Bymark located at 66 Wellington St W in Toronto
For my birthday lunch, Ken took me to Bymark for a lunch getaway. I’ve been to Bymark previously before (for Summerlicious 2013 where Daphne and I had a memorable dinner experience — you can read about it on that blog post here).
This was my first time returning back for a meal. We received a selection of bread from a bread basket that the server was handling out and served Continue reading
The Owl of Minvera located at 4733 Steeles Ave E #2 in Scarborough
October 14, 2017: Last night, Daphne and I had a dinner after her church service. We went to The Owl of Minerva at Steeles and Silver Star in Scarborough. This was the third Owl Korean restaurant I’ve been to!
It was very bright, clean, and spacious inside this branch. If I’m not mistaken, this unit used to be a Japanese restaurant very early in the 2000s (don’t I sound old hahaha Continue reading
One Hour Cafeteria located at 435 Spadina Ave, Toronto
October 13, 2017: I’m so glad that I got to return back to this Taiwanese cafe after so many years! The first time I stepped into One Hour Cafeteria was back in university with some friends. I loved this spot because it was so cozy; there were giant bean bag chairs and low tables. It was literally like a place for you to lounge, use wifi, and eat and drink. I remembered they also had amazing fried chicken Continue reading
Mr Roc’s Crawfish located at 416 Spadina Ave in Toronto
October 13, 2017: Last night, we went for dinner at Mr. Roc’s Crawfish (龙虾君洛克) to try out their food after reading the BlogTO article about them. As always, BlogTO tends to hype up the restaurants they feature with a very appealing heading but it’s up to the reader and customer to read into whether the hype is real or not. This restaurant opened up around August this Continue reading

October 7, 2017: Dinner at Joey Eaton Centre.

This time, I returned for a Continue reading
Yuantong Hotel located in Changsha, China
We stayed here for one night on Sept 13, 2017 for our first night in Changsha, China. We got to the hotel at 9 p.m. and checked in. We were in room 1301.
We got one room key which electronically unlocked the door and displayed a blue smiley face. It was so cute!
Inside the room, we had two double beds. The room was huge and so Continue reading
Pret a Manger located at Arrivals Hall A, Arrivals Level (L5) at Hong Kong International Airport
September 28, 2017:
Sandi had asked me about Pret a Manger in preparation for her trip to Asia next year. There was a Pret a Manger in the Hong Kong airport that she wanted to visit because she wanted to try the Peking Duck Wrap again.
I’d never been to this popular Continue reading
Window of the World, China. August 2009
I was going to post a more typical photo of something that relates to “scale” this week but this photo caught my eye as I was browsing all my thousands of photos. This photo shows scale too! Look at how cute and small that little boy is compared to the plastic fake rhino and its baby. Also spot the pink shopping bag to the left and its size. 😀 Continue reading
Hung Fook Tong located at many various locations all around Hong Kong
September 27, 2017:
After almost three weeks of enjoying their healthy drinks, here is a brief blog post about it. Hung Fook Tong is a company that specializes in selling healthy drinks and herbal jelly. Apparently, they are the biggest retailer and distributor in Hong Kong of such items. They are located in stores such as shopping malls as well as many MTR stations which makes it so easy to pick up a drink when commuting and shuttling from MTR station to MTR Continue reading

September 27, 2017:
For dim sum today with relatives, we went to Chiuchow Garden (潮庭) in Sha Tin New Town Plaza. I’ve been there for dinner for sure but uncertain whether I had been here for dim sum and whether it had been blogged before. Thus, here is a brief recap through mostly photos of what we Continue reading
