If you are a follower of my blog, you probably know this group is my old work friends (Logic). Most of them had never been to 魚樂軒 and they had heard a lot of good things about this place, so me, Doris and Cherry decided to take them there and give it a try. This time, we went with a few of our usual dishes along with some different ones. Overall, it is still a great place for Chinese seafood no matter what we ordered, in my opinion, if you are interested to try out this place, bring more friends, lots of friends so you can try more different dishes and you won’t regret it 😀 Anyways, picture time 😀

Fin – izakaya – authenic Japanese Izakaya in Midtown
Fin – izakaya is another really nice Japanese restaurant in Toronto. Karen’s birthday is coming real soon, so we decided to treat her a really nice dinner. Cheryl had been there a few times but it was my first time there, I was already excited when I saw the front door of the restaurant and once we went in, you could actually feel the Japanese spirit is in there 😀 We ordered a lot of food even there were only 5 of us including Marcus but surprisingly we finished them all hehe. But sadly, I was not surprised with the raw fish because I think you could find the same quality in most Japanese restaurants, tho, the surprising part was the cooked food, they all look and taste really good 😀 Anyways, here are some of the photos I took below:

Maxim Restaurant (美心餐廳)
Had dinner with a bunch of people including 3 kids… at Maxim Restaurant (美心餐廳) Richmond Hill. We haven’t seen Thomas for quite a long time, since his wife just had a baby boy, so we decided to have a first look at their new born baby boy along with a nice dinner :p The little guy was soo quiet most of the time which was kind of like a surprise for a 2 months old new born. Also take a look at the food we had, mine was a 10 oz Sirloin Steak, it should have been medium but instead, it was more like well done, so next time if you go there, you should definitely ask for medium rare 😀 Other than that, everything was pretty nice 😀

Doris’s birthday dinner at Tony’s house
Doris’s actual birthday is in a few days but this weekend is a long weekend so we made it early. A lovely gift for Doris from me of course was to make a her my specialty cake, so I went to Tony’s house early so I would have enough time to prepare. Once I got there around 3, the food preparation was already started, seeing Tony and Jin so busy working on our nom nom made me realize we would leave their house with a 110% full stomach :p Of course, it wouldn’t work if only 2 people cooking for soo many people so when Doris arrived, she definitely had to show off her cooking skill 😀 and with their cooking power together, they made soo much good looking/tasty yummy food. Enough with the talk, please check out the pictures I took 😀
