Vietnamese Noodle House located at 4609 50 Ave in Yellowknife, NT
February 22, 2018: For our very first meal in Yellowknife, we ventured towards Vietnamese Noodle House. We had deplaned, checked into the hotel, and after dropping off our luggage in the room, were ready for food. A quick search on Google Maps pointed out this restaurant which was about an 8 minute walk from our hotel. Who wouldn’t be down for some comfort food like some hot pho in a new Continue reading
Ritzy Palace Chinese Cuisine located at 7301 Woodbine Ave in Markham
February 17, 2018: Little did I know that Ritzy Palace Chinese Cuisine is actually a sister restaurant of Grandeur Palace! Ritzy Palace Chinese Cuisine opened up sometime last year at Woodbine and Denison where a previous Chinese restaurant, Spring Villa Chinese Cuisine, used to be. Continue reading

Blogging!! I still have a lot of backlog blog posts I want to clear out from my list and yet sometimes when I get a chance to catch up, I end up resting and letting it pile up again. I can’t wait to blog and clear out my entries. 😀
Ending the third day of the trip in Kingston, Ontario
February 14, 2018: On this final day of the tour across Ontario and Quebec, we began the day finally with some continental breakfast courtesy of the hotel! The first two days didn’t include breakfast. I like Comfort Inn’s continental breakfasts since they provide the essentials and their essentials are decent too. Continue reading
First time visiting an ice hotel!
February 13, 2018: The second day of the tour involved a lot of stops! First, after a little bit of breakfast in our own hotel room, we set off to Saint Joseph’s Oratory (3800 Queen Mary Rd, Montreal, QC) in Mont Royal in Montreal, Quebec. This “is Canada’s largest church and claims to have one of the largest domes in the world.” Continue reading
Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. February 2018
This week, ask me why I am standing in the middle of nowhere (a frozen lake) in the snow all bundled up with a misty cloudy sky at night. Ask me why I was there and what led me there. Ask me what time of the day this was and why I was still awake when many others were tucked in safely in a warm place at home. Continue reading
In the airspace between Calgary and Toronto. February 2018
As I took the plane back home from Calgary and Yellowknife this weekend, I saw this view on my red eye flight. The airplane (rocket) could be something that takes us literally out of this world while those grooved clouds remind me of the Continue reading
Observing Ottawa River and surrounding views at sunset on Day 1
February 12, 2018: Day 1 of a three-day tour across Ontario to Quebec! It started with an early meeting point at Pacific Mall at 7:30 a.m. (The tour bus also stopped in Mississauga and First Markham Place and downtown Toronto prior to this stop.)
Our tour guide for the Safeway Tours three-day trip was Daphne Wong who was very experienced and had led tours since she was a university student. I had been on Continue reading
Comfort Inn & Suites located at 1394 Route des Rivières in Saint-Nicolas, Quebec
February 13, 2018: We stayed at the Comfort Inn & Suites in Saint-Nicolas, Quebec. This was close to a few restaurants and a supermarket too but as it was near the highway, it was still a bit in the middle of nowhere.
The hotel was a bit small as most Comfort Inns are. The lobby was nice with a metal soldier as a display. Continue reading
Copas located at 595 Grande Allée E in Quebec City
February 13, 2018: For dinner, we were dropped off at the Grande Allée E area street while the other tourmates went to eat at the neighbouring French restaurant. We only had less than an hour and a half for dinner before getting back on the bus to go to the hotel. There was actually a number of restaurants to choose from on the street. Continue reading
