Liberty Noodle @ Urban Eatery


I didn't ate this but Ben actually did and thought what he posted on his fb to be rather cute:

"Liberty Noodle-Tonkotsu Pork. Soup = a little too gingery. Noodle = too effing hard.
Pork = surprisingly good with some fat and good texture. Seaweed & pickled veggie = pft.
Overall = FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

Oh and this was his 4th time there for lunch, the first 3 times they sold out of noodle... How can a noodle place sold out of noodle by lunch time (>__<)

Sunny City


Can you believe that I'm in a tank top in October in Toronto Canada, it almost never happen. This is such an amazing Thanksgiving Long Weekend (^v^)

We spend most of Sat and Sunday outside to catch as must ray as possible and what a great day for pictures. I spend my weekend mostly on patios, eating, drinking and also went to a farm for some more pictures taking (more pic coming)


Fisherman Clubhouse Restaurant


I went to Fisherman Clubhouse twice within a month, once with Ben's parent and went back with friends. The place is pretty ghetto with very tacky decor and waitress shouting all across the restaurant but the seafood is fresh and super good "Wok hay" (鑊氣).
 This place is pack everyday of the week, so make sure to make reservation ahead of time.

We order the same 7 course Lobster Dinner Combo for 3 person at $88.99 both times but with 2 additional dishes the 2nd time (crab & fish). The combo price include a 6Lbs lobster but please note that most of their lobster are 1 to 2Lbs heavier and make sure you put the extra $$ per pound into consideration. And when the menu said 3 person, it surely can feed 4-5 person plenty.

The Combo include one lobster cook 4 ways plus soup, veggies and dessert.
That was our lobster at around 7.5 Lbs


1st Course : Tofu, Clams & Bitter Melon Soup 
This is light, fresh and the soup is not bitter at all, a great start to the meal since the flavor will gradually get stronger as we go.


2nd Course: Steam Lobster 
Light and sweet fresh lobster

Country Girl

Bought this dress almost a year ago but never wore it =P
Finally wore it since this may be the last warm enough weekend to go bare leg I'll be having this year.
I went to Lunch around St Lawrance Market (posted here) and then Toronto Underground Market event at Evergreen Brickwork after (post will be coming up).

This outfit almost felt like a costume to me, like a country girl and I just had to resist myself from pairing it with cowboy boots =P 


High Tea @ Hilton (Markham)


Went to Markham's Hilton for High Tea a few weeks ago with a girlfriend to catch up, we needed a place uptown near home since the highway was close that week so we wanted to avoid the trouble to head downtown. I've heard about their $15pp afternoon tea buffet available on Saturday and Sunday from 3 to 5pm for a while but wasn't sure if it was good. Let's just say nothing was outstanding but for only $15pp, I can't ask for much more.  I have been meaning to try more High Tea places since my post here but since I like to think of it as a girl thing, I haven't have the opportunity to organize an girl day date yet.

There's no fancy list of tea to choose from, only had unlimited refills of coffee and some Starbucks Tazo teabags to choose from.

This wasn't creme brulée at all, it was some sort of raisin pudding that was extremely thick and sweet.


 This was my fave, it was some sort of moose that I loved but they don't really refill their buffet, so when I went back for 2nd, it was all gone.

Wonton Chai Noodle

Wonton Chai Noodle have always been my go to Wonton Place since it's cheap, good quality and convenient at New Kennedy Plaza (Kennedy & Hwy 7) where I go regularly.

The biggest Wonton you'll find in Toronto and each one is fill with shrimps and shrimps only (^_^)
My bowl of Wonton Noodle (thin noodle is the best combination)

Future Bakery @ St Lawrence Market


Decide to go grab a coffee at St Lawrence Market after Lunch in the area 2 Saturday ago and did you know that there's a Municipal Parking nearby that allow yow to park 2 hours at $1/hour whereas all the parking nearby will cost you at least $10. It's something new since I last came back here and here.

As we were trying to kill some time after crabbing our coffee, we decided to walk around but most vendors were closing up since we were a bit late.... then we notice that a lot of people are munching on Butter tarts, so of course I'll have to crab one =P It was from Future Bakery.

I normally hate Butter Tart since it very sugary, almost like biting into sugar... We decided to share one after a huge lunch and also just in case I don't like it (the bf like butter tarts). We got the Pecan Butter Tart and it was the best one I've tasted and it can't get any better for $0.99/ea... it just also happen to go perfectly with mu Latte =D
