Miller Tavern to celerate Karen’s Bday

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

Dinner @Richtree Market + misc.

A casual Friday dinner with friends @Richtree Market, a restaurant I hadn’t been to for a long while.  The one we went to is located at Bayview and York Mills, it used to be Marché a LONG time ago in case you don’t remember.  I was really expecting the restaurant would be packed but instead, it was only 1/2 filled.  I had a crepe with Italian sausage and veggies which was something I had never tried, nothing would go wrong with mussels in white wine sauce for sure, not to mention they have a Sushi bar there as well.  Food wise is alright, it’s something good to have once in a while really :p  When we were finished, it was still very early so I invited everyone to chill out at my place since Eric had never been to my house before.  Anyways, a few pictures I took during the night, enjoy 😀

Christmas Lunch @ Mandarin Buffet

This was really a big day for our company because it was our first time having Christmas Lunch out side of our office.  Instead of eating in an intense environment (office), Mandarin Buffet on Woodbine ave. was our number one choice, it was close to the office and newly renovated :p  I am so glad we went because they have all kinds of food that fits our colleague’s different culture, most of the food is pretty good and the smile on my colleagues faces which I don’t see very often in the office, priceless.  As most of my friends know, I don’t go to buffets very often, top reason is I don’t eat much but this was actually pretty good, I ate quite a lot especially those mussels with black bean sauce, hehe :p  Anyways, time to take a look at my colleague stuff their faces and some pictures of our Christmas presents lucky draw after we headed back to the office.  Enjoy!

Diana’s Oyster Bar & Grill

Oysters, Oysters and Oysters!!!  Simon Cheng is back for a short visit so we decided to treat him a nice dinner that is not that easily to find in Hong Kong “Diana’s Oyster Bar & Grill“.  When we throw big parties and if we want fresh yummy oysters, we usually get those in “Diana’s Seafood Delight” (the seafood supermarket side) which has been around for years and the restaurant part was open just a few months ago.  To make the long story short, we had a perfect dinner night with tons of yummy food, tons of chatty chat with the old friend and we finally tried the restaurant part of it.  :p  Check it out if you are interested, but trust me, you will not be disappointed 😀  I am sure Simon was super happy about the dinner and hoping he will have a super nice trip back to Hong Kong in 2 days 🙂  Anyways, here is some of the highlight of the night at the restaurant, enjoy!!

P.S.  There was a very rare moment tonight as well, SIMON X 3!!!  hahaha :p  Here is a link to some extra footage of the night on my facebook  http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150423974520211.411859.689775210&type=1&l=37296bf6a8

Moxie’s again :D

Saturdays, a perfect night to eat out with friends, I believe most people like to so the same as well.  But of course, you will never get a chance to try everything in the menu if you only go to that restaurant only once, this time at Moxie’s, I tried pasta 😀  Also a dish that Jason ordered (steak with black pepper sauce on rice) looked like something you can find in small Chinese restaurants, thought its funny and I should mention it :p
