Town of Richmond Hill – 2012 Fire Prevention Week Open House

Town of Richmond Hill – 2012 Fire Prevention Week Open House.  This neat event was for the residents of Richmond Hill to come out for a fun-filled day of great food, fun games and educational activities, including auto extrication demonstrations, the Fire Safety House and a fire truck simulator, well mainly for kids really :p  I had never been inside a fire station before so I figured why not go with little Marcus and his family :-p  It must have been fun for the kids because everything was made for kids :-p  It wasn’t like what I expected, whatever I saw on TV inside a fire station, like fire fighters with 6 packs, awesome 3 storey dorms with sliding poles and exciting rescue demonstration etc…  non of that was there…  instead, we saw fire fighters with big bellies, boring interior and super slow rescue demonstration…  A little disappointing really 🙁  Or I must have watched too much TV…  Anyways, I did take some really awesome pictures to share with you all tho which is good 😀

Ferrovia ristorante

Ferrovia ristorante, once was voted the best Italian restaurant in Thornhill, so if you want to try this restaurant, you better call ahead if time because last time we wanted to try it without making a reservation, of course there was a long long wait so we left.  My first impression was quite good, didn’t expect the restaurant size is very small compare to others but very unique.  Food was quite good, not too expensive with this kind of quality, presentation was amazing as you can see from the pictures below, no wondered it was vote one of the best.  One little small glitch that I didn’t like was the uncomfortable chair/bench I was sitting, maybe it was just me :-p  Anyways, great restaurant and I would definitely recommend this to friends 😀

Malaysia & Asian Cuisine (膳園)

My friends wanted to treat me and Ruby an early birthday dinner and decided to try out Malaysia & Asian Cuisine (膳園), the most Authentic Malaysian, Singaporean and Indonesian Cuisine of all the restaurants in Scarborough (Toronto and GTA).  We rarely try Malaysian food so we were very excited about the experience.  Once we got there, I was actually quite surprised about the size of the place and it was totally  packed, but sadly, too many cars and not enough parking spaces…  Anyhow, once we got inside, a mouth watering strong scent of herbs surrounded us and that made me like the restaurant even more already :-p  The varieties on the menu was amazing, it was supposed to be very hard to decide what to get but instead, it was pretty easy pick our choices because we just ordered everything we wanted, hehe.  At the end, we were very satisfied with everything, no wondered they were around for 17 years as I was told 🙂  Anyways, this is a place where I would recommend people to try out and you will not be disappointed, trust me 😀

BTW, big thanks to Karen, Simon, little Marcus and Jason for the amazing dinner, you guys are the best ;-D

Richmond Hill Ribfest 2012

About a year ago, I went to the Markham ribfest, unfortunately I missed the one this year which was 2 weeks ago and I would be very disappointed if I missed the Richmond Hill ribfest at Richmond Green Park.  Though the size of this is smaller than the one in Markham but with 6 professional rib teams would be enough to fill our stomachs, after all, we could only try maybe a couple at a time :p  We got there at about noon and the first thing I went for was a deep fried blooming onion because I hadn’t had one for soo long, of course I would not miss out the ribs and pulled pork 😀  Anyways, my pictures below would tell you the rest of the story 😀

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 😀
