Birthday Gear

I totally forgot to post these picture, this was what I wore for my Birthday dinner with friends back in December.... I look a bit tired since I totally forgot to take OOTD pics before heading out and these were taken when we got home (after a few too many drinks) =P

It was a one shoulder asymmetrical dress and I couldn't find a necklace that maches, so I went without... then it just happen that my friends got me this ginormous necklace... so me, love it ♥

Thanks Arnold & Bonnie, it just show how well my friends know me o(^_^)o

Outfit Details:

Dress - Romwe; Belt -H&M; Faux Leather Jacket - ZARA; Clutch - ASOS;

Animal Print Wedges - Nasty Gal

La Gourmand

The last two time I went to La Gourmand, it was too late and they were all sold out :( So this time I decided to head over earlier for lunch cause I must try their to die for cookies that I heard so much about... FINALLY !!!

I fully enjoy everything here, from the sandwich to the coffee.

I`ll need to come back to try all of their baked goodies (^_^)

Roasted Vegetables w/ Spicy Pesto Sandwich

Love the flavor here and love how it's served panini style

Most of their Sandwiches are $7.95/ea, which is quite pricey for such a small size without any side but trust me you won't regret it since it's so good

Phoenix Restaurant (Golden Phoenix 金鳳)

I have been to the 1st location of Phoenix Restaurant (near Markville Mall) since it first open when I use to live closer by... but I notice that the quality have been declining as it rise in popularity (>_<) And this is my 2nd time to this Woodbine location (they have 3 locations, another one on Bayview) just because it's convenient and we were in a rush. I know that there's a lot of good blogger reviews of this place but there's really a lot of better "cha chang tang" (茶餐廳)

Baked Seafood Rice

It was very bland, there was just a very tasteless cream sauce which didn't taste creamy and salt lacking altogether... and way overpriced because there was the extra puff pastry on top (>_<)

Hainanese Chicken Rice 海南雞飯

This was the dish that make them famous at their first location, so I order this to be safe... but what a disappointment. It came with plain steam rice instead of the "Chicken oil" rice that's normally the star of the dish for me.... the rice are normally stronger in flavor and the chicken smooth, moist but more subtle in flavor since it's only cook in stock with minimal to none seasoning.

Iced Lemon Tea

Verdict :

Disappointed once again, I don't see myself going back anytime soon =(

School Girl or Barister?!?

I thought I was going for the School Girl look but Ben though I look like a Starbuck Barister

(^_^)?

Outfit Details:

Shirt - F21; Skirt - ZARA; Booties - UO; Bag - Little Burgandy

Cold Tea

The term Cold Tea refers to the practice of serving beer (alcohol) in teapot after legal serving hours in Chinese Restaurant. It's a term / tradition popularize in Toronto Chinatown.... and since I had my fair share of cold tea back in the days, I really wanted to take a look at this place. Since it opened back in Fall of last year, I haven't had the chance until I had a late dinner reservation here on a Thursday night.

Cold Tea is hidden in the Kensington Mall, down pass the hallway

There's no sign, just a red light ;)

When you peak in, you'll see a Dim Sum station (^_^)

Day 2 was a bit chillier compare to Day 1 here, so I layer a sweater w/ faux fur collar underneath my jacket and added tights.

The hotel that we went to (cheap, $50 a night) didn't have a blow-dryer and we totally forget to bring ours... hence the messy frizzy hair (>_<)

I always have difficulties naming my outfit post, so most of the time it's pretty straight forward and simply... for this post, Ben help and obviously he choose a song that frankly I haven't heard of =P
