Lulu Studio located at 4315 Major Mackenzie Dr E in Markham
August 31, 2018: I haven’t gotten my nails done professionally in a long, long time. The last time must have been a pedicure back when I convocated from university! As I was leaving for a vacation and feeling up for some fresh, lasting nails on the two-week trip, I sought out a friend who recommended Lulu Studio to me.
I checked out Lulu Studio’s work on her Instagram Continue reading

Fav Café + Bar located at 3000 Hwy 7 in Markham
August 27, 2018: Ever since I saw Fav Café pop up at the plaza at the intersection of Highway 7 and Woodbine, I was curious to check it out. At first, I thought this was a second outpost of the original Fav Café (which used to be at West Beaver Creek), but it appears that that original location has closed. Thus, there is only one Fav Café now once more. Continue reading
Surely Up Vegetarian Hotpot located at 420 Hwy 7, Unit #26 in Richmond Hill
August 25, 2018: Ever since I noticed the closure of K & K Cafe that previously occupied this space which the current Surely Up Vegetarian Hotpot (素上簽) took over, I was curious about its food and dining experience (but not before mourning a bit about my previously favourite go-to HK style cafe)… but I digress.
I had heard that Surely Up Vegetarian Hotpot had a conveyor belt Continue reading

The Capitol Theatre located at 20 Queen St in Port Hope
August 18, 2018: After a splendid dinner, we headed two minutes down the street in downtown Port Hope to the Cameco Capitol Arts Centre (Capitol Theatre) to watch a musical!
I have loved watching musicals ever since I watched my first one in 2008 (ten years ago in fact!). Thus, when I found out that Port Hope had its very own theatre and that a Disney classic was going to be on stage, I was extremely excited and looking forward to it. As a huge musical theatre fan, it was Continue reading
