Whenever there is food - Food is any substance[1] consumed to provide nutritional support for the body. It is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells in an effort to produce energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth.

DAHN (Korean Cuisine)

To celebrate Cheryl’s up coming birthday next week, we decided to treat her a fine Korean dinning at DAHN (Korean Cuisine), located on Yonge St. just south of 407.  This Korean restaurant is a little different from the other ones because they provide you with tons of private dinning rooms, if you make a reservation with more than 5/6 people, they would let you dine in a room with your own privacy.  Food is also very good but in my opinion, I like Bulgogi Brothers a little better but still, it is way way better than a lot of the Koreans restaurants out there already 😀  Unfortunately, there is one thing that we were not 100% satisfied, everything we ordered took a long time, even beverages…  Other than that, everything is good so if you are looking for dinning place with a little privacy, this is actually a very good place to have a dinner party 😀

Peter and Kelly’s Wedding day

The big day, Peter and Kelly’s wedding and it was really an honor to be the groomsmen for this big event.  The whole day was perfect, sun was shining and everything was right on our schedule.  The best man Sunny and I gathered up at Peter’s house, picked up the bride and bridesmaids, then headed to Edwards garden for our photo shoot.  Tho the weather was super nice but the heat from the sun was killing us especially we had our suits on :p  After 2 hours of photo shooting, we headed back to Peters house for some Chinese tradition marriage ceremony stuffs then a 2 hour break.  God, I was exhausted and needed that badly although I didn’t do much :p  After all the hard stuffs in the morning, everything was very simple, the wedding ceremony and dinner was in Markham event center, so we only had to stay in one place, made everything a lot easier.  Overall, an unforgettable fun night, great MC, music and food, thanks to all the helpers to make this event so fantastic and of course, congratulation to Peter and Kelly of their next chapter in life 😀

Here is a few highlights of the day below and the last 3 food pictures were taken from my smart phone, enjoy!

P.S.  I wasn’t holding the camera 100% of the time because I was being photographed too BTW :p

Canada Day long weekend BBQ 2012

We were so graceful that we had a super nice weather over the whole long weekend, perfect for the event that we had been waiting for, Canada Day long weekend BBQ tradition at Cheryl’s house.  Tons of people, tons of food and of course, TONS of fun 😀  Something was totally different this year because in previous years, we had Cheryl, her mom and some other people preparing food but this time, only our master chef Macy prepared the amazing good food.  Of course the outcome of the night was a success as expected, thanks Cheryl, Auntie, Uncle and Macy putting the party together for us 😀

As always, go to my facebook gallery to check out more pictures of the event here http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151070615160211.485245.689775210&type=1&l=40d90a17b5

Bulgogi Brothers

Bulgogi Brothers is newly opened Korea based franchise restaurant up in Richmond Hill. Located at 140 York Blvd where all the restaurants are gathered.  Bulgogi Brothers has around 30 locations in Korea and recently began expanding abroad, opening its first international location in the Philippines last year.

It was my first time having beef after I started exercising for weeks and it tasted soo good…  compare to the other Korean BBQ resturants in Toronto, I would have to say this one is probably by far the best.  Just like when you get bread and olive oil to start at other restaurants, Bulgogi Brothers started off the meal with a basket filled with traditional Korean snacks. The basket was filled with steamed corn on the cob, fingering potatoes and edamame.  Not to mention the beef combination we ordered, served by a nice Korean waitress, soo yum yum good…

Super thumbs up for Bulgogi Brothers with amazing service and food, guess other Korean restaurants will have to work a lot harder from now on, and I guess Chako (in the same plaza) is already out of my restaurants list :p

Sashimi Dinner!!!

Last time Macy made a fantastic meal for us in Cheryl’s house, you can read my post here “Macy, the Super Cook!!!” and this time while my parents are away, she brought 2 HUGE fish to my house and made a sashimi dinner, just look at the size of that thing below :p.  They were super fresh and yummy as expected, just didn’t expect Macy would know how to cut them right in front of our eyes.  We were very surprised that the price was quite reasonable, with a trout, salmon and a box of uni for $110, I was like dreaming, lol.  The whole procedure of the cutting part was very interesting and took some time, I really have to thank Macy for spending the time and made us a super nice dinner, the food was amazing, not only the sashimi but the beef and udon as well 😀
