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
Congee Queen located at 5308 Hwy 7 Unit #5 in Markham
May 31, 2018: I was craving for pork hocks and wonton noodles and so Congee Queen (皇后名粥) was the perfect place for it. It turns out that they served an amazing one! 😀

Jack Astor’s Bar & Grill located at 1060 Don Mills Rd in North York
May 26, 2018: Just before heading to see the Aga Khan Museum for Doors Open this year, we went to Shops at Don Mills in search for a lunch spot. We ate at Jack Astor’s and sat on the patio. It was such a nice cloudy day so sitting out on the patio was actually really nice without too much direct sunlight. It was the first patio meal of the year! 😀 Continue reading
Cafe Bon Bon located at 550 Hwy 7, Unit #90 in Richmond Hill
May 19, 2018: As the trend of Japanese fluffy pancakes hits the Toronto area this year, I saw that Cafe Bon Bon was another restaurant that served the fluffy soufflé pancakes and so I wanted to try them out for myself too. (The only other cafe that I’ve had these fluffy pancakes from thus far Continue reading
Dreamt that R wrote a blog post and it had a weekly photo challenge again! I clicked into it to see because I thought I had missed something but apparently it was just another blogger starting up the challenge and he participated in it. It wasn’t the official one. Continue reading
Lisa Marie located at 638 Queen St W in Toronto
May 13, 2018: It’s not often that I find myself to brunch downtown since it’s not the most convenient to get to on a weekend morning, but having brunch at Lisa Marie after just finished the Sporting Life 10 K run was just a no-brainer. Even as we passed by other restaurants in the city, we noticed other participants who were wearing the neon green T-shirt signifying that Continue reading
My second time participating in the Sporting Life 10K run
May 13, 2018: I registered and completed the Sporting Life 10K run for the second time!
The first time I did it was in 2014, four years ago! That was when I was more physically fit as I remember attending Zumba sessions more regularly and even using the treadmill more often. Although I didn’t train specifically for that one, I did even less training for this year’s! Unfortunately in the weeks leading up to this run Continue reading
