[Scarborough] Yokozuna Japanese Noodle Eatery – Ramen & Sushi Review

May30

Finally – yes FINALLY! I finally got to try this restaurant out – waited for such a long time to try this restaurant out. Read many reviews too but reviews don’t really do its justice. I was looking more into their special sushi rolls instead of their ramen. I’m not really a ramen person – my husband is though! He loves his ramen!

The Sushi roll was delicious - Fire Dragon Roll (8pc) $12.95

Osaka Ramen $7.99

This was what I ordered. Love the soup base!

Tokyo Ramen $6.99

My favorite was the special sushi rolls – it was delicious and to die for! I knew we shouldn’t have ordered the sushi because the bowl of ramen was quite filling already. It was definitely worth it. Both our dinner total up to $35.00 with tax and tips. Service was excellent – they have a lot of employees to serve customers. I recommend you reserve before you head to this restaurant – it was quite pack.

[Markham] Pho Pad Thai – Woodbine Ave & 16th Ave Location

Apr30

This was my first visit at Pho Pad Thai – I love restaurants like this where there’s different cuisines. This restaurant is a pretty big restaurant and lots of tables. We visited this restaurant on a Saturday night and it was nearly packed. A large selection of dishes to pick from also.

I ordered a small Specialty Pho – gotta say their soup base was pretty tasty and on the good side. I’m super picky when it comes down to Pho – the soup base must be good otherwise it ruins the bowl of Pho. Not a disappointment at all!

We ordered a dish of Skewers to share between five people. By the time I finished my bowl of Pho – I was over-full already and didn’t get to try these. It smelt really yummy though – this is a must re-order next time! A better review next time on this dish! Service was decent and so is the presentation of food!

Highly recommend this restaurant!

[Scarborough] Yogi Noodles

Apr19

 

I’ve been to Yogo Noodles many many times and they never fail to satisfy me – even with their simplest dish. I ordered just the rice noodle “Chern Fun” this time because I wasn’t hungry enough to eat a full meal. It was simple and yet not too much food for me. Hubby ordered his all time favorite – Baked Cream Sauce on Seafood with Spaghetti. See how much seafood there were? It was a quick dinner – everything came so fast.

We headed to  La Piazzetta Ristorante Bar & Grill at Monte Carlo Inn for a celebration dinner. It was my Mother-in-law’s birthday and she chose to go here. I’ve been here once and this was my second time stepping inside this restaurant. It’s a Western restaurant but operated by Chinese people. It was quite a quiet place to be on a weekday – only a couple tables were occupied. What I love about their menu is – they have set course dinners at a fix price.

We all ordered a four course meal – it came with either salad or soup, main course, dessert, and a drink. They have different price range depending on what your main course is. The picture above is a lobster bisque soup that my husband ordered.

There was this oyster deal for $9.99 for half a dozen of fresh oysters.

Baked Escargots

Grilled Chicken on Mashed Potato

Steak & Shrimp dinner

Forgot what this dessert was called.

Overall – a really satisfying dinner. We were all very full and happy. What better to have in a birthday celebration right? Of course – delicious food does the job! Next time I would like to try their steaks! Have you been here before? What’s your experience? This location is the Woodbine & 16th Avenue location – inside Monte Carlo Inn. The service was excellent – staff were attentive! A place we must come back to :) !

 

[Markham] Leve Up ;; Afternoon Tea Specials

Mar29

Another afternoon tea at Level Up – we basically order the same thing. Yep – we can’t resist their yummy food!

Instead of the Chicken Salad Sandwich – I ordered the Tuna Salad this time. I love it! $4.99

As always – his all time favorite. Baked Spaghetti in ham and mushroom cream sauce. $5.99

Ordered chicken wings to share at $5.99

Our munchkin just sat there and watch us enjoy our afternoon tea. He was well behaved too! I couldn’t ask for a more well behaved child. Well – he’s only good sometimes and not all. I’m sure when he can eat – he’ll be fighting over for the chicken wings.

[Scarborough] New Northern Dumpling House ;; Dumpling Review

Mar28

I’m a dumpling girl and with a tray of good dumplings – I can have it every day! New Northern is now my favorite place to have dumplings. I can eat non-stop when I see these. My favorite is the leak and pork dumpling. What I love about them in this restaurant is they make it fresh and on the spot. It never disappoints and I love the freshness of every bite of it. It’s delicious and trust me – you all gotta try them out!

[Markham] Milestones at Highway7 & Warden Avenue ;; Restaurant & Food Review

Mar27

Celebrated our son’s first birthday at Milestones. I thought it be meaningful to celebrate his first milestone at Milestones. Get it? Hahaha – I like meaningful things. I didn’t know they had a Prix Fixe menu when we got there – even more better. It was a 3 course meal at $25.00 each. These are not the appetizer that came with the meal. What happened was – they didn’t have the soup starter we wanted and we waited about half an hour for it. So they decided to give us complimentary appetizers. We get to pick 5 appetizers on their regular menu,

Bruschetta

Sweet Potato Fries

Garlic Bread

Main Course: Chicken – not quite sure the full name of this meal

Main Course: Grilled Salmon

Main Course: Steak with baked potato

I do not recommend their steaks here – it sucks and it’s rough! it’s my second time trying their steaks and there is no next time! I order medium and it shouldn’t even be a problem chewing it. But nope – my jaw was tired after the second piece of steak. I had to take it home and make noodles with it instead. How disappointing right?

Dessert: Cookie & Cream

Dessert: Peacan Belgium Dark Chocolate Cake

We even had a complimentary dessert for munchkin’s first birthday. It was nice of the restaurant. We had a waitress that was fairly new and she made a lot of mistakes for our orders and such. Good thing I was in a good mood – otherwise I would of been really mad and requested to change servers. I didn’t want it to ruin our mood too especially dining with the in-laws. Hopefully she’ll learn from all the mistakes that night. Overall – had a delicious dinner. Dinner lasted about 2.5 hours long.

[Fast Food] KFC Big Crunch Combo Review

Mar24

What a naughty meal we had eh? Once in awhile is good but not three times a week for me. Especially trying to lose weight after having a baby – unhealthy food is out of the question. But once a blue moon is good. KFC is one of my favorite. Since we had the monthly coupon – hubby went to order two KFC combos to take home. Both the combos came with a burger, a fries, and a drink. From what I remember – it’s about $11.00 to $12.00 with a coupon. Not sure what the regular price is for each combo. I would say about $9.00 to $10.00 for each combo?

This is by far the best KFC burger I had. It’s the BIG CRUNCH burger – the chicken was very very tender and juicy. Usually when I eat at KFC – the chicken is either super salty or the chicken is super dry. This time was just way too perfect. The Big Crush is a HUGE burger – I was having trouble finishing the whole burger. I only had half of the fries too. It was a VERY satisfying meal !!
