January 27, 2018: Winterlicious at Auberge du Pommier! I’ve always wanted to dine here for a ‘licious meal but never was able to make a reservation until this year when I used the Aeroplan advanced booking system. 😀
Auberge du Pommier is a super fancy French restaurant that has been in North York since 1987. It’s a very intimate and sophisticated restaurant lined with Continue reading

The Scott Mission is a Christian non-denominational charity organization that provides daily hot meals to the homeless and those in need as well as shelters for men and low-income families. They also have a clothing bank available for Continue reading

Tsujiri North York located at 4909 Yonge St in North York
January 21, 2018: After our ramen lunch at Konjiki Ramen, we continued strolling down Yonge Street in North York and came across Tsujiri. This is their second location (the original one is in “Little Tokyo” downtown Toronto — blogged about here).
We stopped inside Tsujiri North York to see what they had for sale. It was quite a Continue reading
Konjiki Ramen located at 5051 Yonge St in North York
January 21, 2018: After the opening weekend “giveaway” at Meet Fresh, we headed straight down the street to Konjiki Ramen (located across from the North York Civic Centre) to see what all the hype was about. Konjiki Ramen comes from Japan and is Michelin-recommended for their best-tasting ramen and unique clam-based soup base.
I already expected a line-up and a line-up we did enter into! We waited in line for a total of exactly one hour from 12:20 to 1:20 p.m. Continue reading
Paint Nite, Toronto. June 2014
I love this week’s theme!
This photo shows the very first time I went to a Paint Nite event. It’s a painting class paired with drinks where we learn from an instructor who briefly teaches us how to complete a specific painting — that we chose from a set. Every person’s painting was different even though we learned from and “copied” from the same source. Each photo is beautiful in its own way!
I remember looking Continue reading

This past weekend (January 19, 20, and 21), Meet Fresh had their opening weekend. In celebration of that, they had a “Free Continue reading
Crazy Don located at 5175 Yonge St in North York
January 20, 2018: We specifically only ordered one item from Go Topoki since they didn’t have many selections of food we wanted to eat for dinner. Thus, we continued walking down Yonge Street and came across Crazy Don and stopped in to fill in the rest of our stomachs.
I liked the interior of Crazy Don. Continue reading

It’s located on Yonge Street 15 minutes south of Finch Station. It’s a relatively new restaurant (opened just in November 2017) and is very modern inside with bright yellow walls and chairs and a Continue reading
