Yes, it was that time of the year again and thanks my good friends for a birthday dinner celebration for me and Ruby!!! Another great Japanese restaurant pick located in downtown Toronto again, KINGYO (金魚) 🙂 I have to say out of all Japanese restaurants I have tried, this one probably has the most comfortable seats out of all. Tho it says izakaya (Japanese grilled), they don’t really have a lot izakaya to choose from but what I like the most was, everything tasted not as salty as the other izakaya and their sushi/sashimi tasted very good as well as their presentation. I would recommend this place to friends especially if you are looking to find a izakaya restaurant which is not as noisy so you can actually chat with your friends, and not to mention, the place is actually quite large, hehe. If you are interested to try this place out, I believe you will have to make a reservation AND you will only have 2 hours of eat time or they WILL kick you out, just a friendly reminder 😛

“kids” – a short video using my Sony ActionCam
Finally made a video using some of the footage from my Sony ActionCam, while I was uploading to YouTube, I realized the last video I uploaded was almost 2 years ago. I here to promise, I will make videos more frequently. Anyways, here is a video of some misc. short clips of kids that I hang out with almost every week that’s why I call this video “kids”. FYI, in the beginning and at the end, those clips were shot in 120 fps slow motion mode, and for the rest were just regular 30 fps, enjoy!

Markham RibFest 2013
Yup, it is that time of the year again, RIBs!!! I love to eat, tho I always watch out what I put in my mouth, but who can resist the juiciness of oily/greasy grilled meat!!! Got there before 6 because usually parking is a bitch after 6 and we were right. Overall, it wasn’t as good as before, everything used to be very strong tasted, instead everything tasted light, umm, it could be my taste buds wearing out or something, but I will definitely go try again in 2 weeks for the Richmond Hill one at Richmond Green 😛

CATS The Musical
Most people know about this amazing musical “CATS” by one of their greatest songs “Memory”, well, that’s how I know about this because I used to play the song on piano back in the days 😛 I believe they will still be around for a few weeks so if you are interested, get your tickets now!!! About the musical, it was really amazing, quote the singing part, the story is alright, well, it’s all about a bunch of street cats hanging out the junk yard really hahaha 🙂 If you have never seen it, you really have a pay a lot of attention on everything that is going on really, they interact with you sometimes and a whole lot of story telling in their songs. Overall, I love it, the costumes, singing and everything, if I have a chance to see it again, I totally would, only if I can see it in a bigger theatre because we saw it in Panasonic theatre which is a little small, I am sure it would be stunning in a bigger theatre hehe.

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka Toronto (山頭火）
A very small Japanese Ramen Restaurant with a very big taste!!! 91 Dundas St E, Down Town Toronto, not hard to find, extremely easy if you take the subway, just exit Dundas station and walk outside from Eaton Center. I was quite surprised about the pretty displays ramen bowls in their windows and everything looked pretty neat from the outside, on the other hand, inside is very basic and kind of dull but once I saw the varieties of ramen on their menu, my eyes almost popped out. I believe all the ramen are the same size, unlike those huge portions ones we tried in the other places, I totally love their bowl size 😛 I have to admit, I love their noodles along with their meat and my friends love it too BUT we do have a big comment about everything, overall, everything is quite salty really… Other than that, everything would have been perfect, I when we go next time, we just order things with less salt 😛 Or maybe that’s the overall Japanese style because most I have tried are like this 😛
