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
Meet Fresh located at 5315 Yonge St in North York
January 21, 2018: Meet Fresh is a Taiwanese dessert restaurant that has now expanded to Toronto! I remember hearing about the news sometime last year when Sweven Media was working on bringing them over to Toronto.
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
