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
Empire Espresso located at 668 College St in Toronto
April 19, 2018: After the YamChops cookbook launch event, Grace and I headed down the street to find a local cafe to grab a drink and chitchat. She found Empire Espresso which was a really cute and hipstery cafe that served coffees, drinks, and small bites. Continue reading
YamChops located at 705 College St in Toronto
April 19, 2018: Back in mid-April, I had a pleasure of attending my first vegan cookbook launch event! YamChops is Toronto’s only vegan (plant-based) “butcher” and they were holding a media event for fellow bloggers and foodie friends to visit to sample some bites as well as receive a free copy of the cookbook! YamChops is located in Little Italy on College Street a few streets east of Ossington. Continue reading
Feeling surreal because my transcript load is gone and complete for the first time since April. Not sure what to do with myself now that I have no transcripts on my plate. On the other hand, while I have lots of blog posts on the backlog, I’m half hoping that something work-related comes in so I can Continue reading
It’s so hot in the GTA this week that I finally broke down and turned on the air conditioning unit. I broke my record of four years of not switching the AC unit on since moving into this house in September 2014. 🙂 Continue reading
In the month of June, I’ve had a lot of steno firsts (thus still no time to blog freely). I’ve had someone who was visually impaired bring in a guide dog as part of an examination Continue reading
Shinta Japanese BBQ located at Unit 37-39, 280, West Beaver Creek Rd on Richmond Hill
April 18, 2018: In April, I had the opportunity to dine at a new all-you-can-eat Japanese BBQ restaurant called Shinta Japanese BBQ. I had seen influencers post about this place on Instagram and had seen a so-called line-up to get into their restaurant during their promotional event and I was curious about the restaurant’s food. Continue reading
