The Keg Steakhouse: Consistency is all it needs

This year marks the fifth year since I first tried Keg. Keg’s reputation did not die down at all from what I can see. Reservation after 6pm during weekends was not allowed. And it seems like wisdom really does not come with ages; I decided to arrive at 7:00pm, right on time for supper. I waited a good hour before I had a table. Well, that is part of Keg’s experience!

All I was thinking was “this better worth my wait!” And quickly, this was answered by the attentive service and the exquisite steaks…

It felt adequate to eat some greens just before we moved onto the meat feast. Continue Reading…

Le Sociale – Illuminating the Square at Dix30

Shopping around Dix30, I cannot help but notice this restaurant at the heart of the Square. With its thousand warm tone lights pertrubing beaming through the windows, Le Sociale easily attracts a lovely and dynamic crowd.

It was a perfect place to have a long conversation with a friend, which is exactly what happened during my visit.

The menu offers a well-balanced number of dishes. Tapas were the most predominant, which suited the occasion  beautifully.

Lemon Tree: Southeastern curry

Lemon Tree: Southeastern curry

In a hurry and without research, I chose the most appealing restaurant. That was quite an easy task. With the abundance of restaurants in Markham,  it is nearly impossible to not find one that pick my interest.

Lemon Tree, specializing in fusion Southeast Asian cuisine, was the lucky winner!

The list of dishes available on the menu is extensive, but my eyes were on one only. CURRY with PAROTTA. Continue Reading…

The Lincoln Apartment Bakery: It’s time to perfect macaron!

The Lincoln Apartment Bakery: It’s time to perfect macaron!

Jessica from The Lincoln Apartment generously offered to transfer her macaron secrets! How can I refuse that? If I say no to macaron, I wouldn’t be me anymore. So I happily went to the Jessica’s workshop with my partner in crime, also known as the partner-with-whom-I-tried-to-bake-macaron-but-failed-miserably. It is time to conquer macaron!

We mix mix mix! – correction – we fold fold fold!

 

First thing I noticed during the baking class was how dynamic and fun Jessica is! She was more than happy to answer our questions. She was very flexible and was open to share her knowledge. I didn’t feel intimidated, and was actually very comfortable.

The chosen ones to go home with me – but only to be devoured a few meters away from the workshop! mmmmmmmmm~ too irresistible

 

My friend and I had so much fun. Not only is this activity good to bond with your friends, I actually think it’s a great idea for birthday parties, or even bachelorette parties! With the newly learned recipe, you can bake goods and give them as gifts! Killing two birds with one stone.

For those interested, check out The Lincoln Apartment Bakery website. I’m sure you will enjoy as much as I did!

Juliette et Chocolat is no stranger to me. I have always enjoyed their ivoire brownie, which is my favorite! The grand opening allowed me to taste other delicacies. By the end of the night, I was overdosed, which is exactly the statement Juliette et Chocolat is aiming for.

The richness of chocolate could be tasted in every bite. It is easy to understand why we love Juliette et chocolate so dearly.
