The Queen and Beaver Public House located at 35 Elm St in Toronto
February 1, 2018: Betty and I had lunch at The Queen and Beaver Public House. We came here for their winterlicious lunch menu. I had picked a number of contenders for our lunch but since this one was closest to her workplace and Betty hadn’t had British food before, this one won the lot.
I called the restaurant to make a reservation for a 1 p.m. lunch the day Continue reading
The Yelpie Awards hosted at the Richmond Hill Centre For the Performing Arts located at 10268 Yonge St in Richmond Hill
January 28, 2018. Although I initially wasn’t fully interested in attending the Yelpie Awards, I was glad that I accepted the invitation and decided to go.
This year’s Yelpie Awards were held at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts (at Yonge and north of Major Mac) at 7 p.m. It was a really straight-to-the point “ceremony” Continue reading
Markham, Ontario. December 2017
I don’t take enough photos of these guys or post about them enough, but they’re definitely beloved.
(There’s one hiding under the bridge as well. XD)
Symposium Cafe Restaurant & Lounge located at 9990 Kennedy Rd in Markham
January 28, 2018: I had the pleasure to be invited by the new management at Symposium Cafe Restaurant & Lounge in Markham (at the intersection of Kennedy Road and Major MacKenzie Drive East) for a meal to try out their newest menu offerings and dishes. I had dined at previous Symposium Cafes at other locations and was looking forward to trying out the dishes at this Markham location.
When Priscilla and I Continue reading
Auberge du Pommier located at 4150 Yonge St in North York
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 located at 502 Spadina Ave, Toronto
January 27, 2018. Volunteering makes my soul smile. Yesterday, I participated in the volunteering session hosted by the Trillium Lions Toronto chapter at The Scott Mission in downtown Toronto. 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
Sichuan Kungfu Fish located at 9021 Leslie Street, Unit 4 in Richmond Hill
January 26, 2018: Last night, we had a wonderful private dinner courtesy of Sichuan Kungfu Fish (麻省理功) to try out their signature dishes. I had previously been to Kungfu Fish previously for lunch and absolutely loved and highly recommended their dishes. It was my definite pleasure to return again for more. 🙂 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
