Labor Day weekend gathering 2014

Happy to spend a gathering day with my friends on Labor day weekend and of course we are soo glad that Cheryl would let us mess up her place 😛  And big thanks to Macy for spending the time preparing our sashimi for the night, it took a LONG time to prepare because I was there 😛  It wasn’t just a typical night with regular food, sashimi was awesome and our hotpot really top the night.  To be honest, it was my first time having hotpot with cheese and I am sure I keep that in mind because it tasted soo good.  And at the end, we had baked KITKAT, heard about it but never had, it was yummy yum yum good 🙂

Usually back in the days, we would have stayed and karaoke after, maybe I am getting old so were the others, we ended the day early but it was definitely a memorable night for us 🙂  Thanks Cheryl, Macy and Shu for making this happen, hope we’ll do it again soon 🙂

Home of Hot-Taste

Chicken chicken and chicken, everything is chicken in this restaurant, can you believe it?  Home of Hot-Taste, located in Thornhill area, Yonge st. and Clark ave.  Although it was my first time trying this restaurant but I already felt in love with it mainly because chicken is my favorite meat and it’s Korean 🙂  To be honest, just by looking at the front door I wouldn’t have thought there was treasure behind it, tho we only ordered 3 dishes but I was so satisfied with everything they’ve got .  Spicy chicken and octopus, deep fried chicken and chicken kidneys, I was like in heaven LOL.  Not to mention, their beer is like $3.5 each, not a bad price 🙂  Anyways, the place is not super size but perfect to have a few friends chat loud and enjoy their food and beer, definitely have to try it out if you haven’t 🙂

#icebucketchallenge

I was nominated by Minnie Yuen to take this ALS ice bucket challenge, I gracefully accepted and donated to ALS.ca

I didn’t nominate any more people because most of my friends had already done it, either if you do or don’t take this challenge, please make a donation to ALS for their research. Thanks!

and Thanks Cheryl Chow for being behind the scene for this video 🙂

Buskerfest 2014

This was probably the very last big event in Toronto during summer time, Buskerfest 2014, a very large section of Yonge st. was closed for this, I was there last year Buskerfest 2013 on Yonge st. and I was hoping to see more interesting things for this year. Compare to other big events in Toronto, this was probably the least interesting event.  As I expected, it very disappointing again, even less performers than last year and more booths for merchandise and food, place was still very packed but the fun factor was low.  Anyhow, it was really ok to spend an hour there to kill time if you have a place to park your car, but I am sure I will not go again next year 😛  Here are some of the pictures I took, P.S. you would probably notice some performers were the same from last year too 😛

HOLY CHUCK

pictures added 21 Nov 2014

I am not a big burgers fan but it was probably the best burger I ever had, HOLY CHUCK, located at highway 7 and Pine Valley.  Compare to other burgers places, they have soo many varieties of burgers and fries you can choose, if you think burgers are all about beef, this place can prove you wrong because they also have bacon and even ducks in their burgers, not to mention their milk shakes are also their specialties as well 🙂  The size of the burgers is big so are the other stuffs and some burgers can cost even up to almost $30.  If you like burgers, you really have to give this place a try, you won’t regret it 🙂

P.S.  I fell in love with their logo, it’s a cow’s head on a plate LOL
