Patisserie Kirin ft. Tendou Matcha & Dessert located at 3621 Hwy 7, Unit #105 in Markham
August 14, 2018: I had dined at Tendou before for their matcha-focused desserts and ice cream. Since then, they have closed and reinvented themselves as Patisserie Kirin ft. Tendou Matcha & Dessert to focus more on other pastry desserts and drinks while still continuing to offer their popular matcha ice cream and other previously signature desserts Continue reading

Starting at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 23, 2018, you can try their new summer treats for free! Continue reading
Za Pizza Bistro located at 290 Adelaide St W in Toronto
August 14, 2018: Last week, I was invited to the media preview and tasting of a new pizza bistro opening up in Toronto. Za Pizza Bistro is already an established and popular pizzeria in Manitoba and this new opening signifies one of three new locations they have expanded to in the province of Ontario (Downtown Toronto, Vaughan, and Mississauga Continue reading
Stouffville Country Ribfest located at Memorial Park in Stoufville
August 12, 2018: This was the 6th annual Stouffville Country Ribfest. It took place during the weekend of August 10 to 12 at the Stouffville Memorial Park in Stouffville. I actually won a pair of “free” admission tickets (care of Yelp GTA) to the ribfest but this ribfest is actually admission by donation and kids are free Continue reading
La Carnita located at 106 John St in Toronto
August 11, 2018: Lunch at La Carnita! I’ve always wanted to try this taco restaurant and so here we were on a Saturday for a late lunch. 😀
There are a couple of locations of La Carnita in Toronto. We went to the John Street location near St. Andrew Station in the Entertainment District Continue reading
Pun Cao Tong located at 550 York Regional Rd 7 in Richmond Hill
August 5, 2018: I was in need of some turtle herbal jelly, so I decided to try out this Chinese dessert shop that I’ve noticed in the Times Square plaza at Leslie and Highway 7 in Richmond Hill.
(Its signage and menu says “Sweet Turtle Desserts” but online, they are known as “Pun Cao Tong (本草堂)“. I’m guessing the English name is a newer rendition of their business name Continue reading
VYbE Dance Company located at 431 Alden Rd, Unit #7 in Markham
August 5, 2018: My first time taking an urban choreography dance class! XD I found out through this class that I have zero musicality in urban hip hop dancing XD. What I can describe it is a robot (me) walking into a room full of parrots who can all dance in tune together. Continue reading
Platform Espresso Bar located at 4450 Hwy 7 in Unionville
August 5, 2018: I came back to revisit Platform Espresso Bar after initially visiting last year when they were still in their soft opening. The cafe is as cute as ever and they have updated their menu to include a lot more varieties of food and desserts! Continue reading
Union Chicken located at 100 The PATH, Union-VIA-GO in Toronto
August 4, 2018: Now the title of this blog post might sound a little weird but that’s because the name of this restaurant is called “Union Chicken” and because there are currently two locations in Toronto, I had to specify that this location that I’m blogging about is at Union Station in downtown Toronto. 😀 Continue reading
Edulis Restaurant located at 169 Niagara St in Toronto
August 2, 2018: For our milestone birthdays this year, we decided to celebrate extravagantly with a tasting menu at Edulis. A five-course tasting menu at Edulis Restaurant is currently priced at $65 while a seven-course tasting menu is currently priced at $85.
I’ve had plenty of experience with tasting menus before and absolutely love them. I love that it’s a blind menu meaning that while you know that there will be five or seven courses coming, you don’t know exactly what the dishes Continue reading
