It's been a while, but last weekend we went for some afternoon tea! Yum, I love tea. I love its aroma, its taste, and its beautifying antioxidant benefits. While this wouldn't be our first time for cream and scones (we loved it at Niagara and Vegas), it would be our first experience in Toronto and we had it at The King Edward Hotel. The tea is held either in the lobby or … [Read more...]
Yuzu No Hana – Toronto
March 9, 2014 By
So I can't believe it either, but we've had this site for nearly a year now :D. Sorry we haven't been updating in the last little while but we assure you that there's plenty of posts to come! So last weekend we were able to getaway for a bit and enjoyed a night out at Yuzu No Hana. We both share a deep fondness for Yuzu, and it will always be my favourite Japanese restaurant for an … [Read more...]
Catering by Mario & Paninoteca: Richmond Hill
March 4, 2014 By
Mario's Paninoteca is one of those few places that make you feel instantly comfortable the moment you step in. Owned by Chef Mario, it has an inviting Italian decor and a simple, fuss-free concept. Basically just order at the bar, sit wherever you want in the dining room, and they will bring out the food to you. My co-worker Gary raved about this place, in particular the pasta dishes, so … [Read more...]
Jelly Modern Doughnuts: Toronto
February 11, 2014 By
It's Jelly Modern Doughnut time! I had a huge afternoon craving for these goodies, so Joseph and I made a quick pit stop at Jelly Modern Doughnuts. For first-timers, just follow the pink donut (or doughnut) sign and you're there! It's difficult to find parking in front of the store, so either take public transit or park on the side streets. I really adore the interior of the … [Read more...]
Tomo Sushi: Richmond Hill
January 30, 2014 By
We've been really busy finalizing our wedding vendors over the past few weeks. So far we've booked our: venue, caterer, church, photographer, cake, dress, decorator, florist, favours, lighting and DJ *takes a deep breath*. With the big stuff out of the way, we'll eloborate on each company as we get closer to The Big Day in September (but there's still lots more to do)! In between the … [Read more...]
Momofuku Daisho: Toronto
December 27, 2013 By
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE, Joseph and I wish you all the best! We also hope that everyone has enough heat going around, because baby it's COLD outside. And whenever it gets really cold, I get really hungry! So in our efforts to stay warm and fuel our stomachs, we enjoyed a holiday meal with family at Momofuku Daisho... The restaurant is connected to the beautiful Shangri-La hotel … [Read more...]
Hokkaido Ramen Santouka: Toronto
December 22, 2013 By
The entire city of Toronto is covered in ice! After suffering through freezing rain and arctic cold temperatures, what remains is a thick sheet of ice over our cars and precipitation weighing our trees down. We pray that everyone makes it through safely, and may we all have heat and electricity in the days to come (two things we certainly take for granted)! While Father Winter leaves his … [Read more...]
Sweet Note Desserts: Richmond Hill
December 18, 2013 By
The other night Joseph and I were feeling really peckish, so we decided to venture out for some dessert. We can thank our lucky stars that we found Sweet Note, this cozy dessert parlour in the heart of Richmond Hill. However, just a word of caution that the construction and traffic can get pretty heavy around Hwy 7, but once you get here it's all worth it! :D Bright signage … [Read more...]
Mercato: Toronto
November 24, 2013 By
Lunch at Mercato was an afternoon spent catching up with a dear friend, and celebrating life and belated birthdays together. I find that the older I get the fewer wants I have, and the best gift you can give someone is your time and undivided attention. The spirit of the restaurant made it easy for us to divulge in our stories - it was upbeat and cheery and the food was just what we … [Read more...]
Sonoya Japanese Noodle House: Markham
November 12, 2013 By
Hey uptowners, Joseph and I have been checking out this ramen place called Sonoya. It's conveniently located at First Markham Place so you don't have to drive all the way downtown! We liked the Japanese decor and the cozy interior with ample booths and long tables. Pickled radish to stimulate your appetite. On our first visit we ordered King Ramen and … [Read more...]
