I was able to go try this amazing set a week ago at . I love raw fish and sushi so when I saw people post about this set I just had to go try it.
This was so worth the price they had it on promo for I went at around 3pm on a Thursday. The fish was super fresh.

Been hearing about this place and drove past and saw no line I decided to try it. All I can say is it’s not the best pho I have had. I found the soup too light and oily. I got the everything pho and it had a good ratio of meat and noodles. Also ordered the combo as I wanted to try a snack and I chose the wonton which was super crunchy . I think I prefer pho an vu which is just down the street in the McDonald’s plaza on highway 7. This pho place is
My rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just a haul of what foods I get when I cross the border to go to Buffalo!!! These are from trader Joes and .
Trader Joes must for me:
-chili onion oil
- everything seasoning
- cold brew tea
- white truffle chips

Target musts:
- pork rinds
- hot cocoa powder
- nerds clusters (so addicting)
- Caramello (think of it as Caramilk but in single pieces so less messy to eat)

So I was feeling hungry after work and this was next to my pharmacy so I decided to check out the afternoon specials at this restaurant again. People usually I say come here for the pork bone soup but I came for the macaroni soup with satay beef and a drink didn’t take a picture which was grass jelly with red beans and Milk ( a classic Asian drink). If you do not know where this is then drumroll…… it’s Keung’s delight at steeles and warden the t&t plaza

Heard the McRib was back at a few McDonald’s so I had to go try it again. It’s still just as good as I remember the pork patty, the bbq sauce, onion and pickle. Swipe to see the sandwich it’s approximately $6.50. I got this at the Yonge store and 16th ave McDonald’s up in Richmond hill! Would you try this?

Really starting to get to post on yelp and was able to score a event from for . I got to eat their lobster roll which was super meaty and fresh and a drink the mango go go. Thank you yelp for this opportunity and I got to redeem it on my bday which made it extra special.

I was feeling a little hungry and remember seeing a sign driving down highway 7 one day that the snack boxes at are $5.
You get fries, onion rings and then choice of protein I picked chicken fries paired with their Zesty Sauce of course.
Great price I think these days for a quick grab of fast food!

When I go to chipotle I get the kids meal since theirs like so much food that comes with it! It’s a build your own 2 tacos with 3 toppings, chips and a drink for a great value! I picked hard tacos with the new limited time carne asada with corn and tomato salsa!! Don’t forget to ask for their dressing it’s super yummy. After I build my tacos and finish them I dump my chips into the box and scoop remaining toppings and make a nachos!!! Definitely the best meal and yes I had this on national taco day! I like the aqua fresca to drink instead of the pop!

Take me back to Schwartz already! This is their smoked meat sandwich and paired it with a sprite and it did not disappoint. This sandwich had the perfect balance of lean to fat. There was a line when we got their but it moved quite fast!

Took my rents to for lunch just a tad disappointed they didn’t have their volcano ribs at lunch today . The khao soi was super flavourful and the 🍍 rice was good too but better with the sauce from khao soi. The morning glory veggies were ok but the dessert mango sticky rice was good. The mangos were super ripe!

Made it to before the anniversary deal ended. So perfect for a colder spring day. I picked the beef original which has beef brisket, seasoned egg, wood ear mushroom, scallions and bamboo shoots. I also chose thick noodle over thin!

I know this is a tad late but I had to try the limited edition Mother’s Day cake from . This is the pic of THE TWEETEST MOM cake it was good but the fruit layer inside to me seem frozen or it just way colder then rest of cake.

Hk style bagged noodles definitely reminds me of a taste of home! They have a variety of toppings (tamago, tripe, corn, fishball, imitation crab) to choose from. It’s also decently price I think this here is the small size they have a bigger one too :).

16/03/2023

Iced honey comb latte not bad at all I think however the drink had to be sweeter for my liking but great place to be at

05/03/2023

This definitely is still one of my fav hk foods it’s a deep fried wonton skin paired with a tomato sauce filled with seafood and veggies! I went during the afternoon special and got a red bean and grass jelly drink with it for free. Who knows this dish cause I think it’s becoming rare in Toronto.

Decided to check out Oriental Gourmet at Victoria Park and McNicolle located in the senior home is a restaurant. They had a special today which was crab with noodles. This costed $25.80 plus tax. The crab was fresh however the sauce with the noodles was a tad salty.

22/01/2023

I have heard about Mochi donuts and finally got the excuse to go try cause it was someone’s bday and they didn’t want cake so we decided on this.
📍
-churro
-crème brûlée
-ube flan
-Golden Sun
-year of the rabbit
-soybean
I like how their not to sweet and the chewy texture is perfect in my mind :). This half dozen was $24.50.

First Family dinner night out in 2023. A classic Chinese style dinner to start at .fishman where you can choose your dishes to pair with one seafood for great value.
Here’s what we got:
- Hand shredded chicken
- Twin lobster with maggi sauce (we ordered ginger and onion but they made a mistake)
- Green beans with eggplant
- Sweet and sour pork
- Tofu with seafood sauce
Also forgot to take a pic of the daily soup and comes with bowls of white rice.

All in all a decent place for a simple Chinese meal.
