate meal I made, and it’s all because of my own mistakes than the recipe itself. Oh, well. You live and you learn.
This dish was the Asian Popcorn Chicken with Jasmine Rice, Lime Aioli, and Stir-fried Veggies. It had a difficulty level of “medium” and a cooking time of 30 minutes. Continue reading
