After all these years, a Pepper Lunch inspired restaurant has finally made its way to Markham. Within a week of opening, news traveled fast - everyone must be Pepper Lunch fans! So I made my way here with dad and sis on a Thursday night. We waited for almost an hour for a table - it was packed. While waiting, I thought the...

After badminton, we were in the area to try this lanzhou noodle place (兰州拉麵 ) for dinner on Saturday. There was a wait but luckily seated quickly. I was already disappointed by the rude service but the food made up for it.  *Cash Only*Sliced Noodle ~ Braised PorkWow, the pork is super flavorful. Not sure what spices, it's good but at the same time...

Made my way to Khao San Road with sis and friend on a Wednesday night. By 5:45, it was already packed and super loud! Interesting decor - it's not traditional Thai at all; industrial feel with grey walls and wood tables, servers without uniform.Thai Iced TeaNot as sweet as I expected. Thick and creamy condensed milk~ highly addictive and huge portion, couldn't finish.Squash...

Tried The Castor (BBQ sauce) and The Philly (mushrooms in every bite!). Feels less greasy than Priest, but meat still not that juicy (am I just imagining a juicy burger?) Highlight was the Kale Caesar - so. good. at first bite. "I will never eat regular Caesar salad again". but anyway.. I think I need to stay off burgers/cheese/fatty foods for a while....

Second time at Auberge and while the menu wasn't as great as Summerlicious 2012, I still had a wonderful lunch in this cozy relaxing environment. Once again we were seated in the front dining room.. If I ever come again I want to sit inside!I love warm bread. This was delicious with the artichoke spread and we got seconds :)Salt-Baked Potato Soup ~...

Hainanese Chicken RiceLast week I tried a new hk cafe place for lunch. Very small and packed place run by young people with cool English music posters on the walls. Their menu is pretty appealing, more on the pricey side, reminds me of more Westernized items like Firefly/Dickens.海南雞飯 4/5Rice - flavor packed with oily & salty goodnessChicken - average, meaty and tenderSauces -...

 Carpaccio - always one of my favorites, this was thin and good texture Potato Croquettes - deep fried potato and proscuittoThe croquette was nice and hot, soft, fluffy creamy potato inside with a crisp coating. Could not taste proscuitto though. Good with the pesto sauce. C't Mang - white pizza with mozzerella, gorgonzola, fresh pears, walnuts, speck, honeyAs per recommendations on Foursquare, I opted for this...

Sake Bar Kushi is the latest izakaya I visited in Yonge & Eglinton area. kushi means ‘skewers’ in Japanese. Skewers are half price on Tuesday, original price from $2-$4 each.I came here last Tuesday for dinner to celebrate my sister’s birthday. I made reservations ahead of time, requesting a booth. It was really large, love the dark wood and the privacy, but too bad it was...
