Joe Sir’s Birthday Dinner @ 利家盛酒家 2012

The birthday of our cooking class teacher Joseph Ho is near so we decided to bring him to a fantastic dinner just like last year.  Joe sir wasn’t able to drive because he got a terrible burn on his both hands from hot boiling frying oil preparing stuffs for a cooking class…  Glad he was OK but his hands were still wrapped up with bandages and stuff, so Christine picked him up to our dinner party gathering 😀  利家盛酒家 was our choice, which has been around in Toronto for sometime, located at 14th Ave. and Kennedy Ave.  A place where you HAVE to make a reservation or you will never get a chance to dine there if you walk in :-p  It was a fantastic restaurant choice aside from other restaurants we go to all the time, price was not bad really, about $40 a head with all the dishes we had, just look at those amazing food pictures below, yum yum…  If you are planning to have a big dinner with at least like 10 people, 利家盛酒家 is really a good place if you don’t want to spend too much, food quality is really not bad either but don’t forget to call to make a reservation tho :-p  anyways, too bad they don’t have a website but luckily, I have their no. 905.475.2822

Well, happy birthday Joe sir and wish his hands will get well soon 😀

O Mei

Although I had not been going to cooking lessons for a while, I am still very connected with my Aunties (cooking class classmates).  Joyce and Debbie are 2 of my top favorite aunties, so of course I would have to organized a dinner gathering to celebrate their birthday this week.  O Mei, located on 420 Hw# 7 Richmond Hill, just right at the MacDonald’s plaza.  A restaurant that has been around for a long long while, I have heard a lot of good words about their dinner varieties especially their lobsters dishes but never experienced it, so I thought I should definitely give this a try.

There was no doubt that the first thing we ordered was a 9+ lbs lobster/5 (龍蝦五吃), Chicken with 2 tastes (鳳雙飛), Taiwanese oyster (台式生蠔) and some misc. dishes.  It was totally a weight gaining experience because everything tasted and looked so good so I just kept on stuffing myself :p  Plus, because Debbie and Christine know the manager, we got soo many varieties of dessert for free…  At the very end, we cleaned out everything on the table, stuffed ourselves with a few pounds heavier belly and left the restaurant with a big smile on our faces 😀  2 big thumbs up!!!  Definitely a Chinese restaurant to consider if you are looking for a good Chinese diner even on weekdays if you know what I mean 🙂

TOMO SUSHI Japanese Restaurant

TOMO SUSHI Japanese Restaurant is located in Richmond Hill (Yonge st. and Weldrick rd.)  This is a restaurant that is a few blocks away from me, I have tried their take outs a couple times but never really got a chance to dine in it.  Luckily I got a perfect chance to go with a few friends so I could get a real good look and taste inside :p  We only had 4 people, so we didn’t order a lot but with just a few dishes, I was already amazed.  Of course it turned out as what I expected, food was very good and presentation was super.  Just take a look at the pictures below and yea, they taste as good as they look.  Oh, one thing I need to mention, if you dine in during sun down, the sunlight goes straight into the big windows which makes it a little uncomfortable with the bright light even with the shades :p  So go when its dark or before sun down :p 😀

Lunch with the Aunties @ 君臨天下

Yay, another BIG lunch dimsum gathering with the Aunties (靚靚師奶) since Queenie’s birthday is next week and very glad that Joseph and his wife can join us as well 😀  I remember the last time I went 君臨天下 was a long long time ago and it was a quite expensive Chinese restaurant back in the days.  Recently I have heard a lot of good things about this place, so I thought maybe we should give this a try so we went.  Turned out everything was exactly what I heard, food quality is really good and price is not bad either, not to mention they are doing 20% off lunch right now, just take a look at how much we ordered :p

年初三之人人菜館 (New Choice Restaurant)

Another awesome gathering with the aunties at 人人菜館 (New Choice Restaurant).  Since this week is Chinese New Year plus this weekend is Corolla’s birthday, so it was a perfect time for a gathering dinner 😀  If you follow my blog, you know this was not my first time being at 人人菜館, but with more people, a better chance to try more stuffs.  Overall, it was really a fun dinner night, very good food and I still recommend this to everyone if you are looking for a restaurant in Richmond Hill.  Think about it, today is a Wednesday, and the restaurant was almost full with a bad bad snowy weather tonight, so it’s got to be yum yum good :p
