Apple Granny Restaurant

more pictures added 2 March 2014

What a great find, just beyond the Niagara Falls US border (433 Center St. Lewiston, NY 14092), less than 30 mins from Niagara Falls Canada, a little restaurant which has tons of hidden surprises and very in expensive, Apple Granny Restaurant.  I was told that this restaurant has been around for years now, very well known for the people that lives in the area, everything is home made style, great servers that made you feel like home, love the stuffed peppers ($0.75 ea) since I had never seen anything like that anywhere 😛  It is a definite place to eat if you are looking for something close to the US Falls area, but beware, because it gets really packed at night around dinner time 🙂

beerbistro

What a relaxing beautiful restaurant with lots of beer to choose from “beerbistro”, located in downtown Toronto on King St. east.  Didn’t really expect the place would be packed on an early Friday night but it was true.  We got there around 6 and it was packed already and the atmosphere was pretty good with tons of people.  I was told one of their specialty food was actually potato fries which they use the fat from the ducks for deep frying, tho they look like new york fries BUT they really tasted a lot better.  I was also told that they even use beers as part of the ingredients for their food, something different and they tasted well.  Prices are alright, consider its a restaurant in a busy area downtown Toronto.  Not a bad choice especially if you have a group of people to enjoy different kinds of beers and have a great time 🙂

Dinner with Cheryl and friends @ chop Steakhouse bar

As always, we would like to celebrate our friends birthdays early, if you are reading this, don’t forget to send greetings to Cheryl at the end of this week 😛  Cheryl’s pick of the night was chop Steakhouse bar, there are 8 across Canada, luckily the one in Toronto is located just around our airport, 801 Dixon Rd Toronto, Ontario M9W 1J5.  First impression was, the look is very modern from the outside and the inside, people are extremely friendly and price is inexpensive compare to the similar kinds of restaurants.  Our waitress was extremely friendly, quite surprised that she actually remembered all our names and service was excellent.  I picked the crab cake, prime rib and apple pie from their summerlicious menu, everything was pretty good, crab cake was delicious, prime rib was cooked just right and apple pie was excellent.  Unfortunately, I didn’t finish everything because the portion was a little big for me.  Anyways, for a fine dinning restaurant, this one is really good especially if you want to get away from all those franchise in Toronto 🙂

Christmas Lunch @ Mandarin Buffet 2012

I am extremely proud of myself that I had been working in the same company for a year and a half now.  Being at our company lunch at Mandarin Buffet for the second time was just as fun as the first time.  We didn’t have as many people as last year but we got to be sitting at the same table with everyone, lots more chatting and getting to know each other more :-P.  Food was good as always, just like last time, I ate quite a lot especially those mussels with black bean sauce and some Shanghai noodles :-p  Anyways, I know I had thoughts about leaving this job but from what I see right now, this is actually not bad at all, it’s still a dream job that people would die for, at least from what I see at the moment :-P, I guess I will be staying there for a long while hehe.

Denny’s

Have you been to Denny’s?  A restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner all across USA and Canada.  I heard about it for a long time but there isn’t one near my neighborhood so I never got a chance to try and that’s why it was a perfect opportunity to try it out while I am in Niagara Falls 😀  My first impression was WOW, there is a lot to choose from!!!  After ordering Shire Sausage Skillet then I realized this is a place where I could only come once in a while because…  all I saw was oil…  same with my friend’s dish…  I am not saying it didn’t taste good, but it was really a very greasy brunch for me…  Well, anyways, if you have tired this place before, post a comment about what you think of this place 😀
