There has been a lot of eating going on between the holidays and my birthday celebrations. It’s almost like a vice. Oh who am I kidding? It definitely is a vice. I hate to rely on food photography as a crutch for my 365 project, but it fills the “interesting part of my day” quotient. [...]

A belated birthday dinner (365:18)
My apologies for the delayed post. I was caught up in several fun preoccupations and lost track of myself. So yesterday I was taken out for a belated birthday celebration meal comprised of one of my favourite foods. It’s been a long time since I’ve done any food photography and it felt vaguely familiar in [...]
Legendary Noodle
Legendary Noodle is a noodle house that has caught my attention on more than one occasion in passing while making my way up and/or down Denman Street. The large and succinct signage expresses a couple of things that together would make a great meal. Being in the area on a somewhat dreary day, I took [...]
Szechuan Chongqing Seafood Restaurant (Broadway)
Szechuan Chongqing Seafood Restaurant (Broadway). Dim sum is a food that I just can’t get enough of. It might be the fact that I don’t get the opportunity to enjoy it very often, but there is just something about it that gets me excited even at just the prospect of a dim sum gathering. With [...]
Fortune Garden Seafood Restaurant
Fortune Garden Seafood Restaurant. My immediate family chose to eat dinner out one night and, after much deliberation, we finally decided to nourish ourselves at Fortune Garden Seafood Restaurant. My own spotty memory seems to recall that I had eaten here as a child for both dim sum lunches and set menu dinners, but I’m [...]
Western Lake – Revisited
Western Lake Chinese Seafood Restaurant. As mentioned in my original post (which can be viewed HERE), I attended another set menu dinner meal at Western Lake Chinese Seafood Restaurant and took it as an opportunity to try a few other dishes as well as reaffirm a few aspects of the dining experience. This time around [...]
Western Lake Chinese Seafood Restaurant
Western Lake Chinese Seafood Restaurant. My extended family enjoys going to Western Lake and for good reason. Having undergone an ownership/name change (from the old Wong Gok Restaurant) in recent years, it looks as though the renovations have only meant good things for this establishment. While I haven’t yet tried their dim sum, I have [...]
Tony’s Beef Noodle.
Tony’s Beef Noodle. Quite recently I was recommended to try Tony’s Beef Noodle by a friend of mine. Not knowing exactly when I’d be able to try this somewhat nondescript Taiwanese beef noodle place, I nearly forgot about it until another buddy randomly suggested that we go eat there. How could I ignore two good, [...]
Ho Yuen Kee Chinese Restaurant
Ho Yuen Kee Chinese Restaurant Ho Yuen Kee has sort of turned into a bit of a haunt for my family. It’s not that the food is particularly good or the service stellar (actually consensus states that the service is quite poor), but it seems like we can always enjoy a decent meal here and [...]
