(Wed, April 28th) (Thu, March 1st – Winter storm hit Toronto dumping tons of stuff on the ground) (Fri, March 2nd) Got to SA's place. SW and AH were already cooking the four different kind of soup (and yes, most of us did help out with the preparation and cleaning LOTS of food (as usual — my kind of party .. haha):
Each day has enough trouble of its own. After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. – Unknown
you can only help him to find it for himself. – Galileo Galilei March arrived with a big bang!
My litte downtown Toronto Sunday evening trip: Uh, yeah … so “normal” people most probably would plan to see the IceFest and then (maybe) take the subway to check out the ghost station since they're practically there. Apparently my curiousity to see the Lower Bay station was far greater than to see the ice sculptures .. LOL! So, JW and I went to check them out. The TTC is doing some tunnel construction last weekend and a few weekends in March, so they close the Bay station and re-route the trains to pass through the old and unused – except for movies – (oh, and haunted – so they say) Lower Bay station. My train from Yonge/Bloor station to Museum station stopped at the Lower Bay station for a bit, and it was actually a bit strange being there. Nobody on the platform, veeeeeeeery quiet. Ugh, yeah, wouldn't want to be there alone.
The other experience was not that eerie … the IceFest @ Yorkville. LOL.
I read this article on the Toronto Star last Thursday about a very interesting quest to find Autumn. Well, this Autumn is in … Burlington. Read the full article from Vanity Fair here — it's very interesting. Here's the Autumn pic taken by Peter Burian (in case you don't want to click the two links above ..
I have nothing to talk about for my blog today. And I'm a little bit too lazy to go to the (24-hrs) grocery store a few blocks down the street and check out some stuff .. although it is pretty “warm” right now (1C .. hmmm … I'll take that over -20C anytime .. yupe, it's all relative … hehe). I guess I'll go tomorrow after work … Hmmm … I heard this guy in the elevator earlier today at work, he said he had to go home early to pick up his cat from the hospital 'coz it's costing him $800 (that's in CAD) a day, and he wasn't about to spend another 800 bucks for being late (apparently the hospital charges another $800 if the cat wasn't picked up by 5pm). Note to self: do not get a cat. Ooohhh .. maybe I'll just blog about FOOD .. yes …
Top second from left: Finally I went to Licks! After all these years my friends just told me they'd go there with me but never actually did (heh!). I like their homeburger .. and the fries too (yes, I believe it is fried). Top second from right: Golden Wok Seafood Chinese Restaurant (on 14th Avenue and Brimley) .. this is where we ate that “OH MY GOD! IT'S SO GOOD!” fried fish dish (see last blog). Their oyster was good too! Actually all of the dishes that my friend ordered were good. I think my friend kept the receipt so that if we ever go there again, we'll ask him to come along (since we don't know what he ordered). HAHAHA! Top right: Royal Teahouse .. a new place for dim sum (the same friend, who suggested Golden Wok, suggested this place too) .. I like their eggtart (but then again, I love eggtarts. LOL!). And check out that cute fried buns pic .. how could one possibly eat it? And oh, what do you think they look like? Mouse? Rabbit? Porcupine? Bottom left: Ajisen Noodle .. just opened on Yonge St. south of Finch Ave sometime last year. I like that kind of egg in noodles. Good food for a cold day. Bottom second from left: Basil Thai Kitchen .. this is on Danforth Ave (I believe, east of Woodbine). Very close to my Curling club, but they're closed on Mondays when I curl. D'OH!!! They serve Thai, Malaysian and Burmese food. I told them to add Indonesian food there too. LOL! We tried a bunch of dishes .. they're pretty good. Bottom second from right: Man Do Hyang .. Korean food on Yonge St. north of Cummer Ave. It was okay … Bottom right: Matahari Grill .. this is on Baldwin St downtown. My friend took me there one day. I've never been interested to try it before, 'coz usually if I go to Baldwin St, I always go to the same restaurant (that one with the lobster dish! YUMM!!! P.S. Hey, fruity, what do you think of having all FIVE of your “fruity's blogging sins” all in one post, huh? MOAHAHAHA! First, Happy belated Valentine's Day to those who chose to make it a special day.
So, the night before the new year, my friends and I went to this chinese restaurant called the Golden Wok Seafood on 14th Avenue — recommended by SW's co-worker. He was there too .. he was the one who placed the order. Here's one of the dishes .. actually, it's half of the complete dish (the other half was made into another dish). I have no idea what the name of the dish was (he said that particular one that he ordered was not on the menu, they had another kind on the menu) .. we ended up calling it the “OH MY GOD! IT'S SO GOOD!” fried fish dish:
Lastly, Happy Fat Tuesday! (Ooof, at least this one I'm not late .. LOL!). |
