During my short visit in Boston, Mr.Butter made sure that we stopped by Penang, where his memories projected happy tummy times. It seemed like many agreed with Mr.Butter as the traffic did not die down even on a rainy day.
Looking at other tables around me, I was excited to see the type of dishes Penang serves. Sadly, we were only a party of three with very different palate. So, I had to keep my eyes small (refering to the quote: eyes bigger than the stomach). Continue Reading…
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…
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.
We had 3 tapas that evening. Grilled octopus was one of the 3 tapas we had. Continue Reading…
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…
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!
