April 8, 2018:  We swung by First Markham Place and tried the HK style egg waffles from Eggette Hut (蛋仔蜜語)!  I knew this place was new when I passed by it in January of this year and at that time the hype hadn’t hit the Instagram feeds yet.

For a Sunday afternoon, they were very busy and it took 10 minutes to wait for our egglette to be ready.

Eggette Hut is an exclusive HK style waffle house with a few drinks on their menu to serve up a la carte or as a Continue reading

April 7, 2018:  I had heard about this Vietnamese restaurant, The Pho Restaurant, both through my mom’s classmates and also via Instagram where foodies boasted that the food was authentic.  I was very curious to try this place.  The first time I tried to come here was on an Easter Monday and they were actually closed and I didn’t know they were closed until we arrived (at which point we also saw a few other cars of people leave in disappointment because they were there for the same Continue reading

April 6, 2018:  After the Green Living Show, Priscilla and I headed to Eat Jackpot for a late dinner.  Upon arriving, I immediately recognized it as the former Lucky Red restaurant.

We arrived at Hanabusa Café at Continue reading

It is located in a strip mall with other local Persian businesses and also a Continue reading
