Sky Dragon is located on the top floor of Dragon City Mall right in the heart of Chinatown, but for some reason, it had never crossed my radar. I went to Sky Dragon for the first time in November, and then returned with Michelle for a second visit earlier this month.

When I found myself in Calgary for the holidays, I thought, why not treat my family to some dim sum and get another review out of it at the same time? I had been meaning to write a review of Silver Dragon for years...

Located on the second floor of the Queen's Quay Terminal, Pearl Harbourfront has been on my radar for much longer than a year now. You can't have a conversation about the best dim sum in Toronto without Pearl Harbourfont being mentioned...

After our last experience at Shoppers Drug Mart this past weekend, we've decided that collecting Shoppers Optimum points is just not worth it. It's too much of a hassle for very little gain. And it's ironic that it's their loyalty card that has driven our business away...

In my family, Omnibot 2000 is a metonym for my determination, or some would say, my stubbornness. I wanted one, and I wanted it bad – I was relentless.

I was exploring our new area with Michelle when we came across Lam Kee BBQ Restaurant tucked away in the corner of a strip mall. I was hoping it would be a good alternative to trekking all the way to Chinatown, but on the other hand, I was hoping not to have such a good temptation within walking distance from home.

We've made several visits to Albert's recently – the service hasn't changed much over the years but the food is fresh, very delicious and super tasty. It's affordably priced and you definitely won't leave hungry.

Michelle and I recently went to Da Maria and ordered some take out. We hadn't been to Da Maria since mid-2006, but the food was definitely as good as we remembered.
