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
Go Topoki located at 5 Northtown Way, Unit #5 in North York (actually located on Yonge Street)
January 20, 2018: As the title of this blog post suggests, Go Topoki is a restaurant featuring Korean rice cakes (tteokbokki ~ stir-fried rice cakes, usually spicy). 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
Quality Hotel Midtown located at 6445 Decarie Blvd in Montreal
We stayed here from August 4 to 7, 2017. We have stayed in a previous Quality Hotels before and I found them to be very reliable in terms of cleanliness, affordability, safety, has free wi-fi, and comfortable. We got to Quality Hotel Midtown in Montreal by 5 p.m. and checked in. The check-in process was easy. I was impressed with how big the lobby and foyer were! I liked that they had free vehicle parking for guests. Continue reading
Best random lunch on the road!
August 7, 2017: Our last day in Montreal was spent leaving and getting back to Ontario. We woke up and first enjoyed the continental breakfast at the hotel though which was pretty good.
It was the Civic long weekend so many other tourists were getting back home to the west as well. We left the hotel at around Continue reading
Yay finally got to try Au Pied De Cochon!!
August 6, 2017: On this third day of touring around Montreal, we hit up brunch at a famous spot, hiked up Mount Royal, and visited a restaurant that I’ve been dying to eat at! 😀
We woke up early today by 8:30 a.m. and grabbed some food from the breakfast area in the hotel. Our plan was to hit up Restaurant L’Avenue (922 Mont-Royal Ave E, Montreal) because it was a restaurant that was famous for their brunch and you had to get there early to avoid the hour-long line-ups. The friend who recommended me to try it said the line-up for her when she went was nearly two hours long! Continue reading
Markham, Ontario. January 2018
After a snowstorm in the winter, when you go out into the cold outdoors at night, there’s a certain silence that can’t be captured or put into words. It’s different from the silence in a library or the silence in your own room at night. The silence is almost muffled and it’s like the air is dead in a quieted state. There’s really no silence quite like it. Continue reading
A vibrant mural seen near Chinatown in Montreal on the second day of travels
August 5, 2017: We had an amazing full foodie day today! This was what foodie trips are made of. ^_^
We hopped onto the subway from Plamondon station at 10:30 a.m. towards Mont Royal station again. Our first stop was to St-Viateur Bagel & Café Mont-Royal (1127 Mont-Royal Ave E, Montreal) to have some Montreal bagels for breakfast! 😀 Despite having been to Montreal a number of times, I never had a bagel from Montreal before. Ken had had one the year before when Continue reading
First meal in Montreal!
August 4, 2017: I’m tackling my final backlog posts of 2017, my trip to Montreal in summer 2017. 😀 >.<
We started our road trip to Montreal bright and early. I purposely wanted to get a head-start on the drive because we were driving there during the Civic Long Weekend and I would have despised having to wait unnecessarily in stop-and-go-traffic. It already helped that we were leaving on a Friday, but I was still Continue reading
Pie Wood Fired Pizza Joint located at 200 Whitmore Rd, Unit #13 in Woodbridge
January 13, 2018: Yesterday for lunch, we headed to Pie Wood Fired Pizza Joint in Woodbridge for pizza! I was craving for it. 😀
When we arrived at 1 p.m., I was surprised that there weren’t very many guests inside. I was expecting this place to be brimming with people on a Saturday afternoon. I first heard about Pie Wood when we tried to wait Continue reading
