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.
There is Cora, egg smart and I just found Williams!!! Yup, another breakfast chains restaurant I found in Niagara Falls. I guess this chain is aimed for the younger crowd because its looks more like a starbucks that sells breakfast. Never saw one in Toronto area but after being there once, did some research and found that it is a big chain that has been around for quite some time. In comparison, food is way less oily than Cora or egg smart from what I experienced, prices are more reasonable and with a big variety of choices. The down side is, it is extremely hard to find a table since most of the people are the younger crowd and young people loves their free WIFI, if it was starbucks, sitting around having a coffee doesn’t take long but when you are having a meal with WIFI, it would take people forever to leave their chairs… The true is, it is very comfortable to have a nice brunch in this environment, good place to hang out with friends and their tablets/laptops hehe.

Yet another chains restaurant, Fraticelli’s Italian Grill (Leslie st. & 16th Richmond Hill). Read a lot of good review of the place, they also won a diner’s choice 2013, so I decided to try it myself to see how good this place really is. The restaurant is very modern, similar to Moxie’s or some other new chains out there, not too noisy, seemed like a very good place to chat with your love ones kind of place. Food was only alright tho, I ordered my all time favorite, pasta, but it turned out that its was only so so, pasta was under cooked, taste wise was a little on the salty/sour side… A little over priced so over all experience was some what disappointing, this is a restaurant that I would not recommend people to go because I just don’t think it will survive for long when there are soo many good places in the same area. Sorry Fraticelli’s 😛

It was the time of the year when we celebrate friends’ birthday over dinner, O Mei has always been a very solid Chinese restaurant for a perfect dinner. Did I mention seafood is O Mei’s specialty as specially Lobsters, 4 different dishes can be made out of a 6 pound lobsters, but of course, they also have a great varieties of food choices. I don’t think I need to say much about the food because everyone knows that it is one of the best Chinese restaurant in Toronto, tho we didn’t order a lot because we only had a few people but the choices we had was excellent as expected, eg. our super tasty lobster 😛 Oh, almost forgot to mention, they have very good Chinese style dessert too!!! The night was amazing, being with good friends over dinner is always enjoyable and at the end of the night, we left with a full stomach, big smile and joy 🙂
here is another O Mei post from before in case you want to see more 🙂
