Little Emilie’s Birthday

Time ran by fast, little Emilie is already 3 years old and Grace and Simon decided to celebrate on the Easter weekend.  I know it was a long day for them because they had to go to a Easter egg hunt thingie really early in the morning in Aurora.  Anyways, I remember there were soo many kids at Emilie’s birthday party last year and it was giving me a headache.  This year, not a lot of kids, which was a good thing because we could finally get to chat a little without kids running around like crazy :p  Overall, it was a very fun night 😀

草蜢華麗舞台演唱會 (Grasshopper’s glamour on stage)

The concert we were waiting for was finally here, 草蜢華麗舞台演唱會 (Grasshopper’s glamour on stage) located at Ricoh Coliseum and soo many friends were there too 😀  They started with slow songs then slowly moved into fast songs, at the half way point, the whole concert was already turned into a dance party and most people were on their feet dancing even the older people too, haha :p  Overall, it was a very funny and excited concert with a lot of old time favorites.  Too bad there was no encore at the end and because of that, after the concert was finished, we headed to Karaoke, since a few of us expected to have a late night concert and took the day off work the next day :p

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

Super Cook Karen!!!

Yet another weekend gathering @ Karen and Simon’s house, me and a few friends were invited over for a nice home made dinner.  She is already an amazing cook no doubt, maybe its the generic because her mom is a great cook too :p  I got there a little earlier than the others so I was watching the whole progress and she really made all those dishes looked extremely easy.  Seriously, with Karen and all other friends with amazing cooking skills, I really should learn from them and hopefully I could be that good someday 😀  Anyways, enough with the talking, lets take a look at all the dishes she did for us all by herself tonight and would probably make you go WOAH.

BTW, that lobster is over 5 lbs, just look at the size of those huge claws, really not easy to work with in my knowledge.

Macy, the Super Cook!!!

Once again, a little weekend gathering at Cheryl’s house, was extremely pleased that finally got a chance to have a taste of Macy’s cooking.  Chicken pot with herbs (藥膳走地雞煲), Sojo Clams (燒酒蜆), Spring onion ginger oyster pot (薑蔥生蠔煲) and a seafood fried rice (海鮮炒飯).  Seriously, it was probably the best home made Chinese dinner I have ever tasted, it’s even better than eating out really no doubt 😀  I am hoping one day she would apprentice me and make me an awesome cook like she is now because at her young age, the skills level is comparable or even higher than a lot of Aunties (靚靚師奶) I know.  Amazing 😀
