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
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 comfort. 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
