Treetop Trekking Garanarska (Port Hope) located at 10585 Cold Spring Camp Rd in Campbellcroft, ON
June 30, 2018: On a sunny and hot day projected to reach upwards of 33°C in Port Hope (40°C in Toronto), we reached this small town located east of Markham to arrive at the Ganaraska Forest Centre for the treetop trekking excursion at the Ganaraska location of the Treetop Trekking facility. I had done treetop trekking in the past and at their Stouffville location in fact! Continue reading
Khao San Road located at 11 Charlotte St in Toronto
June 29, 2018: I had dined at the original location of Khao San Road a few years ago but this was my first time dining here at the new location since they moved. This new location on Charlotte Street was so discreet to me that I probably wouldn’t have known that it housed the popular Thai restaurant Khao San Road if I was just walking by on my own. Continue reading
Kome Shokudo Japanese Comfort Food located at 1383 16th Ave, Unit #2 in Richmond Hill
June 23, 2018: I’m still a sucker for trying new restaurants although I’ve significantly been eating out less these days (yay). When driving on 16th Avenue near Leslie, I noticed that a new restaurant had popped up. Kome Shukudo Japanese Comfort Food replaces the previous Zoup! salad and soup restaurant.
When we walked inside just before 5 p.m., it was definitely quiet since it was too early for dinner and too late for lunch time. Continue reading
Pho Quinn Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine located at 5284 Highway 7 E, Unit 1 in Markham
June 12, 2018: I went to this Vietnamese restaurant that I had never been to before and I was blown away with how delicious the food was! It was unassuming from the storefront and although it included the word “authentic” in its name, it never actually means the truth when it comes to businesses so my expectations were low from the beginning.
Day trip to Prince Edward County for wine tours!
June 10, 2018: Continuing on from my previous blog post, after our visit to Closson Chase Vineyards, we reconvened on the bus and this time we all visited Hillier Creek Estates Winery (46 Stapleton Rd, Hillier) together!
This was our third wine stop of the day.
We were welcomed warmly and ushered towards the second floor of their building where there were chairs set up in a Continue reading
Day trip to Prince Edward County for wine tasting
June 10, 2018: In June, Yelp hosted their very first day trip and I was one of the lucky Elites to be able to attend this outing! The destination was to Prince Edward County and the purpose was for wine tasting and to enjoy everything that this small but quaint island full of sandy beaches and wineries had to offer.
The itinerary was beautifully set out for us for Continue reading
Foodalicious Food Festival located at Downsview Park at 35 Carl Hall Rd in Toronto
June 9, 2018: This was my first time attending Foodalicious Food Festival! (This was their second annual event.) It’s a food event held outdoors of mostly all food trucks with lots of family friendly games and stalls at Downsview Park. It’s the perfect outdoor summer food festival for families Continue reading
Golden Horse Restaurant located at 1480 Major Mackenzie Drive East Unit C7-C8 in Richmond Hill
June 7, 2018: I had been to this restaurant once prior so now that it’s my second visit, it’s definitely time for a blog post! ;D Golden Horse Restaurant (澳門街) has a first location in Markham (blogged about here). This second location at the Leslie Centre at Major Mac and Lesile in Richmond Hill replaces a previous Keung Kee/HK style cafe restaurant Continue reading
CACAO 70 Eatery located at 100 York Blvd in Richmond Hill
June 4, 2018: Betty had a sudden couple of days off so we came together for desserts! 😀 CACAO 70’s location at York Boulevard (where a host of other restaurants reside) in Richmond Hill is a fairly new location. I remember back in the days when this same unit used to house Demetres, another franchise dessert house. CACAO 70 had renovated the place to look super bright and cozy and Continue reading
Habitat for Humanity at 140 Pinery Trail
June 2, 2018: Last year, I participated in my first building site as part of a Habitat for Humanity volunteer experience with the Toronto Trillium Lions Club. I really enjoyed it as I learned new skills and participated in an initiative that has outreaches throughout the entire world.
This year, I was excited to join the Lions again for a second year of building Continue reading
