I did the CSR testing today!! This is actually the very first time that I’ve done any sort of live in-person testing! Seeing as I did my steno studies online, I also did all of my steno tests in school in that fashion and so I’ve never done any type of live testing ever. It was a really good experience to be able to do that today. 😀 Continue reading
Gusto 101 located at 101 Portland St in Toronto, Canada
February 8, 2019:
I finally made it to this much talked-about restaurant, Gusto 101, for dinner!! 😀 My love booked it for our early V Day meal this year.
Gusto 101 is an Italian restaurant serving Southern Italian classics located on Portland and King Street. I remember vaguely a long time ago stopping by with some fellow foodies and wanting to dine in but Gusto 101 didn’t have a spot for us as drop-ins. Continue reading
St. Louis Bar & Grill located at 10620 Yonge St #16, Richmond Hill
February 2, 2019:
Lunch at St. Louis Bar and Grill in this Yonge Street and Elgin Mills location! They have a good lunch menu where every day from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., you can choose most of their most popular options for around $10. It’s a good deal!
Rosticceria Cinese Girasole located at Via Dei Serragli N 75R, 50124 in Florence, Italy
September 9, 2018: Chinese takeout.
The place was called Rosticceria Cinese Girasole and was a dark single-roomed unit. They had a couple tables for dining in, but it seemed the norm for takeout orders.
We ordered two tofu soups, steamed vegetables, and cashew Continue reading
Gelateria dei Neri located at Via dei Neri, 9, 50122 Firenze in FIorence, Italy
September 9, 2018: After the salty but tasty Italian sandwiches, I wanted something cold and refreshing. I spotted a huge line-up outside one of many gelato shops on the street where we were walking and decided to have my sweet treat here. This gelato shop was called Gelateria dei Neri.
I got a cone this time instead of Continue reading
La Prosciutteria Firenze located at Via dei Neri, 54r, 50122 Firenze in FIorence, Italy
September 10, 2018: Starving stomachs brought us to La Prosciutteria Firenze where we had two of their feature sandwiches. This place is all about sandwiches, proscuitto, and cold cuts! (I actually didn’t know how to order at first since it wasn’t a regular sit-down restaurant and thus didn’t have any table service. The self-service sign eventually told me their concept Continue reading
La Milkeria located at Borgo degli Albizi, 87, 50122 Firenze in FIorence, Italy
September 9, 2018: We dined at La Milkeria where their crepes were a standout according to some online reviews.
La Milkeria was a small and cute Parisan style café that served gelato and pastries too.
Surprising, although we were still within the touristy parts of the city (walking distance from the Uffizi), they had no English menu and everything was in Italian. Continue reading
La Taquizza Restaurant & Tequila Bar located at 3175 Rutherford Rd #28, Concord
January 26, 2019:
Date night at La Taquizza Restaurant & Tequila Bar! This is a Mexican restaurant and was one of a few that still had available seating on a busy and cold Saturday night. We were welcomed in and given a seat near their kitchen where one of us was able to see through the glass panes and glimpse the kitchen staff assembling tacos and quesadillas and other items. They had a TV on the wall showing the game and there were lots of people dining in. Continue reading
