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.
It was the first Sake festival in Toronto, once you bought your ticket to go in which we did from weeks ago, you can try anything as much as you like. There was quite a varieties of food they provided and over 100 different sakes from Japan, not to mention most sakes are not being sold in LCBO, only private sales in cases. It was quite an experience because the event was hosted in a cellar warehouse which I had never seen. I was also kind of surprised by the amount of people inside but anyhow, we started the tasting right away like everyone else from the entrance. Long story short, after an hour of sake tasting, I finally got a better knowledge on sake grades which I never would have a chance to try soo many all at once in the past. At the end of the night, some got a little drunk of course as you can tell from the pictures below but it was a very nice experience.

Yet, another really a good find, a small Hong Kong style restaurant located at unit 31, 280 West Beaver Creek, Richmond Hill (the same plaza as 黃金閣). This is a fusion HK style restaurant which you don’t see very often in Toronto. If you are getting bored of regular Chinese/ Hong Kong style, this is really a must try. Although it was my first time there I already heard tons of good things about it. Food was fantastic, very good presentation and taste, a bit higher price than others but its well worth it 😀 Just take a look at what I had for my lunch 印尼雞扒飯 :p
Well, I am not getting paid to post this but you really should try it 😀

TOMO SUSHI Japanese Restaurant is located in Richmond Hill (Yonge st. and Weldrick rd.) This is a restaurant that is a few blocks away from me, I have tried their take outs a couple times but never really got a chance to dine in it. Luckily I got a perfect chance to go with a few friends so I could get a real good look and taste inside :p We only had 4 people, so we didn’t order a lot but with just a few dishes, I was already amazed. Of course it turned out as what I expected, food was very good and presentation was super. Just take a look at the pictures below and yea, they taste as good as they look. Oh, one thing I need to mention, if you dine in during sun down, the sunlight goes straight into the big windows which makes it a little uncomfortable with the bright light even with the shades :p So go when its dark or before sun down :p 😀

Karen’s birthday is next week, we decided to celebrate it early on this weekend to a fine dinning restaurant. We picked out a few but most of them were full because of St. Patrick’s day but at the end, we got seats at Miller Tavern located at Yonge st. and York Mills rd. Never been there but it’s sure very unique because you only see that 2 storey building in the corner and nothing else around it, so there is no way you would miss it :p
They don’t have a huge variety of food choice, the menu is quite simple as 2 pages and we didn’t need a lot of time to think what we wanted :p Anyways, when the dishes came, I already knew everything would be amazingly good just by the looks and as expected, taste was really good. We ordered 3 different steaks dishes cuz they are all VERY good as told, the black cod was also a surprise too, and you know what? I haven’t had dessert for a LONG time and I decided to order one because we had the confidence to try everything there :p Anyhow, the whole night was fun and all, I would strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone if you are looking for a nice dinner out, one hint tho, the price is not cheap :p

Yet another weekend gathering @ Karen and Simon’s house, me and a few friends were invited over for a nice home made dinner. She is already an amazing cook no doubt, maybe its the generic because her mom is a great cook too :p I got there a little earlier than the others so I was watching the whole progress and she really made all those dishes looked extremely easy. Seriously, with Karen and all other friends with amazing cooking skills, I really should learn from them and hopefully I could be that good someday 😀 Anyways, enough with the talking, lets take a look at all the dishes she did for us all by herself tonight and would probably make you go WOAH.
BTW, that lobster is over 5 lbs, just look at the size of those huge claws, really not easy to work with in my knowledge.
