Menya Fuji located at 3 Finch Ave E in North York
March 4, 2018:
I finally got to try Menya Fuji! It’s a ramen house that is located right at the corner of Finch and Yonge, which makes it so easy and convenient for any subway goer to stop by to check it out. I was also influenced by several IGers who posted photos of the ramen from Menya Fuji to come here — social media influence works. :] Continue reading
Trader’s Grill located inside the Explorer Hotel at 4825 49th Ave in Yellowknife
February 25, 2018: On the last day of my travels in Yellowknife, I went on Yelp to research some brunch places to check out. At the last minute, I contacted an acquaintance and asked for her suggestions of places to eat at. She suggested brunch at the Explorer Hotel (Trader’s Grill). I looked it up on Yelp and it seemed intriguing with an all-you-can-eat brunch (“Best Sunday Brunch in the North” on their website) that included crab legs (a Yelp reviewer said that). It was very close by to our hotel (just a 5-minute walk and we had passed by it during the last couple of days when we were walking into town too) and Continue reading
Second time dog sledding!
February 24, 2018: On the third day of our trip in Yellowknife, the first item on the itinerary was dog sledding! This was an optional activity of the tour and cost $75 per person. I was very excited to do it despite already having experienced dog sledding for the first time in Quebec only a weekend ago. 😀 I was excited to experience real dog sledding in the north of Canada! Continue reading
Top Gourmet of China located at 180 Steeles Ave W in Thornhill
March 30, 2018: We had dinner here at Top Gourmet of China and it’s a hidden gem for Chinese food! For only $88, you can receive 11 dishes of which one is a soup and one is dessert! What is a huge steal of a deal. The dinner set includes three major draws too: twin lobsters, Peking duck, and steamed fish. Where do you even find such a deal these days?! I don’t think such a good deal exists Continue reading
My Wonderful Kitchen located at 350 Highway 7 East, Unit #101 in Richmond Hill
March 3 and 30, 2018: I’ve been to My Wonderful Kitchen before it was rebranded and renamed (only the Chinese name is new (米芝蓮); the English name of the restaurant remains the same). My relatives came here for dim sum last month and really enjoyed it, so much so that they came here twice in a row. On that visit, my mom also brought me back some leftovers Continue reading
Roundabout Canada located at 2nd Floor, 330 Yonge St in Toronto
Mar. 29, 2018: The four of us went to check out the Final Destination escape room game at Roundabout Canada! The concept of being trapped in a real airplane for the setting of an escape room game sounded so intriguing and fun!
Roundabout Canada is located in downtown Toronto on Yonge Street near Dundas Square. It’s on the second floor where Continue reading
One of A Kind Show, Toronto. April 2018
These little guys from the Nugs booth at the One of A Kind Show this weekend made me not just smile but laugh in joy and glee! They are each so adorable themselves and donning the cutest smiles (especially the grey ones) Continue reading
The Guksu and Noodle located at 7771 Yonge St in Thornhill
Mar. 24, 2018: This is another restaurant that I knew about through Instagram. It’s called The Guksu and Noodle and serves Korean hot and cold noodles and rice dishes.
We arrived at 7:30 p.m. on a Saturday and it was moderately full of customers. There were a lot more Cantonese guests here than I anticipated. Continue reading
Bay Street Hoops Basketball Tournament held at the University of Toronto Athletic Centre
March 24, 2018: I didn’t even know about Bay Street Hoops Basketball Tournament until Ken forwarded me the e-mail for the volunteer positions. It’s an annual charity event where money is raised to make sports more accessible to children and youth in Toronto. From their Continue reading
Bullocks’ Bistro located at 3534 Weaver Dr in Yellowknife
February 24, 2018: I had heard all about Bullocks’ Bistro in Yellowknife and definitely knew that I wanted to visit if I had the time to. I read about it both in Stephanie’s blog post when she went to Yellowknife and also when my mom read another blog post that said if you go to Yellowknife without visiting Bullocks, it’s like you never even Continue reading
