[Vaughan] Ikea Food Court – $2.99 Haddock Meal

Apr27

What a disappointment from my last meal at Onion Steak and Seafood restaurant – even this $2.99 Haddock meal at Ikea is better than that! I didn’t know there’s were a deal till I walk into their main lobby! $2.99 includes fries and two piece of haddock. It was very fresh and juicy! Very satisfying for $2.99! I wanted to order another one but hubby was not that hungry. This sure was my first time trying Haddock at Ikea! I’ll be back for more!

[Scarborough] Onion Steak & Seafood

Apr23

Been to Onion Steak & Seafood for the third time. Not a fan of this place – the food is just very “not good” – well to me – it’s just normal. I really didn’t know what to eat here when I know were coming here. I don’t like any of their buffet selections at all. Very blend and tasteless. Good thing was – I wasn’t too hungry to start off with. So I just nibble some of their food. Didn’t eat a lot – just some.

Here’s what Hubby and I had. Not a lot to chose from at all.

Our other family members ordered sizzling plate with their meal.

Here’s the dessert we had.

I don’t recommend this place at all. Also – the buffet price raised a bit – so look out for that!

[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.

[Markham] La Piazzetta Ristorante Bar & Grill at Monte Carlo Inns – Woodbine Ave & 16th Ave

Apr15
Address: 8900 Woodbine Ave, Markham, ON L3R 5K6
Phone:(905) 513-8100
Rating: 4.5 star / 5 star

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 :) !

 

[Dishcrawl Scarborough] Big Moe’s at Lawrence Location Review

Apr7

This was my first time at Big Moe’s – I know of a location near where I live – Steeles & Kennedy but never really got to step into this shop to check out what they offer till the night of Dishcrawl. I had no idea what we were up to or what we were having till they serve us a box of funnel cake!

That’s right – I had my first piece of funnel cake that night. You must be rolling your eyes aren’t you? I’ve lived here all my life but never had a funnel cake before. Seems kind of funny to me and now I really know what I’ve been missing out! It was like heaven to me after my first bite. After that first bite – I had to have the entire box of funnel cake. The funnel cake was serve warm and fresh. I knew I had to go back to Big Moe’s! Also – I’ve read quite a bit of reviews on their burgers and fries too – next time it is a must for me!

I’ve tried to google up this location and telephone number but don’t seem to find any!? Do anyone know if this location is brand new in Scarborough? It’s between Warden and Lawrence Avenue East. Feel free to comment below!

[Dishcrawl Scarborough] The Loaded Dog Sports Bar & Pub – Restaurant Review

Apr6

This was my first time at The Loaded Dog Sports Bar & Pub. Love how they decorated the outside – definitely a nice place to chill outside during the summer. But now it’s just way too cold to be anywhere. It’s a big sports bar! Ready for a food review?

This is what we had that night: 72 Homerun” Slider, Famous Wings 3 Ways, and Fresh Cut Fries.

The fries was delicious and fresh – definitely will be going back for more of those fries! Next time I will probably want to try a poutine with those fries. The chicken wings to me tasted all the same – so nothing all that special. For the 72 homerun slider – nothing spectacular to me either. It just tastes like a Big Mac from McDonald. I would prefer to try something I’ve never tried before. Overall – love the fries! Wings and slider – I didn’t care much about.

[Dishcrawl Scarborough] Makkal Chon Korean Restaurant – Restaurant Review

Apr5

Another one of my firsts – Makkal Chon – a Korean Restaurant – authentic too! It’s hard to find authentic Korean cuisine here in Scarborough and Markham these days. I had a really good experience here at Makkal Chon. Thanks for Dishcrawl for introducing me to such an awesome restaurant!

We started off with a little introduction of this restaurant and a little history behind it. We even got to meet the owner and her family members. Mak Kal Chon is a family base business.

Lots of variety of food in their menu – I will for sure be returning back when the weather gets warmer – I really want to try their Pork Bone Soup! One of my favorite Korean dish is Pork Bone Soup!

          

From left to right:    Ga-Ji Jorim     &&       Kim Chi      &&      Jab Chae

These are the three appetizers we shared – it was my first time trying the Ga-Ji Jorim too! It’s deep fried eggplant in a soy sauce with chopped vegetables. Very tasty and yummy! It’s a must have! The other two appetizers I’ve tried at other restaurants – they are pretty popular!

Here’s the 3 main courses we had that night.

From left to right:   Bulgogi   &&    Pa Jeon (Seafood Pancake)    &&   Dak Galbi Ssam (Spicy Chicken Wrap)

I gotta say all these main courses tasted VERY yummy. I’ve had Bulgogi before but the other two was new to me. The Pa Jeon was delicious and unique. Same with the Dak Galbi Ssam – it would be something I would never have tried till that night. Definitely something spicy to have. It was a nice experience trying these out! I think I need to join more of these Dishcrawl events – so I can try more new things.

I definitely will be returning back to try their Pork Bone Soup!
