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! 😀
This was my first time at the Congee Queen at Highway 7 & McCowan Road. It’s a big location (like most of the Continue reading
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
Azyun Restaurant located at 144 Main St N, Unit #17 in Markham
May 11, 2018: This was the night that my phone suddenly froze and I couldn’t get it to turn on until after the meal when I got home. Luckily, I was able to make it to Azyun Restaurant even though I didn’t have the exact address on me as I was driving there XD. Thus, I took fewer photos than I probably would have if Continue reading
Tracy Dessert located at 3255 Highway 7 East, Unit 29 in Markham
May 2, 2018: I desperately needed a visit to a Chinese dessert shop to get some herbal turtle jelly to soothe my heaty body, so I went to Tracy Dessert (许留山) at First Markham Place for it. (I always thought it was called “Tracy’s Desserts” and not just “Tracy Dessert”. Did they change their name recently?) Continue reading
Dreamers’ Cafe located at 2 Queen St in Port Hope
April 21, 2018: After the Float Your Fanny event, we headed to Dreamers’ Cafe for lunch. When Amanda asked me if there was a restaurant in the Port Hope area that I’d like to try for lunch, I chose the Dreamers’ Cafe. Dreamers’ Cafe is located in downtown Port Hope and is one of the cutest cafes! I had previously stopped by on Continue reading
Float Your Fanny Down the Ganny in Port Hope, Ontario
April 21, 2018: Every year, the town of Port Hope in Ontario hosts a one-of-a-kind commemorative community event called the “Float Your Fanny Down the Ganny”. Float Your Fanny Down the Ganny is a 10km race along the Ganaraska River to commemorate the 1980 flood that crippled Port Hope’s downtown area. It’s a most appropriate and creative name as the majestic river that runs through this small town is called the “Ganny” for Continue reading
